Animal Farm Soundtrack: 5 - It Can Be Done! by The Redskins

The final song in my Animal Farm soundtrack is It Can be Done! by the band, The Redskins. I had never heard of the band before i found this song, and to be honest, as I looked into their other music, I didn't really enjoy it. That being said, I think this song is a perfect choice to end the soundtrack.
Much of the time, what you here about the ideas of communism aren't very positive; the history of the system doesn't help its reputation very much. Yet, at the same time, I think it is important to not dwell simply on the negatives, but to end on a positive note. This song does that well I think. Although I don't fully agree with the message of the song...

Lyrics

Russia sparked the fires in 1917
First workers revolution
The first workers revolution in history
Working people forced the bosses' backs against the wall
First steps taken for a better life for all
It's a shame
It's a crying shame
When our past is buried
And our victories go un-named
It's a crying shame
When our history books
Talk of kings & men of fame
And in another country workers rose again
1919, 1919 in Berlin
But they didn't learn the lessons
From the Russians that they should
Revolution, revolution was drowned in blood
It's a crying shame
But the lessons plain
It's a crying shame
But the lessons plain
All things are possible
Hunger of the 30's
Hunger of the 30's back again
And the rich still rich
And the poor still the same as they ever were
And it seems to me
We're still not learning from our history
And it's a crying shame
Those who hold the future hold themselves in chains
It's a crying shame
Those who bear the pain hold themselves to blame
It's a crying, it's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
Look at Petrograd!
Look at Barcelona
Fight against the land
Fight against the land & the factory owners
Same fight today against another ruling class
Learn a lesson from your past
It's a crying shame
But the lessons plain
It's a crying shame
But the lessons plain
It can happen again
It's a crying, crying, crying shame
But the lessons plain
It can be done again!
