Lyrics
:
"It's called Let's Keep The Flames Of Hope Alive, Never Let The Fires Die Cause If They Should Die There'll Be No Light Left In This Land Take A Lie Of The Land, Dave" Too young to care too old to fight Ain't bothered about your life Drop out far out don't go to school Get out while the goings good Sign up for the dole dig a hole For your bone and moan ain't got any cash Hedonistic man with your can And your head of sand Take the lie of the land LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE And never let the fires die Take the LIE OF THE LAND Today don't wait don't hesitate Get out there join a march Join hands make plans and take a chance On the right hand side of the road Avoid the gang of the man named Vicious Henry And his friend called Billy Whizz Don't stay in the dark where the sharks Will rip you off they're gonna tear you apart LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE And never let the fires die (Take the LIE OF THE LAND. ) We ain't logging At home you're alone you're the people That your parents warned you about And all your walls are adomed with protest And you always quote the......... LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE And never let the fires die We must not let them die LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE And never forget that if the fires die There'll be no light in this land Take a LIE OF THE LAND Take the lie, take the lie, take the lie Take the LIE OF THE LAND Take the lie Take the LIE OF THE LAND Take the lie, take the lie, take the lie Take the LIE OF THE LAND Keep the flames of hope alive
