No power without accountability By Billy Bragg Intro Em A D Em Verse 1

^EmI grew up, ^Ain a company town And I ^Emwork a' hard til' the company closed down ^EmThey g^Aave my job, to another man On half ^Emmy wages in some foreign land And wh^Aen I asked,^Em how could that be, any good for our economy, I was ^Atold, nobody ^Emcared, so long as they make money and they sell their shares

Chorus

^EmCan you ^Ahear us, are you listening ^EmThere's no^A power without accountability

Verse 2

^EmI lost^A my job, my car and my house ^EmWhen 1^A0,000 miles away some guy clicked on a mouse ^EmHe didn'^At know me, we never spoke ^EmHe didn'^At ask my opinion or canvas for my vote ^EmI guess it's true, No^Abody cares until them petrol bombs come spinning through the air ^EmGotta find a way to hold ^Athem to^Em account before they find a way to snuff our voices out

Chorus Verse 3

^EmThe ballot b^Aox is no garruntee, but we achieve democracy Our lead^Emers claim their victory When o^Anly half the people've spoken There ^Emis no job security, And this global economy ^EmOur border^As closed to refugees Our ma^Emrkets forced to open ^EmWorld ba^Anks is to Mexico Well Crust H^Emoff if you don't keep them taxes low

chorus

^EmThey have ^Ano right to wield that sword They tak^Eme orders from generals abroad ^EmI am F, WT^AO I hear these words just to give the cops a go, Who are ^Emthose people, who elected them ^EmAnd Why ^Ado I re^Empeat them with some of my friends
