about

Written by P. Hulse / G. Wilcox

lyrics

I went out to Liverpool, to see what I could see
Of this City that has been blighted in the pages of History
But what I found was a City of culture and flair
The 'One' precinct and the Liverpool Water' plans there

We've got to learn from it, they turned it all around
From the top down

I went up to Newcastle, to see what could be found
Of this region that lost its Industry, I'd heard pulled to the ground
But what I found was a thriving community
The 'Baltic', and 'The Sage' and 'The Jesmond Dene'

We've got to learn from it, they turned it all around
From the top down
We've got to learn from it, they turned it all around
From the top down

I went out to Westminster, I'd heard things there weren't great
But what I found there truly shocked me, and ethic-less and lawless state
The House of Commons and the House of Lords -
A house of Cards some claim
Based on the wealth of their forebears
Not on anything they do or say

These are the ones with our lives in their hands
They don't care, we just give - they just take
And until our decisions start affecting them
They're going to let us all eat cake
So let's start a revolution in the congestion zone
We are mighty, though we are small
So take your shovel and your pick, and brick by brick
Let's start dismantling Whitehall

We've got to learn from it, and turn it all around
From the top down
We've got to learn from it, and turn it all around
From the top down
We've got to learn from it, and turn it all around
From the top down, From the top down

You and me - can't you see?
There is power in a union
And we've got to turn it around.
