lyrics
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.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman

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

🍻 I'm speechless. I can't even pronounce the guy's name (I'm working on that 🤣🤣), let alone comment on how brilliant his playing is. Not only that, but the physical album is the most substantial CD case and booklet I've ever held, outside of an OH MY GIRL album. Yes, I'm proud of myself for referencing k-pop while commenting on an Irish trad record. Anyone searching for tenor banjo on BC could stop here and be entirely fulfilled, although I encourage you to search for others as well. ⚡🔥🪕🔥⚡ acmochi
