where are you now
broken up or still around
he CIA says you’re a guilty man
will we see the likes of you again
can anyone make a difference anymore
can anyone write a protest song
pinky, lefty revolutionary
Burnt at the stake for?
Chorus-
G A D Em
A voice so pure, a vision so clear
G A
I gotta learn to live like you
A
Learn to sing like you, ooohh!
Verse- (Guitaring same as last verse)
Went to cuba to meet castro
Never got past sleepy Moscow
A giant man with a heavenly voice
MK ultra turns you paranoid
No passport till 1958
Mcartney poisoned through with hate
Liberty lost still burned today
Beneath the lie of the USA
Chorus
(Funny part with the and his stupid voice)
verse
sing it loud, sing it proud
it will be heard I will be found
Happy Strumming

| I assumed the line about Cuba was a reference to the Manics' visit to Cuba a few years back. Don't quite understand the part about Moscow, though, I don't know if it's supposed to be figurative rather than literal (Moscow, obviously, representing Russian Communism - or Stalinism, to be precise). Good song, particularly the snipe at McCarthyism and 'the lie of the USA.' | |

| It's about Paul Robeson internationally, famous actor and singer. he was a political activist on behalf of oppressed peoples for nearly fifty years. But the 'Went to Cuba to meet Castro' has nothing to do with robeson | |

| "Sing it loud, sing it proud I will be heard, I will be found Sing it loud, sing it proud I will be heard, I will be found" Those lines send shivers down my spine, especially when hearing this song live. Absolutely fantastic. It's sad, if it wasn't for this song I probably wouldn't have heard about Paul Robeson. He has such an amazing story! | |
