Madness Lyrics for Song: Clerkenwell Polka
 Lyrics for Album: The Liberty of Norton Folgate [2009]
 
 
 
 7584>I request that the best of our minds
 
 Be impressed to repent of their crimes
 
 For the truth is there all for to see
 
 What can be said in defence of man's tyranny
 
 
 
 To declare to contempt of the view
 
 That to conform to the norm is what you do
 
 If you live wracked in anger and in shame
 
 The only road you find's that hard road my friend
 
 
 
 I concur to defer to the sound
 
 Of discontent when it's meant by the crowd
 
 If in fairness is how you see it end
 
 The only road you'll walk's that hard road my friend
 
 
 
 And the papers they were printing they did sell
 
 In Clerkenwell there were presses turning
 
 And the emigrees they boarded ships and sailed
 
 They could not fail to bring passions burning
 
 La da da da-da
 
 
 
 Why deny that the lie that is sent
 
 Makes you live work and die for some rent
 
 If you're happy then to leave it up to them
 
 The only road you'll know's that hard road my friend
 
 
 
 We resent the intent of the few
 
 Who do conspire to acquire what's our due
 
 If you don't know you're rights and defend
 
 The only road you'll goes that hard road my friend
 
 
 
 If you fall and you crawl towards debt
 
 And the sum it is more than what was leant
 
 If you can't keep your eyes on the change
 
 The only road you'll walk's that bloody road my friend
 
 
 
 Ah yip da didi didi dee
 
 Ah yip da didi didi dee
 
 Ah yip da didi didi dee
 
 Ah yip da didi didi dee
