There's no song for the singer
no words for the tune
there's a mess in the message
and a man in the moon
there's no plan in the planet
it's all gone beserk
there's a milk bottle shortage
and the traffic light don't work.
Lie down and be counted
don't take any more
Lie down and be counted
what are we standing for?

(But there's hope for the couples
who stroll in the park
there's Nuclear Power
to light up the dark
there's National Health
and ice in the fridge
and the occasional cow
on a motorway bridge.
There's extended credit
on easier terms
and something to kill
all known household germs.
There's sofas and armchairs
and washing machines
Stars on Sunday
fish fingers and beans.)

Lie down and be counted
don't take any more
Lie down and be counted
what are we standing for?
