The Guilts
I met a well-fed face from a hungry past,
He was honest and angry when I saw him last.
I said 'It's oh so good to see a friend like you,
After so long and what we've all been through.'
He said 'For me now things just couldn't be better.
Cos you know I've always been a real go- getter,
I've fought my way to the top of my pile,
No guilty conscience ever cramped my style.
Those guilts, those guilts, they can't hurt me,
The guilts, the guilts they can't hurt me,
My heart's as hard as hard can be,
Well I just don't care,
Don't give me those guilts, those guilts they can't hurt me,
The guilts, the guilts they can't hurt me,
I fought my way to the top of my tree,
And I'm gonna stay right there', he said,
'I'm gonna stay right there.'
He said, 'I can remember when we sang those songs
Of working-class struggle, they were such good fun,
But times were changing and I'd soon had enough
Of that old Joe Hill and all that left-wing stuff.
So while you sat around blowing bad harmonica,
I made money as a right-wing scavenger,
I closed my eyes to the poor and oppressed,

If I couldn't make a profit, then f couldn't care less.'
He said 'I bet you never though I'd get this far,
With my brand new suit and my big flash car.
But I can tell by your frowns and your plain soft talk
We were horse and carriage now we're cheese and chalk.
You can keep your pity and your cool compassion,
Cos I'm sorry to say that it's out of fashion,
This is the age of the self-made man,
Do unto others before others can.'
He said 'Shake my hand and agree to differ,'
I said 'Some day you'll come a cropper,
I'll turn away from your heart-felt pleas,
And I'll remember what you said to me.
And those' guilts, those guilts, they won't hurt me,
The guilts, the guilts they won't hurt me,
My heart will be hard as hard can be.
And I just won't care,
I tell you those guilts, those guilts they won't hurt me,
The guilts, the guilts they won't hurt me,
They'll chop you down from the top of your tree,
I only hope I'm there' I said,
'I only hope I'm there.'
