Verse
A# C
When I was just a little thing I used to love parades
F A#
with banners, bands and red balloons and maybe lemonade
A# C
when I came home one mayday my neighbours father said
F A#
them marchers is all commies tell me kid are you a red?
[Verse 2]
A# C
well, I didnt know just what he meant my hair back then was brown
F A#
our house was plain red brick like most others in the town
A# C
so I went and asked my mamma why our neighbour called me red
F A#
my mummy took me on her knee and this is what she said
[Chorus]
A# C
Well you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
F A#
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
A# C
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
F A#
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 3]
A# C
When I was growin' up, had my troubles I suppose
F A#
when someone took exception to my face or to my clothes
A# C
or tried to cheat me on a job or hit me on the head
F A#
when I organised to fight back why the stinkers called me red
[Chorus]
A# C
But you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
F A#
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
A# C
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
F A#
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 4]
A# C
When I was livin' on my own one apartment that I had
F A#
had a lousy rotten landlord let me tell ya he was bad
A# C
but when he tried to throw me out I rubbed my hands and said
F A#
you haven't seen a struggle if you haven't fought a red!
[Chorus]
A# C
And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
F A#
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
A# C
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
F A#
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 5]
A# C
Well I kept on agitatin', cause what else can you do?
F A#
you're gonna let the sons of bitches walk all over you
A# C
my friends said you'll get fired, hanging with that commie mob
F A#
I should be so lucky buddy, I ain't got a job
[Chorus]
A# C
And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
F A#
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
A# C
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
F A#
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 6]
A# C
Well I've been agitatin' now for fifty years or more
F A#
for jobs or for equality and always against war
A# C
I'll keep on agitatin' as far as I can see
F A#
and if that's what being red is then It's good enough for me
[Chorus]
A# C
'Cause you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
F A#
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
A# C
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
F A#
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
