I hope to get a band, probably called Galaxia, Red Day or Red Friday, together soon. In the meantime, I have done some new recordings of seven songs I wrote, six of which were previously unrecorded and a new version of my most important song "The World Is Planned". The sound quality is not bad, despite them being recorded on my mobile phone, and they are only about 1MB each in size (as MP3 files which should play on most computers). You can find them (as well as others I recorded in February/March) on my Socialist Musical Poetry page, at www.socialiststeve.me.uk/poetry.htm.

The World Is Planned

Written by Steve Wallis

Version 2, 4/12/2007

The original version of this song, which I wrote and recorded in March 2007, was badly flawed because it suggested that the world was entirely planned with no scope for the free will of individuals to affect society. This version corrects that flaw and brings it up-to-date. I have recorded this version of the song as a musical poem, in MP3 format.

CHORUS:
Can you understand
That the world is planned?
But free will has a hand
In the struggle for every land!

There are conspiracies on each side
One ensured that Princess Diana died
She could have become a bride
Of a Muslim, turning the tide
Against hatred and war
And oppression of the poor

Don’t be fatalistic
Be bold but realistic
We can all affect society
And help put an end to misery

CHORUS

To get the rich off our backs
Try to force them to pay tax
The loopholes are very lax
Let’s open up the cracks
Conspiracies are now in our favour
We may even split New Labour

CHORUS

Our trust is being abused
Computer modelling is used
By forces good and bad
Let’s get even not just mad

The press is conducting a campaign of hate
Big business does not want an independent Scottish state
It’d be a step towards a socialist society
A reversal of the bosses’ daylight robbery

They promote gambling with the National Lottery
And make money out of us very easily
But gambling on the stock market
No longer always makes a profit

CHORUS

The tables are turning
The working class is learning
The middle class is also yearning
For a change our rulers are spurning

We won’t put up with it any more
Let’s end poverty, environmental destruction and war!

Life for some is grey
But we all have a say
We are on our way
To a brighter day

CHORUS

They control the weather
Let’s defeat them together
If good Muslims, Christians and Jews
Unite with other good people, we can’t lose

Muslims believe Jesus was great
So oppose those who spread messages of hate
Whether they are politicians, fascists
Or religious fundamentalists

CHORUS
