lirik lagu carsie blanton - you ain’t done nothing (if you ain’t been called a red)
[verse 1]
when i was just a little kid, i used to love parades
the banners, bands, and red balloons, and even lemonade
but i came home one labor day, my neighbor’s father said:
“them marches is all commies! tell me, kid, are you a red?”
[verse 2]
well, i didn’t know just what he meant — my hair back then was brown
our house was plain and yellow like the others in the town
so i went and asked my mama why our neighbor called me red
she sat me down upon her knee, and this is what she said:
[chorus]
“well, you ain’t done nothin’ if you ain’t been called a red!
if you’ve marched or agitated, then you’re bound to hear it said
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
’cause you ain’t been doin’ nothin’ if you ain’t been called a red!”
[verse 3]
well, i moved into the city with a good friend that i had
we had a lousy, rotten landlord — let me tell you, he was bad
but when he tried to throw us out, i clapped my hands and said:
“you haven’t seen a struggle if you haven’t fought a red!”
[chorus]
and you ain’t done nothin’ if you ain’t been called a red!
if you’ve marched or agitated, then you’re bound to hear it said
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
’cause you ain’t been doin’ nothin’ if you ain’t been called a red!”
[verse 4]
well, i kept on organizing — because what else can you do?
are you gonna let this sons of b~tches walk all over you?
our fight for liberation, and as far as i can see
if that’s what bein’ red is, then it’s good enough for me!
[chorus]
and you ain’t done nothin’ if you ain’t been called a red!
if you’ve marched or agitated, then you’re bound to hear it said
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
’cause you ain’t been doin’ nothin’ if you ain’t been called a
ain’t been called a red!
