about

I wrote this one in 2017 - I know that because I'd have loved to put it on our debut album - Protest is becoming a crime! -

lyrics

You may look at demonstrators
Think of them as trouble makers
Their only interest, break the law
But, I’ll Tip my hat to the agitators
tip my hat to the protesters
Saboteurs and those that heed the call
The activists, the socialists the non-conforming maverick’s
Firebrands, militant, the civil disobedient
The square pegs in the round holes
The atheist in the foxhole
The ones that put two fingers up the ones that just don’t give a fuck
Stubborn and inflexible, rebellious intractable
Its people just like you and me that change the course of history
I take take my hat off to them all…
cos silence is acceptance after all
The suffragettes, antifa , PETA and trade unionists,
Communist, anarchist, pacifists that fought the fascist
Non-compliant mutineers, feminist pioneers
Heretics, malcontent, fly in the ointment
Spanner in the works
Young Turks
Ones that buck the trend
Never buckle, never bend
The risk takers, rule breakers
Greenham ladies rainbow warriors
Resistance on Cable Street
The ones that put two fingers up the ones that just don’t give a fuck
Stubborn and inflexible, rebellious intractable
It’s the Unrelenting visionaries that change the course of history
I’ll take my hat off to them all
cos silence is acceptance
The punks and the poets the stick in the mud
The ones that dig their heels in - Misunderstood
So upset the applecart fuck the status quo
Rock the boat, make some waves
Agitate provoke ….
The punks and the poets, the stick in the mud
Ones that dig their heels in - Misunderstood
So upset the applecart fuck the status quo
Rock the boat, make some waves
Agitate provoke
Educate and organise, agitate provoke.
