No power without accountability
By Billy Bragg
Intro
Em A D Em
Verse 1
Em A
I grew up, in a company town
Em
And I work a' hard til' the company closed down
Em A
They gave my job, to another man
Em
On half my wages in some foreign land
A Em
And when I asked, how could that be, any good for our economy,
A Em
I was told, nobody cared, so long as they make money when they sell their
shares
Chorus
Em A
Can you hear us, are you listening
Em A
There's no power without accountability
Verse 2
Em A
I lost my job, my car and my house
Em A
When 10,000 miles away some guy clicked on a mouse
Em A
He didn't know me, we never spoke
Em A
He didn't ask my opinion or canvas for my vote
Em
I guess it's true,
A
Nobody cares until those petrol bombs come spinning through the air
Em
Gotta find a way
A Em
to hold them to account before they find a way to snuff our voices out
Chorus
Verse 3
Em A
The ballot box is no garruntee, that we achieve democracy
Em
Our leaders claim their victory
