I need equal rights and justice (Peter Tosh)

Den här veckan ska vi inte kunna fråga oss varför det är så ont om Q. Vi ska nämligen bara posta låtar med Q! Om du har egna låtar på temat, skicka dem gärna till mig så lägger jag till i spellistan här

Peter Tosh – “Equal Rights” (1977)

En klassisk kamplåt av Tosh. Belyser kampen för rättvisa.

Tosh berättar själv (intervjuad av Eric Olsen) :
What is your goal?
“To promote equal rights and justice for every man.”
What will happen when this goal is reached?
“The flowers will bloom and the pollution will go away. There will be fresh air and no pestilence. Man has created these things for experimental purposes to promote death and advance technology. But soon the earth will tilt on its axis and begin to dance to the reggae beat to the accompaniment of earthquake. And who can resist the dance of the earthquake, mon?”

Är det kanske den punkten vi börjar närma oss nu?

“Everyone is crying out for peace, yes
None is crying out for justice
Everyone is crying out for peace, yes
None is crying out for justice
I don’t want no peace
I need equal rights and justice
I need equal rights and justice
I need equal rights and justice
Got to get it
Equal rights and justice
Everybody want to go to heaven
But nobody want to die (father of Jesus)
Everybody want to go to up to heaven
But none o them, none o them want to die”
