Story behind the song
Its still as grim on the City Streets as when this re worked song was originally written by us some years ago !
Lyrics
URBAN WARFARE Tell me one politician who don't tell lies They promise the earth then turn a blind eye They watch us from on high as the boys come of age All the colours of man enter the turfwar rage --------------------------------------------------- So Come on down to street level all you people of note See the faces of the Nation ready to vote You offered up yourself as a man of decision Who could cut out all the rot with a confident vision ------------------------------------------------- Down on the ward another boy waits to die Yeah... he honoured his gang and yeah he gave it a try The policeman looks down as he utters a sigh Was it really worth the price of an eye.... for an eye ? ----------------------------------------------------- So come on down to the street level all you people of note--- see the faces of the Nation that are getting ready to vote Well you punish us and you tax us and you live like Kings--- to working class people expense slips - they just don't mean a thing So we all go to the ballot and we vote for a side but knowing full well that we're there just for the ride Our fathers before us did exactly the same thing Whoever you vote for they're still gonna let you down whether in your village, in your city or in your town So don't feel so guilty when making a choice-- 'cos none of these parties speak with our voice Keep your head up and walk with a stride - but remember - they can take all our money but never, ever our pride So come on down to the street level you Star Spangled Banner you Union Jack, 'cos its time for the people OK ? - yeah to get something right on back !!

Magnificent production and sound on this one. Aopcalyptic and masterful. Lyrics are sadly a bit too true..

Love that evil sounding guitar ! So powerful supporting the lyrics that describe perfectly the s*** show that is politics ! Great performance!

The lyrics will always stand the test of time, politicians are human, & humans never learn. Love the arrangement to this track, it really gives it that something special. Brilliantly done. Great vocals & guitar work. Top notch song on every level

Whoa.. this one is dark fellas - like the subject matter it presents... A wise old man once told me "if a politician is honest when elected - they will change soon enough". Very sadly true... Heavy tune you guys!!

Very cool!! Awsome menacing guitar intro! Drums are excellent! Like the way it changes tempo. Got a real beat down feel. Nice work on the vocals. Top marks!

your sound is so good, well done as this really rocks with right amount of attitude, the more things change the more they stay the same for sure, great track!
