While I was researching May Day, I came across some alternative lyrics to the Red Flag mocking the neoliberal turn of Labour: :UK-cool: :capitalist-woke:
New Labour's flag is palest pink
It's not as red as you might think
And Tony's added shades of blue
He does not care for me and you
The people's flag is palest pink
Best drop it now before we stink
I rather like the Tory Blue
And Cam'ron's policies – I'll have them too.
Now ditch we all that old red flower
Anything to cling to power
The working class can kiss my arse
It's Gord I worship, first and last
and also:
The people's flag is palest pink
It's not the colour you might think
White collar workers stand and cheer
The Labour government is here
We'll change the country bit by bit
So nobody will notice it
And just to show that we're sincere
We'll sing The Red Flag once a year
The cloth cap and the woollen scarf
Are images outdated
For we're the party's avant garde
And we are educated
So raise the rolled umbrella high
The college scarf, the old school tie
And just to show that we're sincere
We'll sing The Red Flag once a year.
