lyrics

Don't let the bastards grind you down, you'll be aright
Better to keep the faith and put up a good fight
Don't let the bastards bring you down, you'll be ok
Winning every little day
Every little victory

Don't let the bastards wind you up and put you down
Never let them get in through to you is what I've found
Don't let the bastards grind you down, you'll be ok
Winning every day
Every little victory

'Cos I got hope in my heart
Everyday, It's like I make a brand new start
And I got faith in my dreams
My prayer is closer, not as far as it seems

I GOT HOPE

Don't let the bastards pass on you and write you off
Better to walk away with pride, you've had enough
Don't let the bastards brush you off, you'll be ok
You can fight another day
Win another victory

You can beat the powers that be
Yeah, you can be a star

'Cos I got hope in my heart
Every day I can make a brand new start
I got faith in my dreams
My future's closer and not as far as it seems
'Cos I got hope in my heart
Every day, it's like I make a brand new start
I got faith in my dreams
My future's brighter and not as dark as it been

I GOT HOPE

D:Ream

Peter Cunnah & Al Mackenzie made their name in the early 90's, having several top ten singles including hitting number 1 with 'Things Can Only Get Better'. They remixed Duran Duran, EMF and Debbie harry, amongst others, also. They're back and doing it their own way, on their own label and not pandering to the sharks that are ruining the music industry.
Jump in, it could be fun. ... more
