Freddie McGregor – Get Involved Part 1 + 2
I’m in the Bay Area today, with politics and records on my mind…not sure there’s a better theme song for 2016 than this classic by Freddie McGregor, which I was very thankful to pick up at Zen Records in London back in the Spring on a long layover coming back from Spain. No matter how you do it, take Freddie’s advice and get involved!
All you silent majority who have been speaking out,
You waltzed in here right now and start running your mouth,
You keep talking about the world, and that we need a change,
All you do is sit down on your you know what, and never do a thing,
Well, if you really want to see a change and you mean it from your heart,
You want to get involved, Get up and just get involved!
They keep talking about the politicians singing the same old notes,
But when the election comes around, your the main one who won’t go out and vote,
People in poverty, they don’t seem to worry you,
You got your long Cadillac to drive and you know you can’t lose,
Well, if you really want to see a change and you mean it from your heart,
You want to get involved, Get up and just get involved!
