  • If you'd like to give us some money to spend on making more music, that would be kind. While we'd like it to be truly "pay what you like", bandcamp has decided that the minimum should be a pound...which, to be honest, isn't that unreasonable, if you ARE of a generous disposition.

about

A protest song from the 1840s, arranged by Chumbawamba on their album, "English Rebel Songs 1381 - 1984" and nefariously covered by us.

lyrics

You working men of England one moment now attend
While I unfold the treatment of the poor upon this land
For nowadays the factory lords have brought the labour low
And daily are contriving plans to prove our overthrow.

So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down:
They scorn the poor man as a thief in countryside and town.

There's different parts in Ireland, it's true what I do state
There's hundreds that are starving for they can't get food to eat
And if they go unto the rich to ask them for relief
They bang their door all in their face as if they were a thief.

So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down:
They scorn the poor man as a thief in countryside and town.

Alas how altered are the times, rich men despise the poor
And pay them off without remorse, quite scornful at their door
And if a man is out of work his Parish pay is small
Enough to starve himself and wife, his children and all.

So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down:
They scorn the poor man as a thief in countryside and town.

So to conclude and finish these few verses I have made
I hope to see before it's long men for their labour paid
Then we'll rejoice with heart and voice and banish all our woes
Before we do old England must pay us what she owes.

So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down:
They scorn the poor man as a thief in countryside and town.
