about

This track was both played by Tom Robinson of BBC 6 Music on his show and included in his BBC Introducing Mixtape. It was also played & praised by Alan Raw on BBC Radio Leeds and is now being featured on regional stations across the UK.

SUPPORT EQUALITY

We originally made this track available in support of the Occupy protesters. In the wake of the declining Occupy movement we’ve had to reconsider where to lend our support. In the spirit of the movement we’ve chosen The Equality Trust – an organisation dedicated to campaigning for more equal societies across the globe backed by solid evidence.

If you buy this track Fold will donate 75% of the profits to The Equality Trust. Why more equality? Read the evidence: www.equalitytrust.org.uk/why

lyrics

Mr President, we’re in trouble.

It’s clear that the true problems of our nation are much deeper… deeper than gasoline lines or energy shortages – deeper, even, than inflation or recession.

Too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption.
Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but by what one owns.

And we’ve discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning.
We’ve learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.

Mr President, we’re in trouble.

What can we do?
First of all, we must face the truth and then we can change our course.
If you lead Mr President, we will follow.
