Reds Strike the Blues! - The Redskins

My friends say we’re stuck in a hopless thing

They all say the same thing — it can’t work

Our life’s so full of strife

It make’s you reach for the knife

It won’t work, aw but you know the feeling

So it goes & now it’s gone

You & me we struggle on

Please seize these chains that hold us back

Let’s make it work!

Life lists on & we survive, but it sucks us dry

The bitter waste, chances passed

And we passed them on

Now everybody’s saying our time has gone

So it goes & now it’s gone

You & me we struggle on

Please seize these chains that hold us back

Let’s make it work!

The world’s upside down & backwards round, yes it is

To serve no purpose only profit

That brutal?

More so: To serve them all days & nights

Why, every waking hour!

And more besides

Some say we’re stuck in this life of pain but I maintain we can change it

All that we need, we’ve got it

To cut loose from this sham, God damn!

Seize these chains that hold us back

Others make this a world in crisis

— Let's make it work!

You & me, we struggle on

And so it goes

Damn wrong!

Seize these chains that hold us back

Let’s make it work!
