[ Featuring Rob Cass ]
1968 - JUST THE BEGINNING
Everywhere it happened
Couldn't take the crap, no
When you push people too hard
In Paris and London, Detroit and Milano
The riots caught the right off their guard
Students and workers
Black & white
Getting together for the cause
The young and old
Dark & light
Trying to make the power pause
A year of protest, almost a success
Looking heart and mind for the peace
So close to their goal
Riding the big roll
Getting near the time of release
It's not just a fashion, just for a day
This cannot be rationed in anyway
It's not just a moment, flash in the pan
It's a real movement with its own plan
Now everywhere it started
The strands have parted
Can it really go to sleep?
Massification no pacification
Can't you hear the voices weep?
Losers and winners
Red & blue
Cost so many broken heads
The strong and weak
False & true
How can you still sleep in your bed?
In Paris and London, Watts and Berkeley
We can't let no one forget
Everywhere it broke out
Don't let it choke out
Please don't Harbour no regrets
It's not just a fashion, just for a day
This cannot be rationed in anyway
It's not just a moment, flash in the pan
It's a real movement with its own plan
Now everywhere is dreaming
Images and streaming
Has the future passed us by
Seems to be fading
Ghostly parading
You can't hear the battle cry
Movers and shakers
Greed & graft
Waste so many spaces now
The fallen and frail
Underclass
Still we keep on wondering how
In New York and Beijing
You just can't stop raging
We can't let nobody defect
Everywhere it blew up
Let's hope that it grew up
There's so much left to regret
It's not just a fashion, just for a day
This cannot be rationed in anyway
It's not just a moment, flash in the pan
It's a real movement with its own plan
It's not just a fashion, just for a day
This cannot be rationed in anyway
It's not just a moment, flash in the pan
It's a real movement with its own plan
