Listening Notes

Why are there no boy bands anymore? Why are there no protest songs anymore? We felt the need to fill the gap in the media landscape by making a transformation, for a month or so.

Words

To the ones that are doing the best they can 

With what they’ve got  

Keep on going, you’re doing grand

I salute you a lot 

But to the the ones that are sitting on top of the hill

I love you not

Now it’s too late to close your gates

‘Cos the streets are hot

All my boys and girls around the world

Rise up

Rise up

As I watch you scale the heights and fail 

To be fulfilled

In your golden can you’ll stew like beans 

‘Cos you can’t grow gills,

You’ll look down and see the people free

With pitchforks raised,

And your greedy hands will run through sand

As your beauty fades

All my boys and girls around the world

Rise up

Rise up

All you women and men, Mary, Jane and Ben

Rise up 

Rise up

Get up on your feet, Sydd, Ted and Pete

Rise up Rise up

And all you Rock ‘n’ Roll bands across the land

Rise up 

Rise up

Here we go….
