Texty: English Beat. Stand down Margaret.

I said I see no joy, I see only sorrow
I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow

So stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down
I say stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down

Stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down Margaret
I say stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down

I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get the chance
Just to sing to my children in a holiday jam
Our lives seem petty in your cold gray hands
Would you give a second thought, would you ever give a damn?

I doubt it
Stand down Margaret
Everybody shout it
Stand down Margaret

Work, white law
Shell shock, world war

Stand down please
Stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down Margaret
I say stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down Margaret
Stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down Margaret
I say stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down Margaret
