Robert W Service - The Silent OnesRobert W Service - The Silent Ones
Work rating: Low


I`m just an ordinary chap      Who comes home to his tea, And mostly I don`t care a rap      What people think of me; I do my job and take my pay,      And love of peace expound; But as I go my patient way,      —Don`t push me round.       Though I respect authority      And order never flout, When Law and Justice disagree      You can include me out. The Welfare State I tolerate      If it is kept in bound, But if you wish to rouse my hate      —Just push me round. And that`s the way with lots of us:      We want to feel we`re free; So labour governments we cuss      And mock at monarchy. Yea, we are men of secret mirth,      And fury seldom sound; But if you value peace on earth      —Don`t push us round.
