[QUOTE="Brother Joe, post: 968224, member: 41239"] When I was just a little thing I used to love parades with banners, bands and red balloons and maybe lemonade when I came home one mayday my neighbours father said them marchers is all commies tell me kid are you a red? well, I didnt know just what he meant my hair back then was brown our house was plain red brick like most others in the town so I went and asked my mamma why our neighbour called me red my mummy took me on her knee and this is what she said Well you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red When I was growin' up, had my troubles I suppose when someone took exception to my face or to my clothes or tried to cheat me on a job or hit me on the head when I organised to fight back why the stinkers called me red But you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red if youv'e marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red When I was livin' on my own one apartment that I had had a lousy rotten landlord let me tell ya he was bad but when he tried to throw me out I rubbed my hands and said you haven't seen a struggle if you haven't fought a red! And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red if you've marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead 'cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red Well I kept on agitatin', cause what else can you do? you're gonna let the sons of bitches walk all over you my friends said you'll get fired, hanging with that commie mob I should be so lucky buddy, I ain't got a job And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red if you've marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red Well I've been agitatin' now for fifty years or more for jobs or for equality and always against war I'll keep on agitatin' as far as I can see and if that's what being red is then It's good enough for me 'cause you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red if you've marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red [/QUOTE]
