littlejohn feat: prive

oldrottenhead

i posted a solo version of this song earlier, with just me on the juno. but on the day before i wrote and recorded it, i had been speaking to an old collaborator marcello prive from argentina and he said send me something anything, so when i recorded this i sent a copy to marcello. my socks where blown off when i got this back in my mail.

here are the words for anyone interested

this righteous bent
to twist the facts
your right to speak
and fuel the flames

oh this hankering
for the good old days
when you could call a spade a spade
and close your eyes

would you go back
use words that cut
dehumanized
and fueled the flames

the world’s gone mad
well so you say
let’s just call a spade a spade
and close our eyes

well littlejohn
we’ve all moved on

today we treat each other with some respect
these days we choose our words more thoughtfully

i’d rather be
politically
correct
than filled with hate
it’s you that’s mad
with what you say
when you call a spade a spade
and close your eyes

well littlejohn
we’ve all moved on

today we treat each other with some respect
these days we choose our words more thoughtfully
a man’s a man for all that
we’re all jack tamson’s bairns
