And the first commandment reads 
That human flesh and blood 
Is sacred 
Until there is no more food 

The break of day has come 
I see the cracks have just begun 
To line the walls 
Line the walls 
I want to see the little girls and boys 
Destroy their toys 
And line the walls 
Line the walls 

What a fate for little girls 
British boys' minds in a whirl 
Tell you things that'll make your curls 

Straighten out 
Straighten out 
Straighten out 
Straighten out 

For twenty years or more 
Just tell me what we're living for 
So tell me now 
Tell me now 
Frustrated intellect 
That government capitulation 
Follows now 
Follows now 

What a fate for little girls 
British boys' minds in a whirl 
Tell you things that'll make your curls 

Straighten out 
Straighten out 
Straighten out 
Straighten out 

The break of day has come 
I see the cracks have just begun 
To line the walls 
Line the walls 
I want to see the little girls and boys 
Destroy their toys 
And line the walls 
Line the walls 

What a fate for little girls 
British boys' minds in a whirl 
Tell you things that'll make your curls 

Straighten out 
Straighten out 
Straighten out 
Straighten out 

Straighten out 
Straighten out 
Straighten out 
Straighten out ...
