[Historical Note: pleased to report this was sung (it has a tune too) at Greenham Common, along with many other songs of course.]
we've all heard about the women of Greenham
boy O boy you should've seen 'em
dance on the silos
block the gates
dance on the silos
surround the base
when they protested War must cease
they were arrested for a breach of the peace
I said A BREACH OF THE PEACE
yeah A BREACH OF THE PEACE
that's what it's called by the police
when you
dance on the silos/ block the gates/ dance on the silos/ surround the base
so stay calm obey the Law
there's no harm in a Nuclear War
now some among us may suspect
it ain't freedom of speech those Bombs protect
they
dance on the silos/ block the gates/ dance on the silos/ surround the base
I guess they're trying to tell us straight
it's no damned good to sit & wait
don't say touch wood or Fate is Fate
one day soon it will be too late
if we don't do something mighty quick
we could be feeling more than slightly sick
we can't live much longer in fear & hate
so
dance on the silos
block the gates
TOGETHER WE'RE STRONGER THAN THE STATE
TOGETHER WE'RE STRONGER THAN THE STATE
dance on the silos/ block the gates/ dance on the silos/ surround the base
