Fighting against two enemies
One's commercial, one's pretence
Play me off against each other
Self-belief's my only defence
Big or small, they're all the same
All out wheeling and dealing
Playing the money making game
Unaffected by our feelings
I won't be hurt by either side
I'd rather be alone
I'll make you listen somehow
Freedom begins at home
Freedom begins at home
Founded on resentment
A few more envious lies
I won't be crushed by any of you
Or cast my principles aside
We've learnt things you don't yet know
I'll make you see you were wrong
In time, I'll develop and grow
The tune might change but not the song
The lyrics FREEDOM BEGINS AT HOME of VICE SQUAD is also present in the album Stand strong, stand proud (2000)
Vice Squad è un gruppo musicale punk rock britannico formatosi a Bristol nel 1978. Considerati uno dei gruppi più importanti del movimento oi! inglese, hanno raggiunto la popolarità negli anni '80 con il loro sound aggressivo e le liriche provocatorie che affrontavano temi sociali come la povertà, la disoccupazione e l'oppressione. Il gruppo è stato guidato dalla voce carismatica di Beki Bondage, una figura iconica del movimento punk femminile. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "The Kids Are United", "Last Resort" e "Skinhead Girl". Vice Squad ha collaborato con altri artisti importanti del panorama punk britannico come The Exploited e Discharge.
