Throw A Brick - Tim OT

Follow me on twitter @timotmusic

Lyrics:

You're walking down the road,
with hair of different colours
with a sign in one hand
and a brick in the other

There's lots on the cards
so aim high and throw hard,
you'll change the world in a small way
but big enough to laugh

when we're screaming
and shouting in
london town

when we're screaming
and they're shooting at
anything that moves
i know what to do

i'll throw a brick for you

when you stomp and march
with a thousand angry men
they may look ready but they are scared
and you'll win in the end

your mohawks like a dagger
in the heart of all thats evil
you're ammunition for the press
but lord knows we still need you

take this song as fuel
for the fire in your sun
or just words from a fan,
of everything you've done

when we're screaming
and shouting in
london town

when we're screaming
and they're shooting at
anything that moves
i know what to do

i'll throw a brick for you

PS Don't use this song as an excuse to hurl bricks at people.

Eventhough you are middle-class you are still entitled to express your views. You're very cute, do you have girl/boyfriend?

[redjacketindiehat]

@elliottbarbara1 thanks :) i'll get in trouble if i answer that question

[informationretrieval]

You got some talent there! Though 'Throw a brick' does have connotations of violent protest, which is just what the authorities want. Peaceful no-violent protest is the best way so great talent thou thumbs down for song....peace!

[redjacketindiehat]

@informationretrieval thanks for the feedback,

i feel regretful that i didn't put this song accros the way i wanted to.

The song is metaphorical. i'm not a protestor, i'm just speaking about the need for a strong opposition and my respect for the resistance! i've never thrown a brick and i never will.

peace x

Middle class lifestyle anarchism.

"When we're screaming [and shouting in London Town] - and they're shooting at anything that moves"

Really ? You want to be actually shot at, it's truly terrifying, but it really doesn't happen in 'London Town'.

What's emblematic about this song is that it's a song about protest, not about causes, surface over content, which is reflective of the whole Occupy movement, the fetishisation of process over cause.

Nice voice and playing though.

@smallblueclouds I can sympathize with your comment a lot more now after studying it haha, spot on. thanks for the kind words x

[redjacketindiehat]

@smallblueclouds thanks for the feedback - like i always say, any feedback is good feedback to me :)

i do over dramatise things, i am middle class and i'm not perfect. I'm NOT an anarchist, if you want to know more about me and my politics, there'es a interview you can read - art transforms the system (link on my channel under about me)

peace n love x

> "You call a prioritization of process over cause a fetish"

Yes, the actual goals of Occupy seem secondary (or even arbitrary) - the focus seems to be on the ritual of protest.

> "you like to believe that you are logical and if you can keep things clear in your head you feel satisfied"

Agreed, that's right.

> "If you become obsessed with causes you will get stuck in an analytically infinite loop"

Nonsense, defining and pursuing a cause is not some metaphysical conundrum.

[Fraw24]

@smallblueclouds You call a prioritization of process over cause a fetish in an attempt to belittle it, probably on a sub conscious level, to try and prevent a conflict of interests in your self, because you like to believe that you are logical and if you can keep things clear in your head you feel satisfied.

Everything exists as part of something else. No light without dark, no heat without cold. If you become obsessed with causes you will get stuck in an analytically infinite loop.
