"But surely, mother, Scotchmen will never remain in such a state of shameful servitude!""I trust not, my son; but I fear that it will be long before we shake off the English yoke. Our nobles are for the most part of Norman blood; very many are barons of England; and so great are the jealousies among them that no general effort against England will be possible. No, if Scotland is ever to be freed, it will be by a mighty rising of the common people"

Not an activist by any means... but this is an important song, Watch it ya bunch of Bastards, cause push us enough and we will fuckin have ye !!!

Protest Songs

A different kind of lovesong indeed, filled with a fiery sense of justice. I don't believe in 'good swords', but this is a beautiful tribute to the spirit of revolution.I come like a comet new bornLike the sun that arises at morningI come like the furious tempestThat follows a thundercloud's warningI come like the fiery lavaFrom cloud-covered mountains volcanicI come like a storm from the northThat the oceans awake to in panicI come because tyranny plantedMy seed in the hot desert sandI come because masters have kindledMy fury with every commandI come because man cannot murderThe life-giving seed in his veinsI come because liberty cannotForever be fettered by chainsI come because tyrants imagineThat mankind is only their throneI come because peace has been nourishedBy bullets and cannon aloneI come because one world is twoAnd we face one another with rageI come because guards have been postedTo keep out the hope of the ageFrom earliest times the oppressedHave awaked me and called me to lead themI guided them out of enslavementAnd brought them to high roads of freedomI marched at the head of their legionsAnd hailed a new world at its birthAnd now I shall march with the peoplesUntil they unfetter the earthAnd you, all you sanctified moneybagsBandits anointed and crownedYour counterfeit towers of justiceAnd ethics will crash to the groundI'll send my good sword through your heartsThat have drained the world's blood in their lustSmash all your crowns and your sceptresAnd trample them into the dustI'll rip off your rich purple garmentsAnd tear them to rags and to shredsNever again will their glitterBe able to turn people's headsAt last your cold world will be robbed ofIt's proud hypocritical glowFor we shall dissolve it as surelyAs sunlight dissolves the deep snowI'll tear down your cobweb moralityShatter the old chain of liesCatch all your blackhooded preachersAnd choke them as though they were fliesI'll put a quick end to your heavensYour gods that are deaf to all prayerScatter your futile old spiritsAnd clean up the earth and the airAnd though you may choke me and shoot meAnd hang me your toil is in vainNo dungeon, no gallows can scare meNor will I be frightened by painEach time I'll arise from the earthAnd break through all your weapons of doomUntil you are finished foreverUntil you are dust in the tomb

This song almost takes my breath away. History's locomotive indeed!

It would be great if the Jefferson Airplane were to temporarily reassemble and do a cover of this. Just imagine Grace Slick and Marty Balin dueling on the lead vocals.

Who's singing backing vocals on this?
