Protest Song '68

Refused

To sing you must first open your mouth

You must have a pair of lungs

and a little knowledge of music

It is not necessary to have an accordion, or a guitar

The essential thing is that I want to sing

Then this is a song, I'm singing.



I breathe in and I create

Rewoke the spirit '68

Fresh meaning to torn ideas

Let's bring life to old clichés

Punch a hole in tradition

Yeah, let's listen

To the songs of discontent

The chords and the movement



It could all be so simple

We would all stand baffled by the precision and accuracy

Our jaws would hurt from dropping

so hard, fast and unexpected

It would be the perfect metaphor

It would be the perfect song we'd be singing



I breathe out and I scream

Rewoke Malatestas dream

Inspiration from the past

Focus to the future at last

Fixed dogmas can't substitute

Creative thought and action



We could be dangerous

Art as a real threat



And all it is is words

Words said a million times before

And all it is is a song

A song sung a million times before



I breathe in and I create

Rewoke the spirit '68

I breathe out and I scream

Rewoke Malatestas dream
