The first song (100 years ago tomorrow) is soooo amazing. I would like to play it on bandura, but can't find the lyrics (and no sign of chords). And, unfortunately, my English isn't good enough to catch every word and write down the lyrics by ear. If you have lyrics or at least you can write it, please, share! Thank you so much!
Get up, I'm ready and I'm able Just want to put food on my table I don't ask for very much My rent's gone up, and my wages are going Down town You see them in their suits They look down On us and all we do, but We are those that really pay For that shirt and coat and that big warm house And 100 years ago tomorrow We were getting on a boat We were singing hold the fort Hold yourselves up proud and tall And after all this time it still is hard to see But the guns are aimed at me And if someone's gonna bleed You can bet who will be the ones to fall Go on, preach a little more, but Last year, 8 factories closed their doors For good You do the math We can't pay more than the market will Allow Me to introduce myself I live here, I am not from somewhere else And I am not a violent man But if you're looking for trouble than trouble you'll find And 100 years ago tomorrow We were waiting on a boat Just protecting our own, looking out for the lives we know And after all this time you think you'd start to see (that) It's either you or me So you better pack and leave because You know I will die before I go ^There you go!
The title track does a really good job of showing both sides of a really nasty conflict. (Heard the radio performance.)

Get up, I'm ready and I'm able
Just want to put food on my table
I don't ask for very much
My rent's gone up, and my wages are going
Down town
You see them in their suits
They look down
On us and all we do, but
We are those that really pay
For that shirt and coat and that big warm house
And 100 years ago tomorrow
We were getting on a boat
We were singing hold the fort
Hold yourselves up proud and tall
And after all this time it still is hard to see
But the guns are aimed at me
And if someone's gonna bleed
You can bet who will be the ones to fall
Go on, preach a little more, but
Last year, 8 factories closed their doors
For good
You do the math
We can't pay more than the market will
Allow
Me to introduce myself
I live here, I am not from somewhere else
And I am not a violent man
But if you're looking for trouble than trouble you'll find
And 100 years ago tomorrow
We were waiting on a boat
Just protecting our own, looking out for the lives we know
And after all this time you think you'd start to see
(that) It's either you or me
So you better pack and leave because
You know I will die before I go
^There you go!
