lyrics

The people’s minds are full of rot
Haven’t got the space for thought
They do exactly as they’re told
And all they think about is what’s being sold
Capitalisms propaganda
Based, as it is, on supply and demand
Conflicting messages all the time
The adverts tell you that all is fine
The big men say lets tighten our belts
Lest we forget we’re all in debt

Brainwashing head filling
Constant drilling, the brain cell killing
Filling the head with made up need
Fund the wars and fund the greed
I hope the day it soon will come
When all these lies and adverts will be done

We’re out of money for the schools
Sorry, but the banks have different rules
There is no end to the money making
To fix the mess are taxes taken
Whatever they ask for give it them all
Just incase the markets fall

In times of need we’re all in it together
Let the poor man carry the rich man’s feather
We hope the load won’t be too great
But the markets set the interest rate
If we bail them out then they might be kind
Or maybe they’ll be nasty this time

Words by Joe Campbell-McArdle
Written, arranged and performed by Lonesome George + Ben Mackenzie

A delightful and well crafted album, and one of my top favorites. "When You're Gone I Say Your Name" is so beautiful, it just makes me pick up my concertina. Definitely music goals. :) MC

The ensemble of the instrumental songs is beautiful, and the sonorous male vocals are also good. He feels the history of settlement and immigration from Ireland to Appalachia. iwamo
