Stand Down Margaret

Lyrics

I see no joy

I see only sorry

I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow

So stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Well how can we live in this all white law

What a short sharp lesson

What a third world war

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

I see no joy

I see only sorry

I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret

Stand down Margaret, stand down please

Stand down Margaret
