Songs I Love #11 The Redskins - Bring It Down


In light of todays strike action I had The Redskins Neither Washington Nor Moscow soundtrack my travels round the North East today. Missunderstood due to their appearance The Redskins delivered politically charged music that they described as The Supremes on speed, I can't argue with that! (It is a great great album)

It's funny that the last 2 posts in the thread seem as relevent now as they were twenty odd years ago....


You've never had it so good
The favourite phrase of those who've always had it better
Burn it up!
Realise the altogether
Bring it down
Burn together
The altogether's an insane thing, insane thing
Bring it down
All together
The altogether's an insane thing, insane thing
You've never had it so good
The favourite phrase of those who've always had it better
You never had so much is the cry
Of those who've always had much more, much more than you & I
Burn brother burn
Fight together
This altogether's an insane thing, insane thing
Bring it down
All together
The altogether's an insane thing, insane thing
Burn
Insane thing, insane thing
Insane thing, insane thing
Burn brother burn
Let's burn Together
Burn brother burn
Burn, burn, burn
This insane thing, insane thing
Burn brother burn
Burn sister burn
Spurn the lie
They use to justify
This insanity!
The inhumanity!
Of this insane thing
Burn brother burn
Burn, burn, burn
Some's got it easy
Bring it down
The altogether
Keeps getting better for the few
Who've got it good to start with ...
