Criminal Justice

And they call this criminal justice Tell me where did we go wrong Divide and conquer was their weapon But together we are strong I remember the day like yesterday in '1984' The miners they were out on strike and Thatcher declared it war We stood on Orgreave battlefield as the cavalry advanced The miners they were ill prepared they didn't stand a chance They smashed head on into their lines their shields and batons drawn And on this day that blood was split a violent beast was born, and And they call this criminal justice Tell me where did we go wrong Divide and conquer was their weapon But together we are strong Paul Newbury was a traveling man he had no fixed abode He wandered around the countryside just living off the road He lived his life without a care, singing songs for you and me And there he'll stand, with sticks in hand just longing to be free But the coppers they would come along and shove the guy around Because he chose a different life they've run him out of town, and And they call this criminal justice Tell me where did we go wrong Divide and conquer was their weapon But together we are strong We set out for the Solstice eve to visit the sacred site The bill said that's illegal as we gathered through the night We marveled at the sacred stones, we didn't come to fight You could hear the screams a mile away As they dragged us from the site We tried our best to make a stand, we didn't want to move When the Laws are stacked against you You're always going to lose, and And they call this criminal justice Tell me where did we go wrong Divide and conquer was their weapon But together we are strong Criminal Justice Bill '1994' Illegal gatherings and their eviction laws Eviction laws
