Lyrics:

A dog stares into a gramaphone trumpet

Waits for his call to action

Mute and obedient, standing to attention

Look a little closer, the dog is a man

Working on the factory

floor as hard as he can

The trumpets is a loudspeaker,

fixed into the roof

The man can hear His Master's Voice

And it always tells the truth

The man obeys his master, and

carries out his work

And of course he is rewarded

with bonuses and perks

You see, they have an understanding

And this is it:

The man stands under his master

Whilst his master has a shit

There's always been a pattern of struggle and defeat

Never that cycle incomplete

Never enough to tip the scales

Too many people rotting in jails

Or bloodied on the battlefields

The history books from every age

Have the same words written on every page

Always starting with 'Revolution'

And ending with 'Capitulation'

Always silenced by the truncheon

Or bought out with concessions

Always repetition...

Repetition... repetition... repetition...

'I'm the boss of the factory

'I'm in charge of the U.K.C.

'Shopfloor workers run and fetch

'As I sit around and smugly watch

'And the process makes me stinking rich'

We're all links in the factory chain

And the chain grows longer day by day

And whilst we're apart

The process won't stop

Repetition... repetition... repetition...

But we're kept apart by philosophies

And moral stances and policies

We'll be stuck in our own little ghettos forever

'Til we start to work together

Together... Together... Together...

Together in the open or together in

our little heaven?

Fighting for total change, or working for concessions?

Do we take what is ours, or ask that it be given?

Are we stealing it together, or asking for permission?

Even though we disagree we share a common enemy

Our methods may not be the same

But together we can break the chain

Different aims, different means, with

common ground in between

Don't sit back, it's time to act

This life is ours, let's snatch it back

Even though we disagree we share a common enemy

Our methods may not be the same

But together we can break the chain

Different aims, different means, with

common ground in between

Don't sit back, it's time to act

This life is ours, let's snatch it back

The time has come to make a choice

Stop taking orders from His Master's Voice!

"And how comfortless is the thought that the sickness of the normal does not necessarily imply the health of the sick, but that the latter usually only present, in a different way, the same disastrous pattern." --Theodor Adorno

Played in memory of John Peel, featured in a festive 50, Chumbawamba & a great track, 'Revolution'.

Such an under rated band. I like ALL of their stuff. Even Tubthumping is a radical song if you get the lyrics. I love that they went pop in order to reach a wider audience. The message is lost if nobody is listening.

THIS SONG IS BY FAR ONE OF THE FINEST TRACKS TO COME OUT OF THE ANARCHO SCENE! ABSOLUTE CLASS NOT CRASS!

These lyrics are so brilliant. Just look at what's happening in Egypt right NOW. This is the story of every revolution... The history books from every age Have the same words written on every page Always starting with 'Revolution' And ending with 'Capitulation' Always silenced by the truncheon Or bought out with concessions Always repetition...
