  • does anyone know tabs/chords for this song? cheers

  • @ henkin, you're correct, we should all just shut ourselves out from all forms of media and ways of making money. Billy Bragg's been around a long time and has tons of fans so of course he's going to be wealthier than your average Joe but this is nothing at all like sports sponsorships etc...this isn't against Commercialism, commerce is essential even in Communism, it's against extreme Capitalism in which Corporations try to take part in every aspect of our lives.

  • Movie making is just as much an art form as music. just because a corporation owns the rights to the movie doesnt mean that the writer doesnt share the beleifs of the song. why else would he put it in the movie? maybe hes just as sick of it as everyone else and put the song in the movie to spread the message, wich in my opinion is an important one.

  • I like

  • It's more than a little ironic that this song -- ostensibly a criticism of commercial advertising -- is itself a commercial advertisement for a f@#king movie. Pitiful. Hypocritical. Pathetic.

  • I agree, I love Billy Bragg but this is just sad...

  • does anyone have a download of this song i kinda need one lol stuck in ma head along with the other one

    love the movie !!!!!

  • and can the movie the promo is ADVERTISING be as bad as the song?probably. oh its a f*cking long way from new england .

  • at least it gets a message out to a wide audience, plus he is on anti records which is part of epitaph which is an indie label do your research before you try and put down the bragg, at least he is trying what the fuck have you done?

  • aint gonna buy it? dear billy bought the new labour manifesto and told us all to go out an vote for Tony...What else will he buy? sorry but i was a long time fan till that night at rock city...gotta realise the worst person to vote for is a polititian!

  • so are they going to give us a free vote on the leadership of the Labour party?

    and stop the betrayal of the working class

  • Bed Bath and Bullshit your bullshit

  • lyrics are awsome

  • Will definitely do a go-see. I keep hoping the Aliens are watching and will intervene and save us from ourselves. I don't envision things changing anyday soon, do you?

  • Billy Bragg's got it right. The need for GREED is gonna kill us.

    Great tune.

  • you need to see helboy 2 the elf prince dude thing explains it alot more thourghly for some reason lol

  • HellBoy 2...haven't seen it yet. Now I'm intrigued. I should have figured it'd be great with delToro Gomez involved...check out The Orphanage. He touched that film too, an amazing work of art.

  • oh in my opinion its one of the greatest comic book adaptions i've seen though it doesn't stick to the comics the characters are amazing and the creatures as well but the elf thing talks a lot about human greed and corruption

  • Greed is the worst addiction in America.

  • yes indeed. i tend to be the worst. :( i try to fix it though.

  • It's more than a little ironic that this song -- ostensibly a criticism of commercial advertising -- is itself a commercial advertisement for a f@#king movie. Pitiful. Hypocritical. Pathetic.

  • $21 tickets for 4

    $5 popcorn

    $9 drinks (unless you sneak them in & pop em)

    that's $35 for a family night out at movies

    so actors can make $20M per flick to moan about CEOS that make $10M and support NGLCC org.

    or $1.20 of a monthly rental subscription

  • dude chill they had already let anna faris sing the songs for the movie that billy had wrote so they just said hey could you play the music and at least it was an independent studio not like wb or shit like that

  • Nice song,movie also!

  • Wow... Very good

  • a seen that movie....Mama's baby its not that good but it got good songs by Billy Bragg and Morrissey

  • If the new album sounds like this, I'll be overjoyed (and surprised).

  • Nice! Wow.. wasn't expecting this. Really looking forward to the new Bragg album next year.
