Glenn Hodge Banned - As It Is - Official Music Video
As It Is, is the second single from upcoming album Behind Closed Doors.
Glenn on the song:
After watching an interview with a well known politician's dad on Channel 4 (check out the Pinocchio incident), I felt compelled to put pen to paper and write this song.
As usual, I don't really know how to categorise the genre here. Maybe it's urban folk, alternative folk, English folk, whatever. Reviewers have likened my songs to Billy Bragg, Frank Turner and Beans on Toast, so maybe that's a good place to start?
As a London based singer songwriter, I utilised my local east London neighbourhood for the setting as I walk these streets every day.
Anyway, I hope this video brightens your mood somewhat. Here's to us, my brothers and sisters throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland and cheers to all our friends around the world.
As It Is - Lyrics
Verse 1
There was a fella on the news today, who suffered some abuse
For a mind with an obtuse that comes with privilege
In a look as old as money never hungered for a day
But would showcase a distain for those were born to it
But we are the undisputed engine the ones that have to give
Working on the frontline and nursing your kids
And we are building the houses you live in
We work
Chorus
All over Scottland
Have you met the fierce Irish nation
As it is all throughout England
What you want is a Welshman beside you
Verse 2
They’re looking ragged in the alleys
In the streets they’re all done in
Put their money on the man who took it home with him
Should we push away our neighbours? Well Lets put it to a vote
On a whim and in the hope that a new age begin
But we’re the anger in the voices of the many over years
Destined to be choice-less invested in fear
And we’re calling to everyone listen
And we’re calling to everyone listen
We live
Chorus
All over Scottland
Have you met the fierce Irish nation
As it is all throughout England
What you want is a Welshman beside you
It’s the same the whole world over with an ounce of life to live
Bet your life you’ll give it up and take it all they will
Maybe no amount of protest could change the way it is
But it is the way it is at least it is for now
We’re taking this future if you give in
Get calling to everyone listen
We’re building the houses you live in
Get calling to everyone listen
We are
Chorus
All over Scottland
Have you met the fierce Irish nation
As it is all throughout England
What you want is a Welshman beside you
Chorus
All over Scottland
Have you met the fierce Irish nation
As it is all throughout England
What you want is a Welshman beside you
