The World Turned Upside Down live from Rote Lieder 1998 - Billy Bragg 

Such a killer song, and one that still gets me fired up today. "You poor take courage, you rich take care" ✊

Most of Billys lyrics make the hair on my neck stand up , sometimes with anger at the way are things were and are and sometimes with sadness at the way things were and are being a 60 odd something who remembers the 70s and 80s here in England albeit as a young naive person.

Billy in my view will always be the people's poet. The vision will never cease.

He bloody nailed it, what a great song, thank you very much for sharing this

What a tune!

Danke für‘s teilen! Die Aufnahme ist, soweit ich mich erinnere aber von 1988. Ich war bei einem der Konzerte die Billy dort gab. Es war für mich einer der entscheidenden Momente im Leben. Ich stand sofort in Flammen und dachte: „ja, er gibt uns eine Stimme…“ Eins der prägenden musikalischen Erlebnisse in meinem Leben.

Back then, I lived on the other side of town from Saint George's Hill. The not so posh side. Billy Bragg's lyrics really hit the spot for me. Them and us. The haves and have-nots. This song changed my life.

Yes, the song is from 1988 in the GDR.

Uma mega responsabilidade e coragem que o acompanhou até os dias de hoje

Billy, were you using a flanger?

Great version of Leo Rosellson song
