Battle of the Beanfield Lyrics

Member Name: the edge
Real Name: Alan Kells
i thought i heard something .. calling me .. i've seen the
pictures on T.V .. and i made up my mind that i'd go and
see with my own eyes.. it didn't take too
long to hitch a ride .. with a guy going south to start a
new life .. past the place where my friend died two years ago.
Down the three-o-three at the end of the road...
flashing lights .. exclusion zones .. and it made me think
its not just the stones that they are gaurding...
Hey .. now cant you see ... theres nothing here
that you can call free .. they're getting their kicks
they're laughing at you and me...
For all you lightwights that don't know what it is about ...
The lovely police ... Nice men and women that they are decided
that a certain number of peace loving individuals should not
be allowed access to a festival ground near stone hendge....
There had been a festival on the site for years (untill 1983
that is ... ) when the police beat everyone cr*pless ..
very nice of them if you ask me ... and decided that the
festival goers which actually just a bunch of annoying hippies
to be pushed around when ever a bored policeman/woman had
nothing better to do...
and so they did exactly that ... and ever since there has been
no free festival there... (but one VERY close to it)...
Isn't it nice to know that you live in a free country ..
