IAN STUART & ROUGH JUSTICE: "Justice for the Cottbus six"

 

CAN'T SPARE YOU THE TIME

Once upon a time, in a land so true
The land of milk and honey, for me and you
Now you're just another figure in a long long line
And then they wonder why, there's a rising rate of crime, they say...

(chorus)
Can't spare you the time
I'm busy can't you see?
Can't spare you the time
You're just another beggar to me

All of the good times, have been and gone
Life's just a struggle, yeah to carry on
They got all the money, but they won't create no jobs
They're bringing in poverty, and giving money to the cops, they say...

(chorus)

PRESSURE

I know that your world and my world don't seem to mix
We've both got different ways of getting our kicks
My way is flying the flag and backing down to nobody
Your way is making up lies, and telling your stories

(chorus)
You give us so much pressure
You're trying to bring us down
You give us so much pressure
But we ain't gonna get out of town

Lies, lies, lies, you never seem to tell the truth
I've never seen so much rubbish and it's written by you
You call yourselves the Gentlemen of the Press
Well who are your bosses? Well I can take damn good guess

(chorus)

The time is gonna come when you have to account for your lies
Whether you tell the truth must depend on the price
You ruin somebody's life and then it's back to the bar
Nothing else matters but expenses and your company car

(chorus)

EARLY WARNING SIGN

Our backs once more, against the wall
Survive we will
It's all been planned, a dying land
We'll fight and kill

(chorus)
It's an early warning sign
It's an early warning sign
It's an early warning sign
Yes it is

Don't start to push, we've had enough
You're not our boss
Control the masses, but weren't not that
We're not brainwashed

(chorus)

instrumental break

(chorus)

Do you believe, the lies they preach
On their TV and papers?
Well if you do, then you're no use
'Cos they're just trying to shape us

Well we are free, spiritually
Although our land's imprisoned
Their so-called law, is just a whore
That warrants our derision

(chorus)

HAVING A GOOD TIME

It's Saturday evening, out to the bar
I'm crowded in with all my friends
Gonna sink a jar or two

We ain't like commies, we've got smiles on our faces
They never smile, they never laugh
They've got the troubles of the human race on their shoulders

(chorus)

But we're having a good time
Living life on the line, yeah
Having a good time
And I feel fine

Look over there it's a lefty, sitting with his red star on
We all stand up, we have a laugh, it's obvious his mind has gone
He says that every man's an equal, and he says, every man's the same
Yeah but one man's rich, and another's poor, well life's a funny game, ain't it Trotsky?

(chorus)

instrumental break

(chorus)

We're being followed 'round by policemen, they must have nothing better to do
And out there there's muggers robbing the old, but they'd rather follow me and you
They don't wanna damage relations between our country and its unwanted guests
They're just looking after minorities, and they don't give a toss for the rest, no they don't, but...

(chorus) to fade

DON'T TRY IT

Sweet child, bad city, once upon a time
Prostitution, poverty, and a never-ending rate of crime
Corrupt police, in it for the money, never a thought of the truth
We were warned a long time ago but it didn't seem to do much use

(chorus)
Don't try it 'cos I now what you're doing
Don't try it 'cos I know your game
Don't try it, all your two-faced lying
Don't try it, 'cos we know your name

Evil men in an office, pretty in their ties and shirts
All you touch turns to corruption, King Midas' touch in reverse
It's what you always said that you would be doing, while we slumbered on
Anyone who stood in your book of evil, would fight before the chance has gone

(chorus)

JUSTICE FOR THE COTTBUS SIX

(chorus)
And the people call for justice, justice
And none of your dirty little tricks
Yeah the people shout for justice, justice
And that means freedom for the Cottbus Six

Within four evil walls, accused of a crime
But all they've done is be in the wrong place at the wrong time
Doing all that we can do to free the innocent
But our hands are bound by the lying Press, and the corrupt governments

(chorus)

Six young lives are wasting, scapegoats for the powers that be
Sacrificed to the One-World men and their immigration policy
Tell you now when it's your plan to try and bring us down
Your corrupt plans will tumble, 'cos we'll always be around

(chorus)

Arrested by the remnants, of a communist regime
Corruption in high places, is still around it seems
And six young men are rotting, in a dungeon that's still Red
One day the truth will break on through, and the chains will all be shed

(chorus) x2
