Şarkı sözleri : Stiff Little Fingers. Silver Lining.

They tell you not to worry
They say they're terribly sorry
But that's the way it has to be
For the likes of you and me

Just be good and know your station
Always look on the bright side
Keep you faith and keep your patience
Your reward is after you've died

So don't be told, don't be consoled
Things are so bad, you can never make do
And there's always someone better off than you

They tell you that's your future
It's all down to human nature
Simply settle for what you got
That's destiny and that's your lot

All of us cannot come first
Yes, what you have is second best
But it might be a good deal worse
Third world peasants get even less

So don't be told, don't be consoled
Things are so bad, you can never make do
And there's always someone better off than you

Do you care that it's not fair?
Is this the way we have to live?
I know I care and I want an equal share
Even if it mean I have to give

The people who are on top
Say that you should keep your chin up
And they are keen to show you
The unhappy ones below you

But I want to more of that stuff
That's looking at it upside down
And the world has got money
Enough for us to make it go around

So don't be told, don't be consoled
Don't be ruled and don't be fooled
Because things are so bad you can never make do
And there's always someone better off than you
