Following in the footsteps of ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ and ‘Play God’, ‘Aye’ isn’t afraid to dissect issues of class and political polarity with a hard-edged punk rock sound.
Released as the second track from Sam Fender’s upcoming second album, Seventeen Going Under, Aye proves itself as a worthy succ...
Aye Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They don't act up for the camera
They just sit back and command them
And collect and deflect and abandon
They even wrote all the Ten Commandments
They watched Jesus get nailed to the cross
In real time and in their heads
They watched Boudica fall to the Romans
They watched Lennon as they shot him dead
They watched Jackie pick up Kennedy's head
They watched kids go to Epstein's bed
They watched Hollywood whitewash remake movies
Of napalm falling like water on rock
[Verse 2]
They watched the atom bomb reduce two cities to dust
And paint the whole narrative as totally just
They fly drones above our heads
That paint the ground black and red
Children's eyes clasped in dread
They all knew where it led
Trade ties steeped in guile
They knew the fall was comin' all the while
And they double down on misery
The age-old blatant mystery
Subterfuge in synergy
[Chorus]
Poor, hate the poor
Hate the poor
Hate the poor
Hate the poor
Poor, hate the poor
Hate the poor
Hate the poor
Hate the poor
[Verse 3]
It's a blame game, it's a fame trap
It's the martyrdom of the spoken
It's the last breath of the awoken
And the woke kids are just dickheads
And the dickheads are all ages
And everybody's pointing at somebody's sweetheart
I'm a scumbag
Makin' my peace with the internal drag
Makin' my thesis on the faceless man
He's got the whole world in his fucking hands
[Chorus]
I don't have time for the very few
They never had time for me and you
I don't have time for the very few
They never had time for me and you
I don't have time for the very few
They never had time for me and you
I don't have time for the very few
They never had time for me and you
I don't have time for the very few
They never had time for me and you
[Outro]
I'm not a fucking patriot anymore
I'm not a fucking singer anymore
I'm not a fucking liberal anymore
I'm not a fucking anything or anyone
I'm not a fucking anything or—
I'm not a fucking anything—
I'm not a fucking—
I'm not a—
I'm not—

What did Sam Fender say about "Aye"?
“Aye” is about the polarity between the left and the right wing, and how that leaves working class people displaced with a lack of political identity, playing into the hands of the 1 per cent. It’s also a rant about my disdain for the greedy tax dodging billionaires of the world.

What have the artists said about the song?
On the first album, I talked about politics as if I knew what I was talking about, but I realised I don’t. This record, I’m like, ‘I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I fucking hate those bastards over there who’ve got the hedge funds—whose taxes I’m paying, who come after my mum, who come afte...
What have the artists said about the song?
There’s a couple of songs on this record that are about the feelings of a lot of working-class people. Blyth Valley just voted Tory for the first time ever. I think we’re in a very, very strange time; the polarity between the two sides has divided the whole world. Even in America, the division is IN...
