about

This is a protest song from the heart.

This ones for the lovers and the fighters, the doers and the makers, the dancers and the chancers... and for that wee rebellious divil inside all of us who says "fuck that, there IS a better way!!"

lyrics

No One But Ourselves

You can’t stop the world spinning round
That oil that is a-burnin’ shoulda left it in the ground
From Rojava to Lancashire and soon the whole world round
You can’t keep the good people down

You can’t keep the people from their rights
To speak their native language, to daily fight the fight
To have bodily autonomy - we need to see the light
You can’t keep the people from their rights

The roofs are bein’ tumbled, people sleepin’ in the streets
The 1% get richer we can just afford to eat
When the politicians say to you there’s nothing we can do
Maybe it was time we took some action
Some direct action
Some direct action

Cause it speaks louder than words
Maybe doin’ what we know is right
Is the best way to be heard
While they fuck about in parliament
We’ll be building our new world
And no one but ourselves is gonna do it for ourselves
No one but ourselves


We’re chokin’ on the air we breathe, there’s plastic in the sea
The vegetables are patented, you pay to plant the seeds
The rich are buildin’ bunkers so they can get away scot-free
The government does nothin’, money to be made you see
The education’s broken, the children are depressed
They’re trained to be obedient, not how to be their best
And when the politicians say to you there’s nothin’ we can do
Maybe it was time we took some action
Some direct action
Some direct action

Cause action gets the goods
And maybe if you hadda tried you woulda seen you could
Some things in life need to be felt to be truly understood
And no one but ourselves is gonna do it for ourselves
No one but ourselves
No one but ourselves

Human kinds potential is endless and unknown
If you give to each just what they need and let the light be shown
But to reach that stage of freedom there’s a movement to be grown
And no one but ourselves is gonna do it for ourselves.
