for the wretched - a mix for the oppressed

01. At The End Of The Day - Les Miserables

Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that’ll break any second
There’s a hunger in the land
There’s a reckoning still to be reckoned
And there’s gonna be hell to pay

02. Christmas Bells - RENT

Can’t you spare a dime or two?
Here but for the grace of God go you
You’ll be merry
I’ll be merry
Though merry ain’t in my vocabulary

03. Gun Song/Ballad of Czolgoz - Assassins

A gun kills many men before it’s done
Hundreds- long before you shoot the gun
Men in the mines
And in the steel mills
Men at machines
Who died for what?
Somthing to buy-
A watch, a shoe, a gun
A thing to make the bosses richer

04. Money - Cabaret

When you go to get a word of advice
From the fat little pastor
He will tell you to love evermore.
But when hunger comes a rap
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window
See how love flies out the door!

05. Made In America - Bonnie and Clyde

You can’t blame ‘em- who can blame ‘em?
Ain’t their fault they turned to crime
A bar of soap’s a luxury
Don’t get much change from a dime
You can’t blame those kids for wanting
To fill up their shopping bags
City Hall is low on kindness
But it don’t run out of flags

06. Merry Christmas, Maggie Thatcher - Billy Elliot

And they’ve brought their fascist bootboys
And they’ve brought the boys in blue
And the whole Trade Union Congress
Will be at the party too
And they’ll all hold hands together
All standing in a line
’Cause they’re privatising Santa
This merry Christmas time

07. Look Down- Les Miserables

When’s it gonna end?
When we gonna live?
Something’s gotta happen now
Or something’s gonna give
It’ll come, it’ll come

08. We’d Like To Thank You Herbert Hoover - Annie

Come down and share some Christmas dinner
Be sure to bring the missus too
We got no turkey for our stuffing
Why don’t we stuff you?
We’d like to thank you, Herbert Hoover
For really showing us the way
You dirty rat, you Bureaucrat, you
Made us what we are today

09. Take A Letter Miss Jones - Blood Brothers

There’s a young man on the street, Miss Jones
He’s walkin’ round in circles
He’s old before his time
But still too young to know
Don’t look at him, don’t cry though
This living on the giro
Is just another sign of the times

10. Once And For All - Newsies

This is for kids shining shoes in the street
With no shoes on their feet every day
This is for guys sweating blood in the shops
While the bosses and cops look away
I’m seeing kids standing tall
Ready and raring to brawl
Armies of guys who are sick of the lies
Getting ready to rise or to fall!
