Move Ya Body

Move Ya Body (Remix)

EPx3 - VOL. 02

Robert Burns wrote “A Man’s a Man for A’ That” over 200 years ago, and guess what… not much has changed! In fact, it is statistically fair to say that the socio—economical divide is getting worse everyday, because greedy and entitled a-holes confuse privilege with rights, and don’t even think twice about the meaning or value of equality, human dignity, and justice. Blessed be Burns for daring to say what few would: wealth and status mean nothing—what truly matters is a person’s integrity, wisdom, and kindness. Personality, aka our “true color”, is so underrated… 

Why his song matters:
- In an era of rising inequality, where wealth and fame often overshadow true worth, Burns’ words remind us that status does not define a person.
- As leaders and elites gain power through privilege, not merit, his message calls us to value wisdom, honesty, and justice above empty authority.
- In a world that too often divides people by class, race, or borders, A Man’s a Man for A’ That stands as a timeless call for fairness, unity, and human dignity.

Burns saw beyond his time and envisioned a world where honor and intelligence, not gold and crowns, define greatness. That dream isn’t just history—it’s still worth singing for. Maybe now more than ever.

Robert Burns’s original lyrics:
(Original Scots Version)
Is there for honest Poverty That hings his head, an’ a’ that? The coward-slave, we pass him by, We dare be poor for a’ that! For a’ that, an’ a’ that, Our toils obscure, an’ a’ that, The rank is but the guinea’s stamp, The man’s the gowd for a’ that.
What though on hamely fare we dine, Wear hoddin grey, an’ a’ that? Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine, A man’s a man for a’ that: For a’ that, an’ a’ that, Their tinsel show, an’ a’ that; The honest man, though e’er sae poor, Is king o’ men for a’ that.
Ye see yon birkie, ca’d a lord, Wha struts, an’ stares, an’ a’ that; Though hundreds worship at his word, He’s but a coof for a’ that: For a’ that, an’ a’ that, His ribband, star, an’ a’ that, The man o’ independent mind, He looks an’ laughs at a’ that.
Then let us pray that come it may, (As come it will for a’ that,) That Sense and Worth, o’er a’ the earth, Shall bear the gree, an’ a’ that. For a’ that, an’ a’ that, It’s coming yet for a’ that, That man to man, the warld o’er, Shall brothers be for a’ that.

@bananasutra lyrics adaptation: 
Is there a man who walks with pride, Though poor and worn, and all that? The coward bows, but we’ll abide, We dare be free for all that. For all that and all that, Our toil and sweat and all that, The crown is but a stamped disguise, A man’s a man for all that.
What if our table’s plain and bare, Our coats are thin, and all that? Let fools delight in silks so rare, A man’s a man for all that. For all that and all that, Their pomp and gold and all that, An honest heart and mind so free, Are worth far more than all that.
You see that man they call a lord, Who struts and stares and all that? Though many bow before his word, He’s but a fool for all that. For all that and all that, His stars and stripes and all that, A man who stands with mind unchained, He laughs and walks past all that.
So let us hope the day will come, (And come it will, for all that,) When sense and worth, not birth and gold, Shall lead the world, and all that. For all that and all that, It’s coming yet, for all that, That man to man, both far and wide, Shall brothers be for all that.
