Joe Thompson

Joe Thompson was an African-American old-time fiddler and banjo player. He was born in 1918 and grew up in North Carolina, where he learned traditional Piedmont-style fiddle and banjo tunes. Thompson was recognized as one of the few remaining African-American musicians who preserved the traditional string band music of the region. He became well-known for his lively performances and his contributions to the revival of old-time music. Thompson passed away in 2012, but his legacy lives on in recordings and the influence he had on younger musicians. more »

Red, white and blue
It's all just an excuse
To hate somebody new
Cos you feel like, yeah you feel like

Shaved heads
Look like they lost a bet
It's all, part of the act
It's, time to react
They'll go down town
Find someone brown
It's one v seventeen
So I think he's going down
Bring up brexit
I'd rather just forget it 
It's what the people want
We promise that they'll get it
But if we raise the tax on race attacks will we earn enough to send them all back
Oh what a funny thing to say
When we've been multicultural since before the middle age
Ideas in their heads
Three lions on their chest
And a twisted moral compass that's under house arrest
British children have no future, neither will I
When all your hateful statements just make me want to die
Claim you're a patriot but I don't see how
You say you love your country but you never do it proud

Red, White and Blue
It's all just an excuse
To hate somebody new
Cos you feel like, yeah you feel like

I don't love my country guess that makes me a traitor
Theresa's in charge but that don't mean I rate her
Why do you care about the place you've grown
A queen and government don't make a house a home
Why are immigrants always the first to blame
They can't steal your job when you've none to your name
How can't you see the irony
In closing borders whilst owning colonies
After all what does our flag really stand for
Nine crusades and another two world wars
Three colours which we're meant to adore
Think I'll find something better to fight for

What are we fighting for
What are we fighting for
What are we fighting for 
What are we fighting for 

Red, white and blue (What are we fighting for)
It's all just an excuse (What are we fighting for)
To hate somebody new (What are we fighting for)
Cos you feel like, yeah you feel like (What are we fighting for)
Red, white and blue (What are we fighting for)
It's all just an excuse (What are we fighting for)
To hate somebody new (What are we fighting for)
Cos you feel like, yeah you feel like (What are we fighting for)
