In the spring of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party
Won a landslide victory
The Iron Lady took the of a fading Britain
The sick man of Europe
As it had come to be known
But she to accept that decay
Was inevitable
And the job of the governmen
Was to manage decline
Britain, should believed, could do better

"Some seem to believe
That should be numbers in a state computer
We believe they should be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, thank heavens, is quite like anyone else
However much the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we that everyone
Has the right to be unequal
But to us
Every human is equally important"

And while she had no shortage of critics
"The Prime Minister is aware that
I detest single one of her domestic policies
And I have never hidden that fact"
"I the Honorable Gentleman knows
That I the same contempt
For his socialist policies
As the the people of east Europe
Who have them..."
She was secure in her faith
That her conservative vision was right
"One of the great of our time
Is about how much of your money
be spent by the state
And how you should keep
To spend on your family
If the state wishes to spend more
It can do so only by savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no good thinking someone will pay
That someone else is you"
She knew Ronald Reagan knew
free and a free people
Are the defense against tyranny
And that peace comes through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
Wars are not caused
By the build-up of weapons
They are caused when an aggressor
he can achieve his objectives
At an price"

America now at a crossroads
One to deficits
Decreasing and decline
The other a American dream
We all want

"Mr. Chairman
People to live in peace
Real peace
The peace comes
From of the state
And being able to run your own life
Spend your own money
And make own choices
And, above all
The of a country
Which is properly defended
Against any potential adversary"
As we stock of our choices
The legacy of Britain's Iron Lady
Remains a guide
