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
