Gm

[Verse 1]
     Bb                                   Em            Eb
They say the working class is dead, we're all consumers now
     Bb                                  Em              Eb
They say that we have moved ahead, we're all just people now
        Bb                                      Em            Eb
There's people doing 'frightfully well' there's others on the shelf
     Bb                             Em            Eb
But never mind the second kind this is the age of self

Gm D Bb C

[Chorus]
        Gm                          D
And it seems to me if we forget our roots and where we stand
    Bb                               C
The movement will disintegrate like castles built on sand

[Verse 2]
     Bb                        Em                Eb
They say we need new images to help our movement grow
     Bb                                Em           Eb
They say that life is broader based as if we didn't know
      Bb                            Em                 Eb
While Martin J. and Robert Maxwell play with printer's ink
    Bb                                     Em        Eb
The workers 'round the world still die for Rio Tinto Zinc

Gm D Bb C

[Chorus]
        Gm                          D
And it seems to me if we forget our roots and where we stand
    Bb                               C                     Cm
The movement will disintegrate like castles built on sand
                 Gm
Castles built on sand
