The song is by Leon Rosselson and is (broadly speaking) an adaptation of the original Diggers song attributed to Gerard Winstanley ("stand up now" is the original refrain, and the verses in this song loosely follow the verses of the original in theme). As a general purpose socialist anthem this has been recorded by all and sundry, BB's delivery is pretty fiery.
