The landlords put the fences up a long time ago They robbed us all as everybody knows But some things can’t be controlled Don’t mess with the standing stones Stonehenge is alive and strong It’s ain't no ancient ruin Don’t mess with the standing stones You don’t know what you’re doing Out of your concrete cities, out of your concrete minds Out of your control, a festival unwinds But some things can’t be controlled Don’t mess with the standing stones In summer nineteen eighty-five We came to keep Stonehenge alive Stick and stones can break our homes But they don’t know what they’re doing Where do you go in the summertime When the air is sweet and the sun is high Where’s the holiday you can take If you’re on the dole not on the make And we all know and they all know We never messed with the standing stones Stonehenge is free and won’t be owned It’s no dying ruin English Heritage go to hell You don’t know what you’re doing This time they went too far What fools the landed gentry are Stuff your razor wire down your throat And wash it down with a five pound note Stonehenge wont be controlled Don’t mess with the standing stones The police smash – the police break The police made a big mistake The power is ours for us to take And we know what we’re doing
