Get Back (song)
(Redirected from Get Back)
Get Back the 1968 song by the Beatles was originally recorded as a protest against Pakistani mass immigration into Great Britain. The Beatles inspiration was the famous Rivers of Blood speech given a few day earlier by House of Commons member Enoch Powell who warned the British people of the coming danger of non-white immigration into Great Britain.
Original anti-immigrant lyrics
- Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged. Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged.
- Ronan Relimun, was a Puerto Rican, living in another world, All the people 'round, say why are Puerto Ricans, livin' in the USA.
- Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged. Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged.
- (Instrumental)
- Pretty Ado Lamb, was a Pakistani, living in another land, All the people 'round, don't dig no Pakistanis, taking all the people's jobs.
- So get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged. Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged.
- (Instrumental)
- Get back, get back, get back, get back. Get back, get back, get back, get back.
- Meanwhile back at home, too many Pakistanis, living in a council flat, Candidate for Labour, tell us what your plan is, won't you tell me where it's at?
- So get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged. Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged.
