This calls for Kirsty
And I’ll see you baby when the clans rise again
Women and men united by a struggle
Going down
You’ve got to walk into the water
With your sister and your daughter
In this free world
With a pocketful of plastic
Like a dollar on elastic
In this free world
I wouldn’t tell you if I didn’t care
And the ghettoes are full of Mercedes Benz
And you’d never hurt a friend
Who wouldn’t tell you
Got to take it got to grab it
Got to get it up and shag it*
In this free world
You’ve got to get into the water
Like a lamb goes to the slaughter
In this free world baby…
Song is “Free World” by Kirsty MacColl (bless her), link is more good stuff from Josh Marshall.
ETA: By the way, I’ve asked this before, but you are all reading Joshua Micah Marshall on a regular basis, aren’t you? I mean not just when I link. There’s too much good stuff.
