about

My political song on the CD and son of 'Believe' from 'Reel Ale'. The chorus is based on Aragorn's speech at the black gate of Mordor (from the film, not the book, I had to get a Tolkien influence in there somewhere!) The rest is my usual lefty-green railing against growth & profit being put ahead of quality of life.

lyrics

Revolution calling on the city streets we're punished for a crime that we didn't commit
We put our faith in promises they'll never keep We're holding out for answers that just don't fit

It's not like what we're asking for is so unfair, when the change we're looking for is you
Could you face someone from another world and try and justify your point of view?

some hide in religion abandon free will but I don't want to have to run to stand still

the skies are black the city burns, it's time to turn and make a stand
Cos I know lies when I hear your words and I can tell magic from sleight of hand

some hide in the past some fall for the spin but I don't want to have to cheat to win

A cancerous growth, is all we're told we need but how can we cure it with the politics of greed

So hold your ground, hold your ground
A day will come when courage fails One day we'll walk away
A day will come when it all crashes down
So hold your ground, hold your ground
One day we'll leave without a sound one day forsake our friends
One day they'll get it all their way We'll give up in the end

Oh no, no not again I can't believe it's true, You'd think by now we'd let the light shine through

So hold your ground, hold your ground
A day will come when courage fails One day we'll walk away
A day will come when it all crashes down
So hold your ground, hold your ground
One day we'll leave without a sound one day forsake our friends
One day they'll get it all their way We'll give up in the end
But not this day But not this day But not this day
