Street fighting man, no
Hey think the time is right for valorious revolution
But where I live the game to play is compromise solution

| This is one of those songs that makes me want to run out of my house, turn over cars (with the help of others of course), push down old people (sorry grandpa), kick poodles in the face (take that!), and yell this song at the top of my lungs...... but of course, i could just kick back and appreciate what a great song this really is instead. | |

| I could not have picked a better song for the end of "V for Vendetta." It captures the feel (or at least the intended feel) of the film perfectly. Well done! | |

| I think Sympathy For The Devil would have been a better choice for V For Vendetta, given that V actually quotes the first line. | |

| Song was written after JAgger marched in Vietnam rally. Intresting note: This song was actually banned at a chicago vietnam rally for fear of causing a riot. Definitley a rally starting kind of song. | |

| The actual lyric is "kill the queen" and man, this was so written before the Brixton riots, etc. There's PLENTY for a "street fighting man" to do in London these days. | |

| I thought the king lyric was right. It's quite funny trying to imagine Mick Jagger as a street fighting man...now Keith Richards...thats another story! By the way: this song is great! | |
