Keep on Rockin in the Free World

[Charles]

Ground Zero at the Revolution against the Trump Regime, the soundtrack begins with raw anarchy, the fuel of change.



London's burning!

All across the town, all across the night
Everybody's driving with full headlights
Black or white turn it on, face the new religion

Everybody's sitting 'round watching television!

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999

I'm up and down the Westway, in an' out the lights
What a great traffic system - it's so bright
I can't think of a better way to spend the night

Than speeding around underneath the yellow lights

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999

Now I'm in the subway and I'm looking for the flat
This one leads to this block, this one leads to that
The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a home
I run through the empty stone because I'm all alone

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999

London's burning!

Order in disorder is the path through chaos. Spin the dial and it settles on This is Radio Clash!



Interrupting all programs
This is radio clash from pirate satellite
Orbiting your living room,
Cashing in the bill of rights
Cuban army surplus or refusing all third lights
This is radio clash on pirate satellite
This sound does not subscribe
To the international plan
In the psycho shadow of the white right hand
Then that see ghettology as an urban Vietnam
Giving deadly exhibitions of murder by napalm
This is radio clash tearing up the seven veils
This is radio clash please save us, not the whales
This is radio clash underneath a mushroom cloud
This is radio clash
You don't need that funeral shroud
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
Hands of law have sorted through
My identity
But now this sound is brave
And wants to be free - anyway to be free
This is Radio clash on pirate satellite
This is not free Europe
Not an armed force network
This is Radio Clash using audio ammunition
This is Radio Clash can we get that world to listen?
This is Radio Clash using aural ammunition
This is Radio Clash can we get that world to listen?
This is Radio Clash on pirate satellite
Orbiting your living room,
Cashing in the bill of rights
This is radio Clash on pirate satellite
This is radio Clash everybody hold on tight
A-riggy diggy dig dang dang
Go back to urban 'nam

[Charles]

The cultural blitzkrieg begins now. No resistance will stand. We want the airwaves!



Nine to five and five to nine
Ain't gonna take it, it's our time
We want the world and we want it now
We're gonna take it anyhow
We want the airwaves (that's right, that's right)
We want the airwaves (that's right, that's right)
We want the airwaves, baby
If rock is gonna stay alive
Oh yeah
Well, all right
Well, let's rock
Tonight, all night
Oh yeah
Well, all right
Well, let's rock
Tonight, all night, all night
Where's your guts and will to survive?
Don't you wanna keep rock 'n' roll music alive?
Mr. Programmer, I got my hammer
For to smash my, smash my radio
We want the airwaves (that's right, that's right)
We want the airwaves (that's right, that's right)
We want the airwaves, baby
If rock is gonna stay alive
Oh yeah
Well, all right
Let's rock
Tonight, all night
Oh yeah
Well, all right
Let's rock
Tonight, all night, all night
We want the airwaves, airwaves
We want the airwaves, airwaves
We want the airwaves, airwaves
We want the airwaves, airwaves
We want the airwaves, baby

Jimi's "Straight Ahead" is an electrical storm making sense of itself. Conflict, dissonance, tenacity in the face of it all.
