Nice Beatles-esque hippy folk song, very simple stuff with nice but powerful lyrics. Great music makes you laugh, cry, sometimes both at the same time! I'm no Mozart, no Dylan but do love a bit of emotion in music.No copyright, sources at ccmixer.org

Story behind the song
Been listening to loads of cool music this week, including Bob Dylan as well as Eternal (the female Crosby Stills & Nash) and Kylie (the female Neil Young!) This is a hippy protest song which Katie and myself have placed into the public domain. Great music makes you want to laugh and cry, sometimes both at the same time in a bittersweet, tragic-comic way that made the blues the blues. Whilst I love electronic and dance music, a lot of the modern stuff is soulless and materialistic- it doesn't have to be political either, even a love song is good enough for us. All live, all acoustic, but recorded to a metronome running at 100bpm for remixing.
Lyrics
Lyrics: we were born in the shadow of usurping kings though we might be slaves but us slaves can sing they can break our drums they can mute our voice but we'll never obey of our own free choice there's a light that burns in the darkest hour cos the power of love beats the love of power they can tell you black is white and the night is day but they'll never take the spirit of freedom away they can take true love and call it a crime if we don't serve them they'll call us wasting time there's no need to fear 'cos it's just a game and enjoying yourself is no cause for shame
