    1979, Argentine.
    The song sounded in all the discos.
    We were dancing a deep protest song all the time and we didn't know it.
    We were so young, so ignorant, so stupid.


    1.979, Argentina.
    La canción sonaba en todas las discotecas.
    Estuvimos todo el tiempo bailando una profunda canción de protesta y no lo sabíamos.
    Éramos tan jóvenes, tan ignorantes, tan estúpidos.

  36. R.... ....

    This song used to inspire us in the 80s as we fought Indonesian occupation of Timor-Leste. We too were born at the wrong time and on the front line. So much better now for Timor's youth.

  37. d.... t....

    Fantastic voice,fantastic music.

  38. g.... y....

    love this to death ,gave guy with dementia will to carry on,me too.

  39. H.... R....

    As I enjoy this badass song, smoking a blunt, I can't help but notice the comments, everyone talking about the days when this melody was playing on the radio, or the pubs, or the disco, then I smile as I am forced to take notice this song never hit the U.S., the U.S. refused to play this melody, #blinders

    H.... R....

    Hey it played on the Caribbean Radio Station WLIB 1190 AM New York. The Imhotep Gary Bird Show and it was so inspiring. In those days if you were a conscious person you were mentally and literally on the front line every day you left your house. And the Bass is a killer. The words are healthy for people facing oppression or any adversity

  40. P.... ....

    I underrated Eddy Grant until I heard this tune! Real rockers music 🖖

  55. P.... C....

    Along with steel pulse and black uhuru you fucking made me dance eddy. Thanks .this song is a fucking classic.

  56. P.... L....

    The truth cannot be denied! Then they all sounded like boastful conformers! Surely it is a good song and he has several but what a insult to the many many reggae artist, much music and blessed straight and narrow path never to achieve commercial success. Why? Because the focus of evils seed is on the negative. I implore you all to research your likings and listen to reggae in abundance.

  57. T.... B....

    Love this intro. Reminds me of a reggae cassette we had in the 90's when I were a lad

  75. s.... ....

    I remember this track my dad had it on vinyl and I just found it

  76. R.... J....

    Although this predated the infamous 1981 riots by two years,the Frontline = Railton Road,Coldharbour Lane,Brixton referenced here?,and Electric Avenue in another of his songs in 1982-83.

    R.... J....

    Interesting observation there Ralph

    But I also remember reference to the Toxteth riots of 1981

    Why , because my Dad was a well known owner of a certain Establishment at That time in Liverpool City Centre.

    Ill give you a clue, the then Police Commissioner of Merseyside Police was a Guy Named Kenneth Oxford ( Now a Sir)

    And he told Dad that the Said Club is now in " Lock Down"

    I was 16 years of age at the time when these high ranking bobbies walked into Dads Club, thinking its a raid ;)

    R.... J....

    +Paul Williams I was 16 at that time as well,but not as close to the excitement kicking off then as you were!

    R.... J....

    He's a hackney man, so could have been sandringham rd

    R.... J....

    although one of his songs is electric avenue

  77. J.... S....

    I have been searching for this. Thank you so much.

  78. M.... L....

    I remember this being played every morning at 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning for about three months solid on Radio London back when it came out. The lyrics were ingrained in my mind as a kid, and they have seriously shaped my view of the world ever since.
