Words Mick Hucknall Music Mick Hucknall & Fritz McIntyre
Come to my aid, you're sweet as everything
Come to my aid, I'd give you anything
I feel so betrayed by a people I love
Come to my aid, it's you I'm thinking of
Prouder than wild, sad enough to sing
Come to my aid and care for social living
Chorus:
Why are we liable to die for survival
Why is our nation divided?
Come to my aid (repeat)
In the poverty stakes see just what it means
When welfare decimates you'd better care
About your fellow people
Chorus:
Why are we liable to die for survival
Why is our nation divided?
Come to my aid (repeat)
