Lyrics -
Come on everyone of you g.i's
You are the ones who can care
Speed on you wonderful dropouts
We'll break the walls of this room in
Zoom along, superstar
All over the land
Move on music man
Come on everyone of you people
You ain't got mud in your eyes
Tell everybody with hunger
Eat up the music tonight
Come on you'll only get harder
I wanna get it to you
You are my life
You turn around in your zoot suit
Come on everyone of you preachers
You do the best that you can
Move on every one of you teachers
You do the best that you can

[@patrykg3120]

NEVER! Here in Poland we love Budgie! Why this band and its music hadn't been as popular as other bands those days?

[@nickgutierrez2792]

I got into Budgie bc of Brütal Legend. As soon as I heard them, I was hooked and went so far as to back-order two of their albums through a local record shop bc I couldn't find them anywhere else. When my dad took me to go pick them up he was so shocked that I even knew who Budgie was. It was one of those rare moments where we really bonded over mutual intrest and since then he's gifted me several of his old Budgie vinyl records he had when he was a young man. I love them so much and I love that we share such a deep love for music and the power it has to bring people together.

Same here bud. Brutal legend is arguably the best video game ever made.

RIP Burke Shelley, not all geniuses are recognised in their lifetime. One of many truly epic Budgie tracks (and the name of my first band) I was privileged to meet Tony Bourge several times in the 80's and saw one of Budgie's last gigs about 12 years ago. The first five albums are amongst the best rock albums ever and compare with anyone.

[@willsmail3785]

Classic Budgie the most underrated band ever!!

[@TheGreatAlan75]

this band should have been as popular as Sabbath, Rush, Zepplin, all the great seventies bands. maybe they were to lots of people, but in a worldwide sense, you don't hear Budgie in the same breath as those bands, but they were every bit as awesome.
