Since Yesterday Was Here Songtext

von Stiff Little Fingers

There's people marching in the streets
Trying to be heard and be seen
To care
And be fair
Yet sit down protests lead to pepper spray
And politicians, bankers who just turn away
Cos they
Think they'll never pay

It looks to me like nothing's changed
Since yesterday was here
It's just the same
Since yesterday was here

So, Northern Ireland or Vietnam
Pick your cause and make your stand
And fight
For what you think is right
We got peaceful protest once again
You can occupy Wall Street and Number 10
And they
Still won't give a damn

But the shouts of a million voices
Won't simply fade away
And the shouts of a million more
Will join us everyday

Poll tax, miner's strikes, MLK
Margaret Thatcher, CND and Watergate
Again
And it's all the same (You see I've heard it said)
The rich get richer and the rest get deceived
I think my brain is on repeat
We can't
Let them win again
