Luyện nghe bài hát The Truth Famine

A red letter day for our nowhere town
A minister's heading this way - closing us down
But of my daughter - and what of my son
Just how they live when the factory's gone?

Election day now null and void
They'll never 'til we're all unemployed
UB40's a book that you'll find hard to put down
The dormant machinery - taunting the skies
Ghosts of the Halcyon dream sustaining our
No job for my - no job for my son
How can I forgive for what they have done?

New statesmen composing the for tomorrow's front page
What pays for the blunders make - it's the working mans wage.

Election day promises now and void
They'll never 'til we're all unemployed
a book that you'll find very hard to put down
They've issued us all with free rose tinted
Job training - leisure management classes
No news is good you live on the wrong side of town.

The nadir of despair we have to is easy to gauge
Our children grow thinner and ever bitter with age.
From Newcastle's shipyards to pits
They strip down our and sell it in bits
Election day promises seemingly now and void
While microchip minds the industry grinding
We all hunt for jobs that we've no of finding
No change in the lives of the mass unemployed.

A red letter day for our industrial town
A minister's this way - he's closing us down
But what of my daughter - and of my son
how will they live when the factory's gone?

Election day promises now and void
They'll never rest 'til all unemployed
UB40's a book you'll find very hard to put down
issued us all with free rose tinted glasses
Job training schemes - management classes
No news is good when you on the wrong side of town.
