I thought I could hear the curious tone
Of the manufacturing mechanical drone
The banking system beats it’s drum
Generating cash for everyone
But I was just in a trance
All together in the re-dun-dance
All together in the re-dun-dance

As I walked home on a Summer night
Me and my mates were feeling shite
Sometimes things just don’t seem fair
When your in a state of pure despair
In the land of Gordon Brown

Borne from afar a million Chinese
Send second rate gear across the seas
Distant memories of our world class stance
Invincible in our ignorance
With a yellow fog floating down

I thought I could hear the curious tone
Of the manufacturing mechanical drone
The banking system beats it’s drum
Generating cash for everyone
But I was just in a trance
All together in the re-dun-dance
All together in the re-dun-dance

And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing
As to the job centre we were all advancing
In and out of the houses they came
Repossessed and crying shame
In this land of Gordon Brown

The government at last took haste
To save the economy but much too late
Whether we exist I think they care not
As Together they hatch a new plot
And we have to string along.

I thought I could hear the curious tone
Of the manufacturing mechanical drone
The banking system beats it’s drum
Generating cash for everyone
But I was just in a trance
All together in the re-dun-dance
All together in the re-dun-dance
