Never Hold Your Tongue (Live at Wapping Wall, London 1986)

I’m the greatest
The magnificent, can’t you see?
I have faith in myself
When no-one has any in me
You won’t succeed if you try to put me down
You may oppress me but you will not rub my, nose in the ground
There’s a future I can build with my own hands
I know what’s going on, I know what’s going wrong
And while there’s air in my lungs
I’ll never hold my tongue

In the background of all history can’t you see
Is the manipulation of people, people like you and me
You won’t succeed if you try to put us down
You may oppress us but you will not rub our noses in the ground
There’s a future we can build with our own hands
We know what’s going on, we know what’s going wrong
And while there’s air in our lungs

We’ll never hold out tongues

Lip service is not enough
When the going is, getting pretty rough
Well on my own, what can I do? You can’t all lean on me
I can’t pull you all through
How can you fight for what you believe
When you still haven’t up off your knees
Get up off of your knees
You’re wearing big holes in your Jeans
Well, strike while the iron Is hot

We’re the greatest, the magnificent
Can’t you see
Yeah, the spirit of rebellion lies within
You and me
You won’t succeed if you try to put us down
You may oppress us but you will not rub our noses in the ground
We can feel it, we can see it we can steal a brighter day
We know what’s going on, we know what’s going wrong
And while there’s air in our lungs

We’ll never hold our tongues

Never hold your tongues, Never hold, never hold
Never, never, never hold your tongues
