lyrics

You broke my heart and now you're gone
It felt like I was living on the sun
The cops said you'd joined National Action
Thrown your arms around a right-wing faction, yeah

National Action, what were you thinking?
I can only put it down to your drinking
But it's all good, you set me free
Found my myself a brand new friend and she's more left-wing than me

I'm off to protest with the students
They usually end up on the right side
Class myself as an observer
If it all kicks off I'll step aside, hide

National Action, what were you thinking?
I can only put it down to your drinking
But it's all good, you set me free
Found my myself a brand new friend and she's more left-wing than me

National Action, what were you thinking?
I can only put it down to your drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking
National Action, what were you thinking?
I can only put it down to your drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking
National Action, what were you thinking?
I can only put it down to your drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking
National Action, what were you thinking?
I can only put it down to your drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking
