Lyrics

Power in the darkness Frightening lies from the other side Power in the darkness Stand up and fight for your rights Freedom, we're talking 'bout your freedom Freedom to choose what you do with your body Freedom to believe what you like Freedom for brothers to love one another Freedom for black and white Freedom from the leeches and male domination Freedom for the mother and wife Freedom from Big Brother's interrogation Freedom to live your own life Power in the darkness Frightening lies from the other side Power in the darkness Stand up and fight for your rights (we need this) The 6 p.m. curfew is to remain strictly enforced for the time being Today, institutions fundamental To the British system of government are under attack The public schools, the House of Lords The Church of England, the holy institution of marriage Even our magnificent police force are no longer safe From those who would undermine our society And it's about time we said 'Enough is enough' And saw a return to the traditional British values of discipline Obedience, morality, and freedom Freedom from the reds and the blacks and the criminals Prostitutes, pansies, and punks Football hooligans, juvenile delinquents Lesbians and left wing scum Freedom from the niggers and the Pakis and the unions Freedom from the gypsies and the Jews Freedom from the long-haried layabouts and students Freedom from the likes of you Power in the darkness Frightening lies from the other side Power in the darkness Stand up and fight for your rights Power in the darkness Frightening lies from the other side Power in the darkness Stand up and fight for your rights Power in the darkness Frightening lies from the other side Power in the darkness Stand up and fight for your rights
