CAN YOU SEE OUR REASON WHY
Stanley
Can you see our reason why
We are an angry bunch of guys?
We’re fed up with politicians
Who just tell a bunch of lies!
In our heart we know we’re right
When we are dealing with those bums
Which is the reason we will fight
When the right time comes!
Colin
Who will join our merry band?
How many unions think as we?
There are those throughout the land
Who want to join us, wait and see!
Norman
So march with us now
In a bid to show how you agree!
All
Can you see our reason why
We are an angry bunch of guys?
We are fed up with politicians
Who feed us a bunch of lies!
In our heart we know we’re right
In our heart we know we’re right
When we are dealing with those bums
Which is the reason we will fight
When the right time comes!
Fred
Will you down your tools and strike
And bring your banners on the day?
There’s a chance it may be raining
But we’ll do it anyway!
We’ll do what it will take
For better conditions and pay!
All
Can you see our reason why
We are an angry bunch of guys?
We are fed up with politicians
Who feed us a bunch of lies!
In our heart we know we’re right
In our heart we know we’re right
When we are dealing with those bums
Which is the reason we will fight
When the right time comes
Stanley
Can you see our reason why
We are an angry bunch of guys?

Who just tell a bunch of lies!
In our heart we know we’re right
When we are dealing with those bums
Which is the reason we will fight
When the right time comes!

My favorite song from Les Mis. Excellent adaptation to a modern grievance situation. The disgust with lying politicians certainly resonates with me. It would be nice if you could consolidate your parodies into a site where they could be viewed in the same order as the original musical.
