billy bragg - there will be a reckoning lyrics

Loading...

somewhere between the midnight
and the cold and empty dawn
i found myself out walking
on the streets where i was born
and i came upon a stranger
who looked me in the face
and asked me what i was doing
in this god forsaken place

i don’t need to be forgiven
for something i haven’t done
no forewarned in my family
can find their place in the sun
if you keep this pressure on
just don’t be surprised
if i can’t summon up my dignity
while you’re roughing up my pride

there will be a reckoning
for the peddlers of hate
who spread their poison all across this estate
and a reckoning to, for the politicians who
left us to this fate
there will be a reckoning

and just a few days later, a man came to my door
to ask me if i thought that
this place was worth fighting for
and tho i recognize his reasons
i just could not agree
when they told me that my neighbour
would be my enemy

i don’t need to be forgiven
for something i haven’t done
no forewarned in my family
can find their place in the sun
if you keep this pressure on
just don’t be surprised
if i can’t summon up my dignity
while you’re roughing up my pride

there will be a reckoning
for the peddlers of hate
who spread their poison all across this estate
and a reckoning to, for the politicians who
left us to this fate
there will be a reckoning
there will be a reckoning
there will be a reckoning
there will be a reckoning
