This is our future and it starts with a C
It stands for care in the community
And I've got you to care for me
So I can care for you
The north and south are divided no more
So you and I can be equally poor
And all the things I love you for
Won't pay for food and gas
And flattery will get you nowhere fast
What we need is a roof overhead
And old settee and a room with a bed
And old TV to feed your head
With news and films and soap
Maybe then we can try for a child
The news at 10 with a beautiful smile
A boy or girl to save the world
With peace and love for you
And peace and love
Will get you nowhere too
And I know that it won't be you
And you know it won't be me
This is the future and it starts with a C
It stands for care in the community
And I've got you to care for me
So I can care for you
The north and south are divided no more
So you and I can be equally poor
And all the things that I adore
Won't pay for food and gas
And flattery will get you nowhere fast
