Most protest music is rightfully angry or devastated or poignant or didactic. I love the following for it’s chillaxed reminder that no matter how mellow you’re feeling, it’s a good day to fight the system. This is currently my morning anthem.
I woke up feeling great
The birds are in the trees
They’re singing me a melody
La la la la fuck the police
My head is on straight
My heart is in peace
My soul is incredibly
Ready to change history
It’s a good day
To fight the system
(To fight the system)
It’s a good, good, good day, yes,
A good, good, good day
We’re never gonna stop
We’re gonna make it count
When when one of is tired out
The other one will hold down
We’re gonna spread the love
We’re gonna spread it ‘round
We’re all over in the city now
And way down in the underground
It’s a good day
To fight the system
(To fight the system)
It’s a good, good, good day, yes,
A good, good, good day
