Now is the Time for an Iron Hand Lyrics by McCarthy

Banking, Violence and the Inner Life Today

1990

[Verse]
Those who would rule before us wanted to be kind
And to turn the other cheek
That was all very well, but what did it achieve?
Our enemy's strength has increased
[Chorus]
Now's the time for an iron hand
Nothing else will stop them now
It's time for an iron hand
We have gone softly for too long
[Verse]
Once England was a place to bring up children in
We could call this country our own
But we let the queers out of the closet and then
Oh, the rot really set in
[Chorus]
Now's the time for an iron hand
Oh, what else will stop them now?
It's time for an iron hand
We have gone softly for too long
[Chorus]
Now's the time for an iron hand
Oh, what else will stop them now?
It's time for an iron hand
We have gone softly for too long
[Verse]
Liberals ridicule us with more heat than brain
We don't care what they say
Their day has gone by and never forget
We have got the power in our hands
[Chorus]
Now's the time for an iron hand
Nothing else will stop them now
It's time for an iron hand
We have gone softly for too long
