He’s got his jumpsuit on
He’s out there on the lawn
He’s coming down your chimney
They’ve got that mistletoe
And there’s that bird you know
There’s roast beef, and there’s gravy
What’s a hard left boy or girl to do?
How do you know when you’ve had enough of being screwed?
Just when things are really thin
Just when things are feeling grim
They’ll bring the skinheads home for Xmas
What’s a hard left boy or girl to do?
Radio Hard Left, signal’s coming through
Just when things are really thin
Just when things are feeling grim
They’ll bring the skinheads home for Xmas

Yesterday's Hero

When I walk down the street,
See the people who stop and stare and say
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago
When I walk down the street,
See the stranger who says, "Why, Hi,"
With a, "How you going, Buddy,"
When you walked on by I thought I'd say hello
They say:
Haven't I seen your face before
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door,
Weren't you on television ev'ry night
Haven't I seen you round
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
YESTERDAY'S HERO, that's all I be.
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
And YESTERDAY'S HERO, is all that I'm gonna be
If I don't get together,
Make a new start and be somebody better,
All that I'll be if I don't get together now.
When you walk down the street, now,
If you know me, then pass me by,
If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why,
I don't read the news
When you walk down the street,
If you're sorry then don't feel bad,
If you followed my story, then just be glad,
You ain't in my shoes
Because,
Haven't you seen my face before,
Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door,
Yes, I was on television ev'ry night,
Haven't you seen me round.
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO, YESTERDAY'S HERO ...

Hard Left Oakland, California
Hard Left is a political punk band inspired by liberatory leftist movements of the past and present. Our music is a soundtrack for direct action, an invitation to critical thought and a challenge to complacency. We privilege the "we" over the "I" and argue for the centrality of class struggle in our collective battle against neoliberalism, authoritarianism and imperialism. ... more

Bridging Electricity
by Lost Legion
Hard-charging street punk with searing riffs and anthemic, shout-along choruses from Chicago's Lost Legion.
go to album
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time.

Its Mick Trouble's Second LP
by MICK TROUBLE
supported by 12 fans who also own “Skinheads Home For Christmas”
This is Jed Sm... I mean Mick Trouble at the absolute height of his powers. Mick is the master of chiming guitars, expert melodicism (including in the bass parts), and songs that simultaneously make you ecstatic and angry at Thatcher (or whoever the Thatcher analog is in your life situation). Best album of the year.
