You fought long and strong
And a lot said you were wrong
To fight this obsession
With a Thatcher oppression
You were sold down the line
And we'll all see in time
When they made you go back to the mines, lads.
You've been out for a year
And we'll all shed a tear
There'll be a new fear for the outcome of this year.
Go back with your heads held high, lads.
We were with you all the way
Though we did not have to pay
The workers of today
Should have found a way
For you to win your day
For it's them who'll have to pay for this sad day.
