Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Who needs remote control?
From the Civic Hall.
Push a button...
Activate...
You gotta work... you're late!

It's so grey in London town,
Panda car rollin' around.
Here it comes...
Eleven o'clock...
Where can we go now?

Chorus 1:
Can't make no noise,
Can't get no gear,
Can't make no money,
Can't get outta here.

Big business it don't like you,
Don't like the things you do.
You got no money...
So you got no power...
They think you're useless...
So you are, punk!

Verse 2:
They had a meeting in Mayfair,
They got you down an' wanna keep you there.
It makes them worried...
Their bank account...
It's all that matter...
You don't count!

Chorus 2:
Can't make no progress,
Can't get ahead,
Can't stop the regress,
Don't wanna be dead!

Bridge:
Look out, those rules and regulations!

Verse 3:
Who needs the Parliament?
Sitting making laws all day.
They're all...
Fat and old...
Queuing for the House of Lords.

Repression Part:
Repression, gonna start on Tuesday.
Repression, gonna be a Dalek.
Repression, I am a robot.
Repression, I obey!
