The Old Blue Witch Is Dead by conniptions published on 2013-04-09T14:19:57Z Written 8/9 April 2013, for the Coursera Songwriting Course Assessment 5. Recorded on an HTC Desire C with Soundcloud app. Proper recording to follow :) Am G Am G There's a party tonight in Brixton Word's begun to spread They say the strike-breaking milk snatcher cracked her last whip They say the widow making poll taxer checked out of the Ritz - F It's on the news - E7 Am The old blue witch is dead. There's a party tonight in Brixton I'll stay at home instead 'Cause the Iron Lady's bastard child is still in Number Ten And the hospital is closing and the library is gone In other news Some old blue witch is dead Dm The rich keep getting richer Am And the poor keep getting poorer Dm E7 While the blue rosettes keep laughing at us all Dm The rich keep getting richer Am And the poor keep getting poorer F E7 What are you going to do? There's a meeting tonight in Brixton For all whose blood is red We're occupying, demonstrating, working to unite And we're organising, generating ways to win the fight Until we do... That old blue witch ain't dead. Genre protest song Comment by Antonio Vieira (Coursera) love it :) 2013-04-11T14:00:04Z Comment by Dave Haynie Love it! Catchy and fun (and yeah, not every Yankee is oblivious to the realities of the rest of the world), for a serious topic. 2013-04-10T19:24:44Z
