OLD CLASH FAN FIGHT SONG - BILLY BRAGG ====================================== Not sure if this is 100% right (especially the chorus) transcribed from seeing him Youtube footage and a live recording of the song. Lyrics come from a live boot so may from other times he’s played it.  Any comments welcome Listen to the song (obviously) to get the right timing. I’ve got a mate who lives in Vermont He couldn’t find the music he wanted Sick and tired of the corporation He went and started his own radio station Now he’s on the air each day Telling folks about a different way Plays Billy Bragg and a bit of Green Day And ’I’m So Bored With The U.S.A.’ Woah-oh-oh-oh People are on the move Woah-oh-oh-oh People got a lot to prove I’ve got a buddy who delivers the post Up and down the North-East Coast When the Clash came to town He’d never miss them He still wants to bust the system But he has to go to work That doesn’t make him some kind of jerk Put food on the table you know how that feels It doesn’t mean he’s lost his ideals Woah-oh-oh-oh People are moving on Woah-oh-oh-oh George Bush will soon be gone The Clampdown is still coming down hard Police and Thieves are all over my yard But these heavy manners don’t worry me Cos I’m a heavier dude than I used to be Woah-oh-oh-oh People are moving on Woah-oh-oh-oh George Bush will soon be gone Co-operation not competition Co-operation is not sedition [Play outro like ’Remote Control’ by The Clash]:

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le parcours de personnes qui cherchent à échapper à la monotonie et aux contraintes du système. Les protagonistes témoignent de leur passion pour la musique en s'engageant dans des initiatives locales, comme la création d'une station de radio, tout en jonglant avec leur quotidien. Ils se rappellent des concerts inoubliables de leurs groupes préférés et affirment leur désir de changement face à l'autorité et aux difficultés du monde moderne. Le refrain met en avant un sentiment d'espoir et de solidarité, avec l'idée que, même dans les moments difficiles, un avenir meilleur est possible.
