    Mr. Heseltine you drove into our town

    The northern rain always drizzling down

    Shoppers at the window stopped to look

    As you signed another copy of your book ’ Cause you have all the power

    And you have all the wealth

    And we’ve got nothing but ourselves

    We’ve got nothing but ourselves

    We’ve got nothing but ourselves

    So we’ll do away with leaders, bosses and police

    Reclaim our actions, rediscover our voices

    Salvage our integrity, reassert our dignity

    Power in the heart of the community

    Mr. Heseltine listen to me

    We don’t want power

    And we don’t want money

    We’re fighting for the right to decide

    How the power and the wealth

    Be equally divided

    Old people in Seacroft need money for bills S ingle mums with kids want decent meals

    And we all want new coats

    When all’s said and done

    They’re all worn out

    From being walked upon

    There comes a time when we organize

    When we take control of our daily lives

    When we don’t obey orders from authority

    When we disbelieve the myths of democracy

    Democracy Street, Britain’s longest running soap, with the added illusion of audience participation. Our act tonight, on the left, capitalism that’s right, on the right, capitalism is it, in the middle, probably the best capitalism in the world. Remember it’s your choice, your five seconds worth of action that counts. I mean that most sincerely voters. Sit tight, keep quiet, 'till the next time. The next time being one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five days away. Well if freedom is the choice between greed and practically the same opression, then I’ll take the one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five days. Never mind the ballots, here’s the rest of your life.

    Mr. Heseltine drove away

    Two more appointments in the north today

    Helpless and powerless

    We join the queue for the metro bus

    And Mr. Heseltine I’ve made up my mind

    I’ll never give support to you and your kind
