Chumbawamba Mr Heseltine Meets His Public
Mr Heseltine you drove into our town The northern rain always drizzling down Shoppers at the window stopped to look As you signed another copy of your book You have all the power And you have all the wealth We've got nothing... but ourselves So we'll do away with leaders and bosses and police: Reclaim our actions, rediscover our voices Salvage our integrity, reassert our dignity. Power in the heart of the community! Mr Heseltine We don't want power and we don't want money We're fighting for the right to decide How the power and the wealth Be equally divided... Old people in Seacroft Need money for bills Single mums with kids Want decent meals And we all want new coats, When all's said and done: They're all worn out From being walked upon... There comes a time when we organise When we take control of our daily lives When we don't obey orders from authority When we disbelieve the myths of Democracy Mr Heseltine drove away Two more appointments in the north today Helpless and powerless We join the queue for the metro bus And Mr Heseltine I've up my mind: I'll never give support to you and your kind
