about

A diary of a 28yr old black man, living in Thatchers England survives long enough to see her dead.

lyrics

4 months into 28/Downpression Blues

I step out of the car
Say my goodbyes and hit the road
With a pocket full of borrowed change
I stumble through the cold
To find myself reflecting on the date
And laughing at the coincidence of her demise today

This is the diary of a blackman
4 months into 28
I'm glad to see the back of you
I wish the rest you'd take
As you say your leaving
a little song fills my head
Hay ho hidey ho
The wicked bitch is dead

If I die in this gutter
Take this word for memory
I was born in England in the summer of '63
The whole of my working life
I've watched this country bleed
As you've trampled on the needy to satisfy your greed

This is the diary of a blackman
4 months into 28
I'm glad to see the back of you
I wish the rest you'd take
As you say your leaving
a little song fills my head
Hay ho hidey ho
The wicked bitch is dead

No freedom of speech
No union power
Can't protest on the street
Without being kicked down
We're sitting on the edge of the 4th world war
The sick are turned away from hospital doors

This is the diary of a blackman
4 months into 28
I'm glad to see the back of you
I wish the rest you'd take
As you say your leaving
a little song fills my head
Hay ho hidey ho
The wicked bitch is dead

The victories that you claim
Have left a trail of misery
But now they say there'll be a change
But I find that hard to take
As every asshole around you fights to fill your shoes
They change the names but the games the same
It's called downpression blues

This is the diary of a blackman
4 months into 28
I'm glad to see the back of you
I wish the rest you'd take
As you say your leaving
a little song fills my head
Hay ho hidey ho
The wicked bitch is dead
