about

A song of resistance in an age of shit jobs, gig work and the 1%.

lyrics

BARCELONA I’ll BE FREE
I've got two jobs I've got three roommates
I’m a woman of 43 (3x)
I’ve got a dream that keeps me going
of a place I’ve never seen

So I save what I can in this gig economy 3x
because I know where I’m going
Barcelona I’ll be free

NO PASARAN NO PASARAN
COMRADE GIVE ME YOUR HAND
BARCELONA I’LL BE FREE

Greasy Brenden is the foreman
His hands they won’t stay still. (3x)
I made myself a promise that man I’m gonna kill

NO PASARAN NO PASARAN
COMRADE GIVE ME YOUR HAND
BARCELONA I’LL BE FREE

And my boss I’ve never seen him
He’s Mr. One Per Cent. (3x)
Keeps his money in the Cayman Islands
While I can’t pay my rent

NO PASARAN NO PASARAN
COMRADE GIVE ME YOUR HAND
BARCELONA I’LL BE FREE

Could be Monday or a Wednesday
When they need me I’ll be gone (3x)
There’ll be a red flag a flying on the bosses front lawn

CHORUS
I’ve got two jobs I've got three roommates
I’m a woman of 43…

“Authentic like Johnny Cash and Woody Guthrie”

“This is a brilliant folk album, and one for our times."
-The Spill Magazine


For the last three decades, the Grievous Angels have been carving out a unique place in the alt-roots landscape. Their songs conjure the tragic beauty of Canada’s northern blue collar frontier.

Their 8th album is a kick ass journey through dark and unsettled times.
