The song After Shelley is performed by Chumbawamba in the album named Readymades and Then Some in the year 2003 .
Anybody can press a button and blow up a ship
Anybody can use an atom bomb
Anybody can pick up a big whip, and whip you
Anybody can stick a knife into you
Anybody can pull a trigger
But where's the man with the character
As can take a punch on the nose and keep his temper
Keep control of himself?
[Incomprehensible]
The seed you sow, another reaps
The wealth you find, another keeps
The clothes you weave, another wears
The arms you forge, another bears
[Incomprehensible]
The songs you write, another sings
The heart you lose, another wins
The food you bake, another eats
Poison-laced and oh, so sweet
[Incomprehensible]
Rock and roll, check your pulse
Art or death, true or false
Can't stay young, can't grow old
Overpriced, undersold
