We will laugh the day that Thatcher dies
Even though we know it’s not right

I was blind in 1979, by ‘82 I had clues
By 1986 I was mad as hell

Well, it’s not their fault
And those hip hop boys and heavy metal girls

And those hip hop boys and heavy metal girls
No, it’s not their fault

We will laugh the day that Thatcher dies
Even though we know it’s not right
We will dance and sing all night
