Tell me true
Tell me, why was Jesus crucified?
Was it for this that Daddy died?

Was it for you? Was it me?
Did I watch too much TV?

Being so good at building ships
The yards would still be open on the Clyde

And it can't be much fun for them
Beneath the rising Sun
With all their kids committing suicide

Maggie, what have we done?
What have we done
To England?

Should we shout? Should we scream?
What happened to the post-war dream?
Oh, Maggie
Maggie, what did we do?
