Paragraph Lyric
They're moving father's grave to build a sewerThey're moving it regardless of expense.They're moving his remains to lay down nine-inchdrainsTo irrigate some rich bloke's residence.Now what's the use of having a religion?If when you're dead you cannot get some peace'Cause some society chap wants a pipeline to histankAnd moves you from your place of rest and peace...Now father in his life was not a quitterAnd I'm sure that he'll not be a quitter now.And in his winding sheet, he will haunt that privyseatAnd only let them go when he'll allow.Now won't there be some bleedin' consternation,And won't those city toffs begin to rave!But it's no more than they deserve, 'cause they hadthe bleedin' nerveTo muck about a British workman's grave.Note: A classic epic of the class struggle
