As Strong as Samson - BBC Radio in Concert 1974

Psychiatrists and Lawyers destroyin' mankind
Drivin' 'em crazy and stealin' 'em blind
Bankers and Brokers rulin' the world
Storin' the silver and hoardin' the gold

Ain't no use in preachers preachin'
When they don't know what they're teachin'
The weakest man be strong as Samson
When you're being held to ransom

Famine and hardship in true livin' colour
Constant reminders the plight of our brother
Daily starvation our diet of news
Fed to the teeth with a barrage of views

Ain't no use in preachers preachin'
When they don't know what they're teachin'
The weakest man be strong as Samson
When you're being held to ransom

Black men and white men, and Arabs and Jews
Causin' congestion and fillin' the queues
Fightin' for freedom the truth and the word
Fightin' the war for the end of the world

Ain't no use in preachers preachin'
When they don't know what they're teachin'
Weakest man be strong as Samson
When you're being held to ransom

Ain't no use in preachers preachin'
When they don't know what they're teachin'
Weakest man be strong as Samson
When you're being held to ransom

When you're being held
Oh, sing it
It ain't no use
No time to lose
Never ever
Sing it
Sing it one more
When you're being held to ran-

Well, there was a-, that song called "As Strong As Samson"
You're listenin' to "Radio One" on eh, 247 metres AM and in stereo FM VHF
This is the concert program with Procol Harum, my name is Bob Harris
And eh, an album which still remains one of my favorite LP's is eh, "Procol Harum's Broken Barricades" LP
And this is eh, one of the songs included on that album, this is called, "Simple Sister"
