Lyrics:
Manichean times, have you heard the rumors of war? 
The blind lead the blind and the truth ain’t truth anymore 
The poets warned about the coming storm 
No one reads books these days 
Conspiracy and illiteracy have taken their place 
 
Love insurrection 
Love insurrection 
We’re lost and we need direction 
We need a love insurrection 
 
Manichean times test us all 
What do we believe? 
When we punish the poor for being poor 
And celebrate greed 
Should the hungry be fed and housed and protected from markets? 
Should wealth be shared? 
Shall we lay down our flags and our banners 
And all the things that divide us… 
And all the anger inside us… 
 
Love insurrection 
Love insurrection 
We’re lost and we need direction 
I’m praying for a love insurrection 
 
In the country of the blind 
The one-eyed man is King 
The Planet’s on fire  
And peace remains a dream 
Where you gonna run when the humiliated multitudes rise? 
When you gonna hide when the steel rain fall from the sky? 
Are you ready to die for that pie in the sky? 
 
Love insurrection 
Love insurrection 
We’re losing and we need direction 
I’m praying for a love insurrection 
 
Sisters and brothers estranged from each other  
Divided and ruled , taken for fools 
Love and democracy versus plutocracy 
This could be heaven, it’s hell where we’re heading 
 
Love insurrection 
Love insurrection 
We’re lost and we need direction 
We need a love insurrection 
 
Dicono che siamo impossibilisti 
Sognatori romantici 
Non ancora cresciuti  
Le nostre richieste ingenue e stupide 
Le nostre credenze una religione fallita 
Ma come è certo che il sole domani sorgerà così faranno i figli del futuro contro ingiustizie, rabbia e crudeltà  
L’animo umano non sarà mai sconfitto. 
Viva l’amore! 
No pasaràn! 
 
They say we are impossiblists  
Romantic dreamers 
Not yet grown up 
Our demands naive and foolish 
Our beliefs a failed religion 
But as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow morning 
So will the children of the future 
Against iniquity, hunger and cruelty 
The human spirit cannot be beaten  
Viva love! 
No pasaran!

Love this! Primal Scream in a perfect late 80s Style Council vibe.

[Patrick-fmdk]

Bobby’s turning into John Cooper Clarke!

[DianeCooperTW]

So good tou guys are still releasing music. I find their music so relaxing

[hobnoblegend]

If this was made by a mainstream radio artist, or someone the younger lot knew; I guarantee this would get a lot more love than it’s gonna get.
Absolute banger. Perfect beers in the garden tune. It’s got a right Happy Mondays vibe, with some Ian-Brown-like lyrics.
Gotta dig out Second Coming now, ain’t I.

[stfranckmusic]

Bobby and the folks catching the perfect zeitgeist ...

[MartiKronen]

Master's of music, do it Masterpiece.

[thewildbirds]

It's when the flutes and strings hit that lifts this above landfill waka-waka doo into something sublime. Will be dropping this next week. Late summer anthem, leaves turning, dancing in cardigans, bonfire smoke, jugs of old fashioneds.

[KOBEKINO]

Sr Weatherall baja que queremos un remix en condiciones!

[mathanmor]

Dystopian futures belie the heart's perpetual radiance ...

[Sherri_Lynn]

Funky-Soul-Pop connections nicely woven, , , Love the flutes & strings on this Tune!! Who's on the Keys / Synths?? Fab Vibes PrimalScream

[gigsfunk]

Sounds like we are getting a Scream political funk album, im all for it ✌🏻

[briaredpath]

Beautiful song and production is stunning the strings and message is sublime ✨🕊✨

[themarkedman]

Soul music, nice. Not groundbreaking like the seminal late 80s work, but a good song. Nothing trumps good songwriting.

[iansmith]

Lyrically this is the most important song since God Save The Queen.

Everyone must hear this song.

Thanks Bobby for writing what no one else is.

[PopeSaltyI]

I'm convinced that the instructions for how to build a time machine are hidden somewhere in this song. Next stop: Haçienda, 1991. All aboard!

[gregoryspevack]

Sounds like Nile Rogers on guitar. Sounds a like lot Good Times by Chic

[joeyintheuk]

The Primal Scream has been reduced to a hamster’s squeak.
