The Day That Thatcher Dies

We will laugh the day that Thatcher dies Even though we know it's not right We will dance and sing all night I was blind in 1979 by '82 I had clues By 1986 I was mad as hell The teachers at school They took us for fools 'Cause they never taught us what we should do But Christ, we were strong We knew all along We taught ourselves the right from wrong Because those punk rock kids with punk rock kicks Well it's not their fault And those hip-hop boys and heavy metal girls No, it's not their fault It was love, but Tories don't know what that means She was Michelle Cox from the lower stream She wore high-heeled shoes while the rest wore flat soles And the playground taught her how to be cruel I talked politics and she called me a fool She wrapped an ankle chain 'round my left-wing heart The teachers at school They took us for fools 'Cause they never taught us what we should do But Christ, we were strong We knew all along We taught ourselves the right from wrong Because those punk rock kids with punk rock kicks Well it's not their fault And those hip-hop boys and heavy metal girls No, it's not their fault We will laugh the day that Thatcher dies Even though we know it's not right We will dance and sing all night Ding dong, the witch is dead Which old witch? The wicked witch Ding dong, the witch is dead The wicked witch is dead
