They welcomed everyone who walked through the door
Worked with an open mind
Had no time to make enemies
Made sure no one was left behind
They worked so hard for the oh so rich
For the very poor
Helped served all our grandparents
Who fought in all the wars
They did it with a big ole smile
While they told a little white lie
As they held us in their arms at night
Until we felt safe inside
Because all they wanna know
Is you'll be alright
With a smile and a cup of tea
To know they've the best they can
Treated you like family
No I don't wanna be around
When the NHS dies
I've got too many memories
Of them saving my life
No I don't wanna be around
When the NHS dies
Because when there's nothing left
How can we hold our heads up high
High, hold our heads up high
They worked hard in the red
While they took the cuts made in blue
Stood up for our human rights
In spite of all the suits
It was never about the greed
To claim every expense
It was all about the healthcare
With kindness and common sense
It was never about the money
Only the richness in their hearts
Weren't part of the old boys club
Which sets these souls apart
So we need to protect these angels in blue
And these guardians dressed in white
Because in a growing world of darkness
They will always be a shining light
No I don't wanna be around
When the NHS dies
I've got too many memories
Of them saving my life
No I don't wanna be around
When the NHS dies
Because when there's nothing left
How can we hold our heads up high
High, hold our heads up high
Tell me why oh why do we let the NHS die, oh why...
Tell me why oh why do we let the NHS die, oh why...
We watch it bleed and then we hang it out to dry...
We watch it bleed and then we hand it out to dry...
WHOA... YEAH....
No I don't wanna be around
When the NHS dies
I've got too many memories
Of them waving goodbye
No I don't wanna be around
When the NHS dies
Because when there's nothing left
Tell me who's going to save our lives...
