Bring it Down – An Anthem Dedicated to Pat Phelan

A song, “Bring it Down”, by an old eighties band called The Redskins was buzzing through my head this weekend. They were specifically talking about capitalism and Thatchers Britain, but I reckon the lyrics make it pretty good anthem for what Pat is trying to do with the network operators.

(BURN IT UP!) BRING IT DOWN!

You’ve never had it so good
The favourite phrase of those who’ve always had it better
Burn it up!
Realise the altogether

Bring it down
Burn together
The altogether’s an insane thing, insane thing
Bring it down
All together
The altogether’s an insane thing, insane thing

You’ve never had it so good
The favourite phrase of those who’ve always had it better
You never had so much is the cry
Of those who’ve always had much more, much more than you & I

Burn brother burn
Fight together
This altogether’s an insane thing, insane thing
Bring it down
All together
The altogether’s an insane thing, insane thing

Burn
Insane thing, insane thing
Insane thing, insane thing

Burn brother burn
Let’s burn Together
Burn brother burn
Burn, burn, burn
This insane thing, insane thing
Burn brother burn
Burn sister burn

Spurn the lie
They use to justify
This insanity!
The inhumanity!
Of this insane thing

Burn brother burn
Burn, burn, burn
Some’s got it easy
Bring it down
The altogether
Keeps getting better for the few
Who’ve got it good to start with …
