Innocent Blood - Grenadian Revolutionary Song - Video
PUBLISHED:  Mar 13, 2017
DESCRIPTION:
For the anniversary of the Grenadian Revolution I have managed to get a hold of a song I've been looking for since I made my Grenadian Communist Music video. This song may not even exist in its entirety on the internet, because I actually only managed to get this recording by going directly to the singer himself. He was kind enough to go through the trouble of tracking it down for me. It took him a while to find this song, so my heartfelt thanks go out to Flying Turkey for providing me with this recording.

Incomplete lyrics:
This song is dedicated to all
Heroes and patriots who fall.
This song is a song called innocent blood as I was saying.

In a revolution some people are weak
While others are strong.
Listen to my song.
Listen, listen to my song. x2
The weak turn to counter-revolution,
Subversion, and destabilization.
It's the strong ones who stand firm and make things right,
Show to the weak why we must unite.
The weak, them, they don't know
Who they fighting for.
Moving aimlessly, in a senseless war,
Murdering their people,
Innocent, along the way.
But we go whip them,
So listen when I say:

Chorus:
They don't care about the children
In this here time,
They don't care about the children,
Oh no.
They don't care about the children
I say they preaching war.
They don't care about the children
Say, what they kill them for?
(They don't care about the children)
Bernadette, Laurice, and Laureen.
(They don't care about the children)
Bernadette, Laurice, and Laureen.
(They don't care about the children)
Singing Bernadette, Laurice, and Laureen.
(They don't care about the children)
Bernadette, Laurice, and Laureen.

In a revolution some people are right
While others are wrong.
Listen to my song.
Listen, listen to my song. x2
The wrong always feel like they have it right,
That they are correct, so they want to fight.
Listen, listen to my song. x2
It's the right ones to lead them and show them the way,
They get more confused each and every day.
Their opportunism and reaction too.
Show, these, our brothers, their dirty works to do.
Turn them into robots, puppets on a string.
They kill their own sisters,
And they don't care a thing.

Chorus

In a revolution there will be progress,
Pain, sorrow, and fun.
Listen to my song.
Listen, listen to my song. x2
The joy of the years will be mixed with tears,
Bitter and sweet, as we move along.
The genuine ones stand firm to the end,
We understand we must defend.
But in 1980, the 19th of June,
Imperialism, on that afternoon,
It raised a cruel hand,
And innocent blood get shed.
And our Bernadette, Laurice, and Laureen are all dead.

Chorus

Look what they do to Alister,
Tell my why they do that for.
Alister's blood was innocent blood.
Rupert Bishop, he was innocent too.
I say, innocent blood spill in Angola.
Innocent blood spill in Jamaica.
Innocent blood spill in Havana.
Innocent blood spill in Grenada.
Innocent blood in Guatemala.
Innocent blood in Nicaragua.
Innocent blood in El Salvador.
Innocent blood spill in Vietnam.

Tiddliepam pa tiddy pam pa, stop the tribal war!
Tiddliepam pa tiddy pam pa, stop the tribal war!
I tell you, war leaves scars.
The poor people were going in a car,
They pick up them gun and they open fire.
I tell you, murder on the land!
I tell you, say, a murder on the land!
The black people, you should never, never fight.
Sometimes, you know, you got to defend your rights.
I say go there with your tribal war, yeah,
Go there with your tribal war.
You keep on shooting everybody down.
You keep on shooting everybody down.
I tell you, say, you wouldn't see the rising sun.
I tell you, say, you wouldn't see the rising sun.

Harold Strachan was innocent blood.
Stranislaus blood was innocent blood.
Walter Rodney blood was innocent blood.
Steve Biko blood was innocent blood.
Romero blood was innocent blood.
Lalsee blood was innocent blood.
Courtney blood was innocent blood.
Evon Charles blood was innocent blood.

I say to love your little brother like you love your little sister.
Love your little brother like you love your little sister.
I say to live lovin' everyone.
I say to live lovin' everyone.
Say, everyone got to deal with love.
Say, everyone got to deal with love.
The people in agree they'd all feel alright.
The people in agree they not all in a rush to fight.
I say, we got to get this right.
Until this day, we got to get this right.
So I [...] the control tower.
So I [...] the microphone.
So keep on loving each and every day.
So keep on loving each and every day.
You hear what the brother would say.
Until this day, you hear what the brother would say.
You got to [...] each end every time as I would say,
Yeah [...]
