Manic Street Preachers
Let Robeson Sing (Ian Brown Remix)
[Chorus]
A voice so pure
A vision so clear
I've got to learn to live like you
Learn to sing like you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Where are you now?
Broken up or still around?
The CIA says you're a guilty man
Will we see the likes of you again?
Can anyone make a difference anymore?
Can anyone write a protest song?
Pinky lefty revolutionary
Burnt at the stake for?
[Chorus]
A voice so pure
A vision so clear
I've got to learn to live like you
Learn to sing like you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Went to Cuba to meet Castro
Nevеr got past sleepy Moscow
A giant man with a heavenly voice
MK Ultra turnеd you paranoid
No passport until 1958
McCarthy poisoned through with hate
Liberty lost, still buried today
Beneath the lie of the USA
[Chorus]
A voice so pure
A vision so clear
I've got to learn to live like you
Learn to sing like you
[Rap: Ian Brown]
Pass the mic, believe the hype
JDB is flying the kite
Come in to the valley where the sun don't shine
Standing in the shadow of a colliery mine
Face the mic, I'm a righteous type
I'm a night time sleeper, a day time creature
Playing in Cuba like a Manic Street Preacher
Teacher, teacher, turn off the preacher
Rockin' in Havana like a Manic Street Preacher
Rockin' in Havana like a Manic Street Preacher preacher, preacher, preacher, preacher...
[Chorus]
A voice so pure
A vision so clear
I've got to learn to live like you
Learn to sing like you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Haaa aahhh
Haaa aahhh
Sing it loud
Sing it proud
I will be heard
I will be found
Sing it loud
Sing it proud
I will be heard
I will be found
Sing it loud
Sing it proud
I will be heard
I will be found
