Chumbawamba - You Can (Mass Trespass, 1932) Lyrics
For all those feet in ancient times
For stepping out of line
Dragging time and tide
Against the keepers of the past
The flags of class and caste
All your week you were someone's slave
Today you're a free man
If they tell you you can't
Then you can
You can, you can, you can
You can, you can
Walking high upon the hills
Rough-shod against well-heeled
A compass and a cap
A sing-song and a scrap
A dotted line across the map
All your week you were someone's slave
Today you're a free man
If they tell you you can't
Then you can
You can, you can, you can
You can, you can
Every five-barred gate my home
A place to call my own
Stone to boundary stone
For every footprint on the land
The banners and the banned
Who swayed the best-laid plans
All your week you were someone's slave
Today you're a free man
If they tell you you can't
Then you can
You can, you can, you can

Chumbawamba You Can (Mass Trespass, 1932) Comments
Particularly relevant today when protesters against fracking were given 18 months jail sentences . The last time this happened in UK was when there was this Mass Trespass.
I'm pretty sure that we had similar, and greater, sentences during the road protests of the 1990s too
すげー大好き
i love this song

WE WANT TO CHANGE THIS WORLD
You can!
@Joseph Voto you can
You can :)
My thoughts exactly, this weekend as we took our five year old over a few stiles and muddy fields and I tried to explain to him why we were allowed to do this without being told off!
This has added poignancy during the 80th Anniversary this week (April 2102) - next time you're out and about on the moors and mountains, spare a thought for the trespassers of 1932 (some of whom were jailed for what should be a birthright) - without their brave actions on April 24th,1932, we wouldn't have the freedom to roam
viva viva viva la socialisme!
