1. So yes, let's think about tomorrow, lest this war we all ignore, For religion flies out the window, aye and reason out the door;No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Let the powers that be all see there's better songs to sing than this'.

2. Oh nature's laws are boundless, but alas mankind's are not,The rich for the rich, the poor for the poor, but cures cannot be bought, No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Let the powers that be all see there's better songs to sing than this'.

3. From royalty to poverty fate's finger moves on still,From Earls and Peers to profiteers, ignore this at your will,No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Let the powers that be all see there's better songs to sing than this'.

4. It's time to oust this ruling class, let the working man compete, For what good is your five a day, when there's nobody here to eat. No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Let the powers that be all see there's better songs to sing than this'.

5. So beware the false diviner, give us comfort through the pain,May we live to see and hear the chimes of freedom strike again. No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Let the powers that be all see there's better songs to sing than this‘.
