Lyrics Between the Wars (Live San Fransisco 3 June 1985) - Billy Bragg
I
was
a
miner
I
was
a
docker
I
was
a
railway
man
Between
the
wars
I
raised
a
family
In
times
of
austerity
With
sweat
at
the
foundry
Between
the
wars
I
paid
the
union
and
as
times
got
harder
I
looked
to
the
government
to
help
the
working
man
But
they
brought
prosperity
down
at
the
armoury
We're
arming
for
peace
my
boys!
Between
the
wars
I
kept
the
faith
and
I
kept
voting
Not
for
the
iron
fist
but
for
the
helping
hand
For
theirs
is
a
land
with
a
wall
around
it
And
mine
is
a
faith
in
my
fellow
man
Theirs
is
a
land
of
hope
and
glory
Mine
is
the
green
field
and
the
factory
floor
Theirs
are
the
skies
all
dark
with
bombers
And
mine
is
the
peace
we
knew
Between
the
wars
Call
up
the
craftsmen
Bring
me
the
draughtsmen
Build
me
a
path
from
cradle
to
grave
And
I'll
give
my
consent
To
any
government
That
does
not
deny
a
man
a
living
wage
Go
find
the
young
men
never
to
fight
again
Bring
up
the
banners
from
the
days
gone
by
Sweet
moderation
Heart
of
this
nation
Desert
us
not,
we
are
Between
the
wars
