    Public Enemy

    Public Enemy - Son of a Bush

    Oh no, struck by greased lightning
    F'ed by the same last name, you know what?
    China ain't never givin back that god damned plane
    Must got this whole nation trained on some kennel ration
    Refrain, the same train, full of cocaine, blows the brain
    Have you forgotten? I've been through the first term of rotten
    The father, the son and the holy Bush-shit we all in
    Don't look at me, I ain't callin for no assasination
    I'm just sayin, sayin
    Who voted for that asshole of your nation?
    Deja Bush, crushed by the headrush, when I wrote the bumrush
    Saw you salute to the then Vice Pres
    Who did what RayGun [Reagan] said
    And then became prez himself, went for delf
    Knee deep in his damned self
    Stuck in a three headed bucket, a trilateral Bush-shit
    Sorry ain't no better way of puttin it
    No you cannot freestyle this
    Cause you still ain't free
    If I fight for y'all then they get me
    How many o y'all is comin to get me?
    None! Cause it's easier to forget me
    Ain't that a Bush, son of a Bush is here all up in yo zone
    You ain't never heard so much soul to the bone
    I told y'all when the first Bush was tappin my telephone
    Spy vs. Spy, can't truss em, as you salute to the illuminati
    Y'know what? Take yo ass to your one millionth party!


    He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
    The son of a bad...
    He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
    Son of a bad..........

    Now here's the pitch
    Hiding inside certified genocide
    Ain't that a Bush, repeat ain't that a Bush?
    Out of nowhere headed to the hot house
    Killed 135 at the last count
    Texas Bounce! Texas Bounce! (c'mon)
    Cats in a cage got a ghost of a chance
    Of comin back from your whack-ass killin machine
    Son of a Bush, ain't that a son of a Bush
    Cats doin bids for the same Bush-shit that you did (the father)
    Serial killer kid, uhh! Serial killer kid
    Go on!

    He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
    The son of a bad...
    He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
    Son of a bad.........

    the father, the son...
    the father, the son...
    (go on, better go on)
    the father, the son, and the holy Bush-shit
    The father...
    The father...

    Coke is the real thing
    Used to make you swing
    Used to be yo thing
    Daddy had you under his wing
    Uhh, son of a Bush
    Bringin kilos to fill up silos
    You probably sniffed piles
    Got inmates in Texas scrubbin tiles
    That shit is wild
    That shit is wild CIA child
    That shit is wild CIA child......

    He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
    The son of a bad...
    He's the son of a Baaaaaad man
    Son of a bad......

    Son of a bad, man

    Flux of Pink Indians, The F**king C*nts Treat Us Like Pricks, is a nicely understated political record.

    Try Robert Wyatt circa 1980s. There's a lovely Rough Trade compilation, Nothing Can Stop Us Now. Politics without ranting.

    The Jam. For exquisitely controlled fusions of the personal and political that manage to sound spontaneous, angry and compassionate listen to Going Underground and That's Entertainment.

    Crass- Reality Asylum, feeding of the 5,000, etc, etc...

    Stiff Little Fingers have a good clutch of non political, political records.

    Billy Bragg love his music to death, but can only sometimes side with his pinko, socialist, PC, views

    smash up the government big style.

    cheers

    :D must confess listening to Billy for twenty years has turned me into a bit of a pinko socialist myself. Sometimes he's a little wide of the mark, but often he's spot on "Help Save the Youth of America" or "It Says Here" for example could almost have been written today and their message is still valid. His version of Leon Rosselson's "World Turned Upside Down" is an all time fave.

    Leon Rosselson, now there was a mistake. I knew Billy had done some great covers of his, but had never heard anything and when I saw a Leon Rosselson album in the charity shop I had to get it. Bloomin awful. Sounds like a highly political Otway without any sense of humour (if you can imagine such a thing).

    With you on SLF as well - Inflammable Material is a great punk album.
