Lyrics

broad daylight they came
took away my rights
i was told that i was to blame
that this would be my night
still they gave no reason
no nothing did they say
well i knew someone was lying
and I've been searching since that day
sold down the river
no-one stands for me
just empty houses
tired lonely streets
when we were working
this place had style
now no-one comes within a mile
beaten and stamped upon
they tried to kill my soul
union had done a deal
that left me on the dole
we all had paid our dues
right up till that day
we're sorry our hands are tied
was all that they could say
sold down the river
no-one stands for me
just empty houses
tired lonely streets
when we were working
this place had style
now no-one comes within a mile
blackout in the papers
wouldn't let them have their say
they'd banned striking under the tories
but this had to be ok
police out numbered the strikers
breaking the law now move along
they beat them with rubber truncheons
they held together strong
went searching for the reason
came back here to say
that if you need someone to believe in
then we've been looking the wrong way
sold down the river
flowing out to sea
past empty houses
tired lonely streets
when we were working
this place had style
now no-one comes and no-one smiles
no one smiles
gotta demonstrate
set the record straight
gotta demonstrate
set the record straight
gotta demonstrate
gotta demonstrate
set the record straight
