Is this the price we pay for progress? |
|
Taking one step forwards for every six we take back |
|
Does your dirty oil-stained money make you happy |
|
Do you just want to be remembered? |
|
Book your place in history, you will be |
|
Reform, reform |
|
Oh, you are taking apart |
|
What we made |
|
With our hands and our hearts |
|
Our hands and our hearts |
|
Are not just tools to ply your trade |
|
They're ours to live our lives |
|
And you're taking them away |
|
So feel free to wrap your hands around my neck |
|
I feel free to do the same |
|
Feel free, surround your hands around our necks |
|
Feel free to do the same |
|
Reform, reform |
|
Oh, you are taking apart |
|
What we made |
|
With our hands and our hearts |
|
Mr. Beeching, I put it to you |
|
(Reform, reform) |
|
You're driving a stake straight through |
|
(Oh, you are taking apart) |
|
The heart |
|
(What we made) |
|
Of this green and pleasant land |
|
(With our hands and our hearts) |
|
Further to this |
|
(Reform, reform) |
|
There's nothing you would rather [Incomprehensible] |
|
(Oh, you are taking apart) |
|
Runs around that stake into |
|
(What we made) |
|
A chance |
|
(With our hands and our hearts) |
|
Reform, reform |
|
Oh, you are taking apart |
|
What we made |
|
With our hands and our hearts |
