Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros

Redemption Song
Old pirates yes they rob I Sold I to the merchant ships Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pit But my hand was made strong By the hand of the almighty We forward in this generation Triumphantly Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom Cause all I ever had, redemption songs Redemption songs Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds Have no fear for atomic energy Cause none of them can stop the time How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look Some say it's just a part of it We've got to fulfill the book So won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom Cause all I ever had, redemption songs Redemption songs, redemption songs Old pirates yes they rob I SongtexteSold I to the merchant ships Minutes after they took I >From the bottomless pit How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look Some say it's just a part of it We've got to fulfill the book So won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom Cause all I ever had, these songs of freedom Cause all I ever had, redemption songs These songs of freedom, these songs of freedom (Thanks to Joe for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
