The Post War Dream
Pink Floyd Lyrics
(Announced plans to build a nuclear fallout shelter at Peterborough in Cambridgeshire)
(Three high court judges have cleared the way)
(It was announced today, that the replacement for the Atlantic Conveyor
The container ship lost in the Falklands conflict would be built in Japan, a spokesman for)
(Moving in. They say the third world countries, like Bolivia
Which produce the drug are suffering from rising violence)
Tell me true, tell me why, was Jesus crucified
Was it for this that Daddy died?
Was it for you? Was it me?
Did I watch too much TV?
Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?
If it wasn't for the Nips
Being so good at building ships
The yards would still be open on the Clyde
And that can't be much fun for them
Beneath the rising sun
With all their kids committing suicide
What have we done, Maggie, what have we done?
What have we done to England?
Should we shout, should we scream
"What happened to the post war dream?"
Oh Maggie, Maggie what did we do?
