Standards Songtext

von The Jam

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
