Verse 1:
       E                  A              
Yes, I know you did your bit back then

But what was it you won? 
E                    A           
Take a good look round you now.  
   B 
Whose side were you on? 

      A                           E    
And I wonder if you understand at all?

And I wonder if you ever ask yourself?

When everyone has an equal chance

to live the life they buy 
     E                    A                   
When free health care can save your life.

But queue until you die

Verse 2:

     E                 A           
When still the muscles make the man 
     E             A 
And men make women pay 
     E                   A               
When Britain's flag is a badge of hate 
      B 
And just the fair can play 
     E                   A           
When still the homeless, jobless cry  
      E               A 
When money shouts and lies 
    E                 A           
And buys off just enough to vote  
            B 
And buy the other side 

       A                           E    
Then I wonder if you understand at all? 
       A                          E     B 
And I wonder if you never ask yourself?

Is that what you fought the war for?  
   E        B              A 
Is that why you fought the war?
