IDLES - Great

In 'Great', the sincerely fun UK hardcore band IDLES extends a hand to working class England and asks the people to consider that life could actually be great if we stopped blaming & closing doors and realise we're in this together. It's really great.

From the upcoming album "Joy as an act of resistance".

Directed by Theo Watkins

GREAT Blighty wants his country back / Fifty-inch screen in his cul-de-sac / Wombic charm of the Union Jack / As he cries at the price of a bacon bap / Islam didn’t eat your hamster / Change isn’t a crime / So won't you take my hand sir / And sing with me in time / G R E A T / Blighty wants her blue passport /Not quite sure what the union’s for / Burning bridges and closing doors / Not sure what she sees on the seashore / Islam didn’t eat your hamster / Change isn’t a crime / So won't you take my hand sister / And sing with me in time / G R E A T / You can have it all, I don’t mind / Just get ready to work overtime / ‘Cause we’re all in this together.
