Insurgent Mood Songtext
von Fold

I′m very pleased that
Those peoples in the world whom I feel closest to
The colonial peoples, the African peoples, the Asian peoples
Are in an insurgent mood
And are in the process of transforming the world
And I think for the better
I can't quite understand pessimism at this moment
Unless of course one is wedded to things that are dying out
Which should die out
Like colonialism, like racism and so forth


For me this is one of the most affirmative periods in history
Would you care to go on about that?
Yes... I think it′s absolutely necessary
That people who are just coming into their own in the world
Must be as dramatic about it as they possibly can
Must embrace all causes, must embrace all methods
We're talking about oppressed peoples
Who are that saying that they must
Assert themselves in the world
We have a great deal to be angry about

Insurgent mood
Insurgent mood
Insurgent mood

It's hard to know what you should fight for or against
But there are things to do
We must make some decisions in this country
