Ian Brown - Illegal Attacks Lyrics
So what the fuck is this UK
Gunnin' with this US of A
In Iraq and Iran and in Afghanistan
Does not a day go by
Fail to drop it's bombs from the sky?
How many mothers to cry?
How many sons have to die?
How many missions left to fly over Palestine?
'Cause as a matter of facts
It's a pact, it's an act
These are illegal attacks
So bring the soldiers back
These are illegal attacks
I'm singing concrete facts
So bring the soldiers back
What mean ya that you beat my people
What mean ya that you beat my people
And grind the faces of the poor
So tell me just how come were the Taliban
Sat burning incense in Texas
Roaming round in a Lexus
Sittin' on six billion oil drums
Down with the Dow Jones, up on the Nasdaq
Pushed into the war zones
It's a commercial crusade
'Cause all the oil men get paid
And only so many soldiers come home
It's a commando crusade
A military charade
And only so many soldiers come home
What mean ya that you beat my people
What mean ya that you beat my people
And grind the faces of the poor
Soldiers, soldiers come home
Soldiers come home
Through all the blood and sweat
Nobody can forget
It ain't the size of the dog in the fight
It's the size of the fight in the dog on the day or the night
There's no time to reflect
On the threat, the situation, the bark nor the bite
These are commercial crusades
'Cause all the oil men get paid
These are commando crusades
Commando tactical rape
And from the streets of New York and Baghdad to Tehran and Tel Aviv
Bring forth the prophets of the Lord
From dirty bastards fillin' pockets
With the profits of greed
These are commercial crusades
Commando tactical raids
Playin' military charades to get paid
And who got the devils?
And who got the Lords?
Build yourself a mountain - drink up in the fountain
Soldiers come home
Soldiers come home
Soldiers come home
Soldiers come home
What mean ya that you beat my people
What mean ya that you beat my people
And grind the faces of the poor
What mean ya that you beat my people
What mean ya that you beat my people
And grind the faces of the poor

Ian Brown Illegal Attacks Comments
Sinéad & Feckin Ian........BRILLIANT
Never a truer word spoken (or sung). Ian thank you for having the balls to release this truth.
Will always be relevant
Pity he got that lost Irish coo involved.
These are illegal attacks. It’s contacts and contracts😓
stuart bradley it’s contact for contracts..... contact is a military term for engaging fire
Ian Brown knows 👌🏼☺️
A truthful Duo x
So what the fuck is this UK
Gunnin' with this US of A
In Iraq and Iran and in Afghanistan
Does not a day go by
Without the Israeli Air Force

And grind the faces of the poor
Offended by lack of views on this.
Viva La Palastine ❤

SOULJAHZ COME HOME

Wake Up O Sleeper
Realist musician out there both of them.
Remember when they banned this song from the radio and music channels.
The only free speech we have is when we’re towing the line.
He's a Don. He cussed the Isreali Airforce in this song. Man goes down in history. Man can't be owned.
Oh ian brown my foot in hero bale to put that in pice Liverpool the clapping klopold German robotic
Still relevant! Fuck Israel, fuck imperialism
Usa in Pakistán
Rip Sinead O'Connor
she's not dead.
I was in jail doing 8 years when I first heard this, time flies.....
2018 and still dropping bombs. Can't believe the UK has teamed up with US again. Dont believe anything in the media. Two Wrongs don't make a Right.
Still applies today sadly..... Syria #notinmyname
End Zionist Terrorism/Genocide
Free Palestine
God bless the innocent young service men and women that die in vain, under the illusion and deliberate corporate lies that states they are fighting to protect homeland freedom and liberty...the greatest lie ever told. Lambs to the slaughter, to line the pockets of Capitalist elites.
ft Sinead OConnor
SHARE THE FUCKING SONG
this fucking track from polydor 22otwenty its fact ,has been shelved in zeros and 111111111111111111ns
bong very interesting song i was interested in joining up but after this im not up for it
He is a legend I hope he will do one more gig as Ian Brown fucking amazing man
illegal attacks??? all off them!!!!!!!
Tony Blair bitch
Brown is Legend...
fuck the bankers
it's the the size of the fight.
Illegal attacks...9/11, 7/7, Bali, Madrid, Sweden, Australia, Tunisia, Egypt, Nigeria, China, Germany, Netherlands, Paris , we won't apologise, we didn't start the fire
+BroI〈 en drum Machine sure they were Einstein, it really gets me mad when people buy into Islamic propaganda
@zoltansocrates So what about John Anthony Hill's court case in 2011 when the British state tried to throw him in jail for perverting the court of justice because he sent copies of his document film 7/7 Ripple Effect to the jury present at the court case of the 7/7 bombers? He spent 2 days in court explaining why he thought 7/7 and 9/11 were inside jobs citing evidence such as the BBC reporting the collapse of building 7, 20 minutes before it collapsed. He received no charge and a standing ovation from the court and jury after the verdict was read out. Then there was the Tony Rooke case in 2012 when they tried to criminalize him for not paying his tv license. He represented himself in court and used the famous BBC reporting the collapse of building 7 as evidence. He walked away free. Or how about uk Police intelligence analyst Tony Farrel who was asked what he thought was the biggest threat to British security and he replied the government. He said 7/7 and 9/11 were inside jobs. Islamic propaganda? hahahahaha we blamed Saudi and flattened Afgahnistan. We funded al Qaeda in Syria but they were responsible for 9/11 and 7/7? you are a fool. I am willing to bet that you have never looked at the argument or evidence (which there is an overwhelming amount for). Just accepted what the msm told ya eh?
+BroI〈 en drum Machine as you say, what about it? No one is suggesting the american authorities didn't take advantage of what happened but that is a different conversation, Islamists still did it, and continue to do so
+zoltansocrates Nope. Nope and no. Yes of course islamists body snatched the employees at the BBC to lie live on air. lolz. .Have you even listened to the first responders? The police, the firemen and medics? Have you listened to the eye witnesses, the janitor? The police who said no plane hit the pentagon? The insurance policies taken out by Silverstein a month before? His statement saying they had to pull building 7? The bombs going off in the basement of the twin towers before the planes hit? The science doesn't support the official narrative. The families of people who died in the towers are the biggest 9/11 truthers out there. Dancing Israelis. NORAD doing exersizes and failing its job. I could go on forever as the list of anomalies is huge. Its a shame uninformed people like you keep the lies alive 15 years on....smh
@BroI〈 en drum Machine lol,besotted with Islamic propaganda
Right on brother.
when's he comin' out w/ new stuff?
God like genius..
IAN BROWN ANOTHER REAL HUMAN BEING AND DON'T THEY JUST STAND OUT AGAINST THE BORG POPULATION THAT MAKES UP MOST OF THE UK!!!! - RESPECT BROWN
Adicted to this song now
The band will continue to play so long as people are picking sides.
The end game in democracy is always to pick up a gun.
no gods no masters.
That is so true. I once read a book that proved statistically that democracies have caused more war than other ideologies. It is also do with the fact that most democracies are Christian nations as well, but I don't have the time or inkling to go into why that is so. But you put it so beautifully.
I love the song:)
funny how the people who talk war don't send their sons
well if its a war worth fighting for.... otherwise were all Fukin puppets
Tony Blair War Criminal
YES HANG THE CUNT
john mcguckin
And the rest...
Brits out EIRE32
+Ken o'brien Irish out of Britain
your pope gave Ireland to the crown,to keep us divided so we would not find out our true history
goodengine too late. now one in four english people has at least one Irish granparent.
de lujo esta ancion :)
Great song, great video, and still very relevant today
first time I've heard this, really good tune
JOY DIVISION FAN I SEE,U GOT GUD TASTE BRUV,BELTER OF A BAND ,DIGITAL IS THE 1.FAIR PLAY 2 U
Hard to believe it is 2014 and this is the very first time I am listening to this song/video. Back in 1965 in elementary school I was taught that war was over. Yeah, I guess so ..........
Nice one man
This is not Brave...
Brave is knowing you might be wrong ...
(or thinking you maybe)...& carrying on..
This is the Truth & therefor just is....
One need have have no fear...If one tells the truth..
immense
SOLDIERS,COME HOME!
wow
nice one
It doesn't half hit home doesn't it?
It's really not.
There are not all my countryman, but that doen not means that i want to shoot them. The idea "all the earth is my country" is the same idea from those who send the plane bombing.
NOT ALL all men r equal but !some more than others yes we r all men and we die the same
animal farm
meaningfull if have law well properly measure matters
I can't believe you feel so strongly about the patch of land that you were born on. I like to think I was born on this planet and everyone around me is my countryman.
even the cold war....was a war for resources
Im starting up with others...a group called "movement for the ground up independence of the british isles"....time for real freedom! peace
FUCK WAR!!!

and fufilling our minds and soul whit shit in tv channels .. ..so obious, so evident .. but people just dont want to know that is just insane that theres people dying of starv, that it just shuldnt be happening, that is just so stupid .. its all goin to shit ..lame, shame!
Word! .. but is just amazing how people just dont get it ..and stay in its confort zone, how we are just not thinking, not doing nothing, not teaching our children war is stupid and a sacamb and teaching hate instead .. so sad ... the same whit political 'corporation' , politicians only work for the owners of the doll and for themselves and take it to the next level cheating and robing the people, beating the weak and the poor,
Okay, Ian was talking about war. The kid ended up in the middle east. He raided a house and you see him taking off his helmet after he entered a little kids room, he had toy airplanes just like he did in his room. the smashing of the family portrait symbolizing breaking the family apart. The video and lyrics show alot just listen and watch closely
Ian and Sinead. Two great wordsmiths.
TUNE!!!!!
Diago Garcia........NUFF SED
sooo...um...i understood tht he needed a job but at the end was tht his house? was his family dead?
im confused! help me youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRING THE GREAT BRITISH FORCES BACK FROM MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
DO SOMETHING ABOUT MY £700 PETROL BILL.
STOP PAYING THE USELESS TO DO NOTHING.
One day soon they will learn its not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.
But this war will not be for god.
or oil.
or land
or for what you think is right.
it will be for survival
@letmeusethisnamenow Yeah... let's all just listen to the music and stay unaware of the state of the World. USE YOUR BRAIN!
@letmeusethisnamenow I don't care about what you think about how clever they all think they are. Turn off 'caps lock' and move on.
NIce one for this track! :) R.I.P Lee Ellis 1 <3
@911cads Scary times. Privatisation of public services is anti democratic as there is no implied necessity of disclosure to the public of a private companies KPI or expences, therefore accountability. When these companies exist on public money it is amazing that the wider public cannot understand that their rights and services are being eroded. Its a scam and a sham and a shame. The national debt was much higher post war than it is even now and yet they could afford house building and NHS.
@sugarraygras then Maggie let young men die for there country because she didnt see taking someone's country a taboo and dont get me started with poll tax, anti movement campaign stopping young people having a good time or living in there chosen life style, well cameron can sell the countrys back to the owners
This song and video make me cry ;'[
@arcz10 Cock
a film titled, "stealing a nation" by John Pilger, will give you a deeper understanding about the world we live in. If you think you are free, think again, the aforementioned film, as well as "the power of nightmares" and "the century of the self" by Adam Curtis, will undoubtedly open your eyes to reality
@spritey16 He has no mandate. At least Maggie won an election before she ripped this country to shreds and deregulated the financial industry to create the monster we are currently paying for. Cameron's solution is to sell off what's left to foreign billionaires whilst dancing to the true Brit fantasy.
Ian Brown: lyrical genius. fact.
Its the job of fathers to educate their children on the realities of modern warfare, how corporations profit, how coward politicians send others to do their killing and dying for them and how they dress it up with patriotism and duty to the 'nation'. Meanwhile at home bankers get bailed out and we pay our mortgages (mort = death in latin). Wakeup , Ian great song and video.
ooooh..this was a very powerful song that hit me right in the gut, as that recruiter convinced the young boy to go to war because he couldn't find a job. That was my son, right there. :-((((( Bastards, bring those soldiers home!
@Foxxeee Devide and conquer..............!
ingiliscene gurban olduğumun adamım yaa...
One of his most underated tunes ever. Work of a genius. All stand for DA MAN!
