Robert Wyatt - The age of self

They ^Bbsay the working class is dead, we're ^Emall consumers ^Ebnow They ^Bbsay that we have moved ahead, we're ^Emall just people ^Ebnow There's ^Bbpeople doing 'frightfully well' there's ^Emothers on the ^Ebshelf But n^Bbever mind the second kind this ^Emis the age of ^Ebself

And it s^Gmeems to me if we forget our ^Droots and where we stand The ^Bbmovement will disintegrate like c^Castles built on sand

They ^Bbsay we need new images to ^Emhelp our movement ^Ebgrow They ^Bbsay that life is broader based as ^Emif we didn't ^Ebknow While ^BbMartin J. and Robert Maxwell p^Emlay with printer's ^Ebink The ^Bbworkers 'round the world still die for ^EmRio Tinto ^EbZinc

And it s^Gmeems to me if we forget our ^Droots and where we stand The ^Bbmovement will disintegrate like c^Castles built on sand ^Cm Castles built on ^Gmsand
