lyrics

It left at dawn and it rolled-in late
It sang of love and it faced-down hate
It told the truth and got smeared with lies
But this guitar refuses to apologise

It brought folks together when they kept us apart
And when it speaks, it speaks from the heart
When it sees the high and mighty cuts them back down to size
This guitar refuses to apologise

It's not saying sorry when it's only trying to do the right thing
And if you want a revolution give it something to sing

It fed hungry people up and down this land
On picket after picket it was lending a hand
You know it agitated, educated, organised
This guitar refuses to apologise

It's not saying sorry when it's only trying to write all the wrongs
And if they're trying to silence that it proves the power of songs

It's nothing special and it's nothing new
You've got one at home that can do this too
You make their voices roar and their spirits rise
This guitar refuses to apologise

It's not saying sorry when it's only trying to do the right thing
And if you want a revolution give it something to sing

It left at dawn and it rolled-in late
It sang of love and it faced-down hate
It told the truth and got smeared with lies
But this guitar refuses to apologise
