The New Tory Anthem (replacing The Red Flag.)

The New Tory flag’s still slightly pink,

Blue-rinse it in the kitchen sink,

Far better that we all were dead

Than leave the merest trace of Red

Then raise the Tory standard high

Beneath its shade we’ll live or die

Old Labour comrades well may sneer

But the True Blue Flag keeps flying here.

Tony Blair he scrapped Clause IV

No Socialist program any more

Just privatize and contract out

Send workers’ wages up the spout

Then raise the Tory standard high

Beneath its shade we’ll live or die

Keir Hardie’s turning in his grave

As the Tory flag we proudly wave.

The Red Flag proved our old insight

When we knew Karl Marx was right

Workers’ toil creates all wealth

Capital just steals by stealth

But we don’t worry any more

Maggie Thatcher laid down the law

I’m Alright Jack is our creed

Destroy the world for profit greed.

The North exploits the starving South

Snatches resources from its mouth

Southern sweat-shops are our goal

Put Northern workers on the dole.

The World Bank, IMF and WTO

Enslave whole nations to debts they owe,

Exploit the bastards and make ‘em pay

No Soviet aid for a Socialist way.

Shoulder to shoulder swear we all

To wave Old Glory till we fall

Thirteen Stripes and now 51 stars

USA, we’ll lick your arse!

Then raise the Star Spangled Banner high

For Bush’s wars we’ll gladly die

Like a loyal poodle we trot along

Behind America right or wrong.
