Does anyone know where the march is?
We've been searching for hours
We couldn't get the generator started
We were on the back of a lorry
But with no power we had no sound
While we were tackling the problem
The march moved off and disappeared into town
Oh where did it go, god knows
It could have been worse I suppose
Just look at us
We're standing here in our rebel clothes
Singing rebel songs with a rebel pose
We were waiting for the traffic to clear
Stuck outside of Tesco's
Does anyone know where the march is?
We bellowed at the passers-by
They thought we were a bunch of crazies, no reply
We saw a kid clutching a leaflet
Oh this is where the march must have been
She told us we were all stupid,
It was causing the traffic jam that we were in
Oh where did it go, god knows
It could have been worse I suppose
Just look at us
We're standing here in our rebel clothes
Singing rebel songs with a rebel pose
We were waiting for the traffic to clear
Stuck outside of Tesco's
A band with a message
Going no-where
So we played to the shoppers
In the end we didn't care, we didn't care
They said "What's this? What's this? Oh, how subversive!”

Vi è mai capitato di partecipare ad una manifestazione organizzata dai “centri sociali”?
Beh, c’è sempre l’immancabile furgone sovraccarico di casse che sparano musica a tutto volume e, più raramente, un camion a pianale su cui monta una band cercando di suonare tra uno scossone ed un altro…
Bene, in questa ironica canzoncina dei Neurotici inglesi quelli che dovevano suonare si sono persi il corteo di protesta e, “tutti bardati da ribelli, suonando canzoni ribelli, in pose ribelli”, finiscono con l’esibirsi in mezzo al traffico, tra la gente impegnata nelle compere, che esclama: “Ma ce cos’è? Cos’è? Oh, che sovversivi!”
