There is a kind of compromise you are master of | |
Your endless gentle nudging left us polarised | |
It's hard to talk to enemies – and we are enemies | |
What we had in common makes it even worse | |
You're proud of being middle class (meaning upper class) | |
You say you're self sufficient (but you don't dig your own coal) | |
I think that what you're frightened of more than anything | |
Is knowing you need workers more than they need you | |
"A herd of independent minds" Chomsky got it right | |
You're jogging into battle waving old school ties |
There is a kind of compromise you are master of | |
Your endless gentle nudging left us polarised | |
It' s hard to talk to enemies and we are enemies | |
What we had in common makes it even worse | |
You' re proud of being middle class meaning upper class | |
You say you' re self sufficient but you don' t dig your own coal | |
I think that what you' re frightened of more than anything | |
Is knowing you need workers more than they need you | |
