A ballad against bullying. The lyrics are based on Games without Frontiers of Peter Gabriel. That song has a name in every line which was a funny idea to try in our own song.
lyrics
John was a redhead and always called names.
Brenda had braces, she experienced the same.
Mike was too short, Danny too tall.
One thing they shared, they were bullied by all.
George was a bit nerdy, still lives with his mom.
Spit on by girls, he missed his own prom.
Jack’s way to fat, he never had a wife.
But Kentucky Fried Chicken makes him feel alive.
It’s time, stand up, take a stand,
Make your own demands.
Bully the bullies, keep fighting the fight.
It’s time to put things right.
When Timmy was small, he played with all toys.
Now he’s a grown-up and just into boys
Beaten at the gates, Bill’s not popular at school,
Now he’s a millionaire that makes them all drool.
It’s time, stand up, take a stand,
Make your own demands.
Bully the bullies, keep fighting the fight.
It’s time to put things right.
Many people think it’s all a joke
and so many people say “I didn’t know”
and so many people feel bad when they do.
So open your eyes, be true.
Skinny Suzanna had a frame like a stick.
But now she’s a knockout, wish she’d sucked my ….
Jack was too black and Barry too white.
But they get laid every night.
It’s time, stand up, take a stand,
Make your own demands.
Bully the bullies, keep fighting the fight.
It’s time to put things right.
It’s time, stand up, take a stand,
Make your own demands.
Bully the bullies, keep fighting the fight.
It’s time to put things right.
Bully the bullies, keep fighting the fight.
It’s time to put things right.

How does a bottle of whiskey taste if you have six true musicians doing their thing? How's rock 'n' roll as these same guys mix their passion for Irish folk, steaming Americana and solid rock to a swinging cocktail?
