Lyrics " Trafalgar Square "

Original text with translation

Trafalgar Square

David Rovics

The president came to London

And was greeted by the queen

And for the people of the city

It was a festive scene

Hundreds of thousands of women and men

Were all in the street

Shouting and dancing and talking

And marching on their feet

But the highest peak of the evening

To be only fair

Was when the statue of George Bush was toppled

In Trafalgar Square

Those days in London

It was the place to be

Young and old, black and white

It was the face of society

Even the mayor came out

And called him a criminal of war

Said world domination

Ain’t worth fighting for

They said we don’t like Dubya

Or his poodle, Tony Blair

On the day the statue of George Bush was toppled

In Trafalgar Square

The night sky was lit up

And the message it was clear

We do not want fascism

Over there or over here

It was heard first-hand by many

Right there on British soil

We will not fight for Exxon

We won’t kill or die for oil

But for billions around the planet

We were all right there

When the statue of George Bush was toppled

In Trafalgar Square
