The Skeleton Army Stood up and fought
For a Worthing that grew from beneath
Against the control
Of outsiders who looked
On our lives with teetotal contempt
The Skeleton Army
Took the fight to the streets
Against fundamentalist mores
Against troops and police
Who truncheoned dissent
To the rule of the moneyed elite
The Skeleton Army
With its banners and pride
Was the raw living heart of this town
It will rise up anew
For it isn’t dead yet
Just lying asleep in our soul!
