Do Something About It

from This Band Is Sick by Steve White & The Protest Family

/

lyrics

You might hate the Tories
They don't know what being poor is
And a band in our position
Also hates the coalition
We know if you were us
You'd say they're not fit for purpose
But you know what we're gonna say
Yeah you know what we're gonna say.......

What?

We've got to

Do something about it (Yeah we've got to)
Do something about it (It's time to)
Do something about it (C'mon let's)
Do something...........about it

You know that there's a war on
And you know that it's wrong
And we bet that you hate
The death of the welfare state
But you know what the worst is
The killing of the Health Service
But you know what we're gonna say
Yeah you know what we're gonna say.......

What?

We've got to

Do something about it (Yeah we've got to)
Do something about it (It's time to)
Do something about it (C'mon let's)
Do something...........about it

So before you ask the question
We're gonna make a suggestion

Talk to your neighbours, those closest to you
You never know they might feel like you do
Talk to them at work, talk to them at home
Talk face-to-face and talk on the phone
Send 'em an email, write a newsletter
Organise a meeting, that would be even better
Cos if you really want to have a revolution
Everybody needs to make a contribution

Talk to Attila, he'll tell you about Stalin
But don't talk to Cliff, he'll just tell you 'bout Hank Marvin
Talk to Thee Faction about GDH Cole
Talk to Chuck Berry but it's only Rock 'n' Roll
Talk to Billy Bragg, the activist
But David Rovics is a better anarchist
Cos if you really want to have a revolution
Everybody needs to make a contribution

Talk to your comrades in the SWP
Your brothers and sisters in the Labour Party
Stand shoulder to shoulder with the TUSC
Man the barricades with the CPGB
And don't forget the anarchists too
Cos they all want the same things as you
And if you really want to have a revolution
Everybody needs to make a contribution


So that's what we're gonna say
You've heard what we're gonna say
Yeah that's what we're gonna say.......

What?

We've got to

Do something about it (Yeah we've got to)
Do something about it (It's time to)
Do something about it (C'mon let's)
Do something.......do something......about it
