Luyện nghe bài hát The Truth Famine

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

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

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

day promises now null and void
They'll never rest 'til we're all
UB40's a book that find very hard to put down
They've issued us all free rose tinted glasses
Job training schemes - leisure management
No news is good when you live on the wrong of town.

The nadir of we have sunk to is easy to gauge
Our children grow thinner and ever bitter with age.
Newcastle's shipyards to Nottingham's 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 we've no chance of finding
No in the everyday lives of the mass unemployed.

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

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