• Smash The Social Contract

For the ruling class and labour Government the situation is getting worse and worse
Ev'ry thing they try is bound to fail because they 'labour' under history's inescapable curse:
From crisis to crisis they lurch and they sway
They scratch their heads to find a new devious way,
They hope! The social contract will remedy their plight
But we've twigged their old tactic & we're going to fight

Chorus

So Smash (Smash, Smash) the Social Contract it's the cry of workers all over the land
No! to class collaboration We've sorted out your lies and deception
You always call for sacrifice And for sacrifice we're ready, but not
To save the system but for the victory of our class

Liberal, Labour, Tory: all the same. They play the part of monopoly capitalist hacks
No matter if they call us 'brother', They want the price of the crisis to be laid on our backs
"Give up this, Give up that. Take the cuts and tighten your belts"
They say . . The Social contract is for the country's health
What they mean is healthy profits for ruling class wealth,

Chorus

Now at Leyland Ford and other factories, class conscious workers are shouting No No No
Dockers & Sailors on the seas, And other workers join the battle and the tide is in flood
As the masses struggle the mask is ripped away: The gruesome reality is plain to see:
The real . . Social Contract is for the country's health:
What they mean is healthy profits for ruling class wealth,

Chorus

In the fight to smash the contract We build our strength and discipline
Grasp it firmly as we organise the seizer of power is the path ahead.
The proletarian party, steeled and strong, leading and guiding the working class
Unite! to smash the Contract, It's part of our task
Which is to fight & overthrow the ruling class.
Chorus
