Our father was a union man some day I'll be one too.
The bosses fired daddy what's our family gonna do?
Come all you good workers good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good old union has come in here to dwell.
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
My daddy was miner and I'm a miner's son
and I'll stick with the union 'til every battles done.
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
They say in Harlan County there are no neutrals there
you'll either be a union man or a thug for J.H. Blair
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Oh workers can you stand it? Oh tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Don't scab for the bosses don't listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven't got a chance unless we organize.
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
DROPKICK MURPHYS LYRICS
"A Few Good Men"
It's time we stood up for ourselves so get up off your knees.
We'll shake off our detractors and attain our hopes and dreams
and if we fall prey to in-fighting, we're never gonna win,
so put aside your differences, sing loud, sing proud
We won't listen to their stories or be waylaid by their lies
it's a dram that's still attainable for kids like you and I
So if we all stand together singing one defiant song
our voice will reach the heavens, so sing with all your heart
[Chorus:]
Join us in a song
we shall rise and sing stand up and be counted
sing a song for liberty join us in this song
together we shall sing rise up and be counted
sing it loud, sing it proud
We've been brutalized and crucified, the brunt of their attacks,
is corruption not their trademark and compassion what they lack?
If we can realize our common goals,
the end of which is plain united and now stronger,
their loss is now our gain!
DROPKICK MURPHYS LYRICS
"Tomorrow's Industry"
Young kids in Catholic schools
Elderly parents living under your roof
You pay the bills and you pay the price
You don't back down and you won't play nice
The disgraced values of the company man
Are why you fight and sacrifice
Don't bed or break for their one-way rules
Or run from battles you know you'll lose
[Chorus:]
Greed is blinding you
But we can see
He's got yesterday's values
Living in tomorrow's industry
They see your eyes, they see your face
But it's your soul they wanna take
Yeah, welcome to the future it don't seem fair
But this is your struggle, the cross you bear
They know your paying, they don't think twice
There's a dollar value on your life
You don't compromise and you don't break
Yeah, it's your principles at stake
[Chorus]
The daily outlook it's so bleak
Saving every dollar of the week
Living month to month, you've got to get ahead
But all the while falling deeper in debt
[Chorus]
The weight falls hard on the stand up gy
The one you can count on you can rely
This is your future it don't seem right
But this is your battle, this is your fight
Something in this country has got to change
If we're ever gonna see those days again
Your parents may have done it with just one job
But now we're working for less and twice as hard.

"Nobody's Hero"
[Originally by Stiff Little Fingers]
i think it time we talk this over
i think you've taking it to far
i never wanted to be different
i didn't have to be nobody's star
try to take control of it cause what you see is what you get.
try to take control of it on me.
you say theres talk of revolution
you say theres fighting in the air.
you think that i got disillusion
but do you really think that's fair.
try to take control of it cause
what you see is what you get.
try to take control of it on me.
don't want to be nobody's hero
don't want to be nobody's star
don't want to be nobody's hero
get up getup be what you are.
your think it time you took me over
do what you can do yourself
but don't let hero get your kicks for you
it's up to you and no one else.
try to take control of it cause
what you see is what you get.
try to take control of it and you'll see
don't want to be nobody's hero
don't want to be nobody's star
don't want to be nobody's hero
get up getup be what you are.
you think your nobody
and i have all the fun
but no ones nobody
everyone is some one
don't want to be nobody's hero
don't want to be nobody's star
don't want to be nobody's hero
get up getup be what you are.
be what you are [x18]
DROPKICK MURPHYS LYRICS
"The Green Fields Of France"
[Originally by Eric Bogle]
Oh how do you do, young Willy McBride
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done
And I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
When you joined the great fallen in 1916
Well I hope you died quick
And I hope you died clean
Or Willy McBride, was is it slow and obscene
Did they beat the drums slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined
And though you died back in 1916
To that loyal heart you're forever nineteen
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane
In an old photograph torn, tattered, and stained
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame
Did they beat the drums slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
The sun shining down on these green fields of France
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance
The trenches have vanished long under the plow
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now
But here in this graveyard that's still no mans land
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
And a whole generation were butchered and damned
Did they beat the drums slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
And I can't help but wonder oh Willy McBride
Do all those who lie here know why they died
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause
Did you really believe that this war would end wars
Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
The killing and dying it was all done in vain
Oh Willy McBride it all happened again
And again, and again, and again, and again
Did they beat the drums slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
Also NOFX
Sunday 4th November: Carling Academy Brixton
Hopefully free for Dropkick Murphys but NOFX I'm working!
I'd say general awareness stuff as although the interest will be there re-911 I doubt many punks would attend one of our beer free events :0 I know I'm stereotyping here but I feel expecting many to show at our events a loss, mind you street actions may well have greater interest to these nonconformists _________________ 'Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

I would think events like the zapping of Dr Strangelove - sorry Dearlove - might well appeal to punks and London group meetings at the Counting House are certainly not beer-free.
Anyway, it doesn't do to stereotype punks or anyone else.
I agree, I meant it more in jest than open observation and or criticism. I bet we'd get some along to The Counting House but that is not what we generally flyer
I'd also highly recomment flyering more gigs in General Especially Nu Metal certain Old Metal (I have a List or at least can point some out )
all Punk infact most things slightly off the beaten track, where the listerner desires something means they're open to thought _________________ 'Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

ARCH ENEMY - Post "Revolution Begins" video! 06.11.2007
While ARCH ENEMY’s new album “Rise Of The Tyrant” is being praised by media and fans alike, the band now presents you the impressive brand-new video clip for “Revolution Begins”!
Directed by Patric Ullaeus (Dimmu Borgir, In Flames, etc.) from www.revolver.se, the video approaches the song’s title & lyrics quite literally showing ARCH ENEMY and their guerrilla forces preparing a massive worldwide uproar driven by unrivalled metallic fury! Michael Amott comments:
"Check out our video for ‘Revolution Begins’, it was a very enjoyable shoot and the visuals work great with the music – Patric Ullaeus is the man!"
Furthermore the band has just finished the Australian part of The Black Crusade Tour with Machine Head & Trivium and Michael Amott sends the following re-cap:
"Our third visit to Australia was killer! We had a good time as usual here and I enjoyed the shows, which were all pretty huge and fun to play. Machine Head, Trivium and Arch Enemy proved to be a great package. Great shows, great weather and great people! I’d also like to thank all the good people at CMI who supplied the Randall amps and hooked up the in-stores I did, always fun to talk string gauges and tubes with guitar kids – and I’m not being ironic here!"
ARCH ENEMY will next be playing two headlining shows in Greece & Spain, followed by the frenetically awaited European leg of The Black Crusade Tour (w/ Machine Head, Dragonforce, Trivium, Shadows Fall). So, have a look at the dates below and prepare your neck for THE metal live package of 2007!
