Standards (Live At The 100 Club, London / 1977)
We make the standards and we make the rules
And if you don't abide by them you must be a fool
We have the power to control the whole land
You never must question our motives or plans
Outlaw your voices, do anything we want
We've nothing to fear from the nation
We'll kick you out of your houses if you get too much
If we have to we'll destroy your generation
We've built up a frontage and we've gained respect
There's no one to endanger our position
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
And we don't like people who stand in our way
Awareness is gonna be redundant
And ignorance is strength, we have God on our side
Look, you know what happened to Winston
We make the standards and we make the rules
And if you don't abide by them you must be a fool
We have the power to control the whole land
You never must question our motives or plans
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
And if you don't abide by them you must be a fool
We have the power to control the whole land
You never must question our motives or plans
Outlaw your voices, do anything we want
We've nothing to fear from the nation
We'll kick you out of your houses if you get too much
If we have to we'll destroy your generation
We've built up a frontage and we've gained respect
There's no one to endanger our position
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
And we don't like people who stand in our way
Awareness is gonna be redundant
And ignorance is strength, we have God on our side
Look, you know what happened to Winston
We make the standards and we make the rules
And if you don't abide by them you must be a fool
We have the power to control the whole land
You never must question our motives or plans
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
Standards rule okay
