- Poison Girls - Price Of Grain of their statement discography
We all talk a lot
about wanting to be free
Sitting in the last lap of luxury
While some are dying
for a handful of rice
Who controls the market
who fixes the price
THE PRICE OF GRAIN
AND THE PRICE OF BLOOD
I asked the well-dressed Eurofarmer
Why do some grow fat
while others starve
He said "Can't afford to send food to Ethiopia
Be realistic -- this ain't Utopia"
They're dumping potatoes
and burning grain
And pouring fresh milk down the drain
While rich young things
in brand new cars
Play fast and loose like superstars
THE PRICE OF GRAIN
AND THE PRICE OF BLOOD
And we in the west all know and care
And we all shed our crocodile tears
Playing games while others die
So we se we can keep our prices high
And everyone says "We're not to blame"
Let's all wash hands and play the game
Boom and slump and waste and glut
The currency is human blood
THE PRICE OF GRAIN
AND THE PRICE OF BLOOD
THE PRICE OF BLOOD
THE PRICE OF BLOOD
I remember when I first heard this song...it blew me away with the message and got me thinking...??? That was in 1982, I was already into PUNK I got into PUNK in 1978 at 11yrs old it was all about the pistols,the clash , Ramone's ,BUT IN 79, I first heard about CR🅰️sS ,and started to listen to the more political 🅰️N 🅰️ RCHO ---- PUNK ... Well its now 2021 (December ) and I'm still listening to 🅰️ N@rcho --- PUNK and still a PUNK ROCKER so THANK YOU VI ....R.I.P ❤️🏴🏴🏴🏴🅰️☮️☯️🏴🏴
The time I heard this live I cried and screamed along with Vi she is one of my musical heroes.
Its like a tune from Oliver or something,,,Brilliant
Great tune btw ✊🏽
O wow..
the lyrics are even more spot on now than when they were written.
good!
@skintdug I find this recurring theme many times in the words of bands like these. They were so ahead of there time and still are..
Vi Subversa sounds so much like Marianne Faithfull here - the ragged wised-up Faithfull of the BROKEN ENGLISH album, from 1979, the "Why'd Ya Do It?" Faithfull - that it's uncanny. But of course, Marianne Faithfull never wrote a song like this. This cuts every simpering charity single and smug namby-pamby remark that Bob Geldof and Bono ever made about Ethiopian famine all to shreds. It makes me - a spoiled white English girl - feel desperately guilty. And I love it.
2022 Q2 checking in,
@skintdug Thats the truth! A very good way to look at it. What they spoke out against became a reality..
@ryansnack101 i know what you mean, although rather than the bands being ahead of their time im afraid its more a case of things getting worse not better in the world
