Old pirates, yes they rob, I

Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the almighty

We forward in this generation triumphantly

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption songs

Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear for atomic energy

'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look

Some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fulfill the book

So won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption songs

Redemption songs

Redemption songs

Old pirates, yes they rob, I

Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look

Some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fulfill the book

So won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption songs

These songs of freedom

These songs of freedom

Joe Strummer - Without people you're nothing

“And so now I'd like to say - people can change anything they want to. And that means everything in the world. People are running about following their little tracks - I am one of them. But we've all got to stop just following our own little mouse trail. People can do anything - this is something that I'm beginning to learn. People are out there doing bad things to each other. That's because they've been dehumanised. It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Greed, it ain't going anywhere. They should have that in a big billboard across Times Square. Without people you're nothing. That's my spiel.”
