Alright
Alright
Alright

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me in, out, in, out?
Be all right
Be all right
Be all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We all doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is, brother, you have to wait
Be all right
Be all right
Be all right

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You'd better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow
Be all right
Be all right
Be all right

Be all right
Be all right
Be all right

Be all right
Be all right
Be all right

(Be) All right
(Be) All right
(Be) All right

Billy Brag born in 1957 in Essex, was since a young age very inspired by punk, and politically motivated folk music. After attending the Rock Against Fascism concert where he saw The Clash perform, that was when he finally made the decision to pursue a left wing politically driven music career.

He first formed the punk band Riff Raff in 1977, but with no exposure the band broke apart in 1980. After a bad start of his music career he decided to join the British Army, but after only three months he bought himself out and headed back home.

With some of his albums starting to get more coverage, like “Between the Wars” which then got onto the top 20 of the UK Top Singles chart.
