    Warm yourself by the fire, son,
    And the morning will come soon.
    I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
    In a place that we once knew.

    Before we packed our bags
    And left all this behind us in the dust,
    We had a place that we could call home,
    And a life no one could touch.

    Don’t hold me up now,
    I can stand my own ground,
    I don’t need your help now,
    You wont let me down, down, down!

    Don’t hold me up now,
    I can stand my own ground,
    I don’t need your help now,
    You wont let me down, down, down!

    Down!

    We are the angry and the desperate,
    The hungry, and the cold,
    We are the ones who kept quiet,
    And always did what we were told.

    But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
    In the safety of your home.
    We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
    Everything you’ve known.

    Don’t hold me up now,
    I can stand my own ground,
    I don’t need your help now,
    You wont let me down, down, down!

    Don’t hold me up now,
    I can stand my own ground,
    I don’t need your help now,
    You wont let me down, down, down!

    So open your eyes child,
    Let’s be on our way.
    Broken windows and ashes
    Are guiding the way.

    Keep quiet no longer,
    We’ll sing through the day,
    Of the lives that we’ve lost,
    And the lives we’ve reclaimed.

    Go!

    Don’t hold me up now,
    I can stand my own ground,
    I don’t need your help now,
    You wont let me down, down, down!

    Don’t hold me up now,
    I can stand my own ground,
    I don’t need your help now,
    You wont let me down, down, down!

    Don’t hold me up…
    (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
    Don’t hold me up…
    (I don’t need your help)
    No! No! No!
    Don’t hold me up!
    (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
    Don’t hold me up!
    (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
    Don’t let me down, down, down, down, down!

    I just love this song DOOMSDAY CLOCK by the Smashing Pumpkins from the album ZEITGEIST. I'll see them next month when they play here in DC.

    DoomsDay Clock

    Is everyone afraid?
    Is everyone ashamed?
    They're running towards their holes to find out
    Apocalyptic means are lost amongst our dead
    A message to our friends to get out

    There's wages on this fear
    Oh so clear
    Depends on what you'll pay to hear

    They're bound to kill us all
    In white-washed halls
    The jackals lick their paws

    Please don't stop
    It's lonely at the top
    These lonely days
    When will they ever stop?
    This doomsday clock tickin' in my heart
    Not broken

    I love life everyday
    in each and every way
    Khafka would be proud, to find out
    I'm certain of the end,
    it's the means that has me spooked
    It takes an unknown truth to get out
    I'm guessing that I'm born free, silly me
    I was meant to beg from my knees

    (chorus)
    Please don't stop
    It's lonely at the top
    These lonely days
    wWhen will they ever stop?
    This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
    These lonely days when will they ever stop?

    We gotta dig in
    Gas masks on
    Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
    If this is living?
    Sakes alive!
    Well then they can't win, no one survives

    Is everyone afraid?
    You should be ashamed
    Apocalyptic screams mean nothing to the dead
    Kissing that ol' sun to know all there is
    Come onn, last call!
    You should want it all!

    (chorus)
    Ah, it's lonely at the top
    These lonely days when will they ever stop?
    This doomsday clock
    Ticking in my heart
    These lonely days when will they ever stop?
    This ticking in my heart
    Is everyone afraid?

    From my friend Michael Franti and his band Spearhead

    Ganje Babe

    I wanna make it slow
    Sensemille
    I wanna make it slow
    Make me feel ya

    Heavy medicine
    Ya see my eyes are feeling red again
    Im bringin light
    Like thomas funky edison
    Been in the desert for forty seven days
    Purple haze
    The poison that I tasted never changed
    Turn up the woofers so I can feel the beat
    Vibrate my belly like a bomb in harmony
    Summer heat
    My back is sticking to me to the seat
    Bare feet
    Tank top and shorts is all ya need
    Summer breeze
    Im feelin kinda fine
    Im rollin with my shorty all the time
    Wind and grind lovely shake your behind
    Cinnamon skin be bringing sin to my mind
    But whether or not the weathers hot
    Or the weathers cold
    Im wrapping her like a blanket with my whole soul
    So that she can feel me
    Like coca cola Im the woo-o-oh oh the sweet thing
    My girl lollipop she growing mad crops
    She rollin herbs everyday
    At about 4 o clock
    Tick tock
    Strike the hammer while the irons hot
    Ooh girl watcha got cooking in the pot
    See mary mary quite contrary
    How does your garden grow?
    Hydrophonic ultra supersonic
    Or does it grow naturally slow?

    (chorus)
    Ganja babe my sweet ganja babe
    I love tha way ya love me and the way ya misbehavin
    Ganja babe my sweet ganja babe
    Come wake body-ody take my mind away

    Everybody get down and do the boogaloo
    Just like the cover of I want you
    Yoo hooo look watcha gonna do
    Watcha gonna do when the rent comes due
    Round up the posse and call up the crew
    5 bucks at the door and ya bring ya own booze
    Call ya neighbor cause they can come too
    Be sure and bring ya records cause I only got a few
    So baa baa black sheep have you any wool
    Yes sir, yes sir a nickle bagful
    One for my partner one for my crew
    Some for my ganja baby she needs 2
    Cuz just like me they want to be... cool




    My two favorite things especially these days... Michael Franti of then....Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

    Music And Politics

    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    I would tell you that sometimes it’s easier to desire
    and pursue the attention and admiration of 100 strangers
    than it is to accept the love and loyalty
    of those closest to me

    And I would tell you that sometimes
    I prefer to look at myself
    through someone else’s eyes
    Eyes that aren’t clouded with the tears of knowing
    what an asshole I can be, as yours are.

    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    I might be able to listen in silence to your concerns
    rather than hearing everything as an accusation
    or an indictment against me

    I would tell you that sometimes
    I use sex to avoid communication
    it’s the best escape when we’re down on our luck
    But I can express more emotions than laughter, anger, and let’s fuck

    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    I would tell you that I pooped in my own dog dish
    And sometimes I would rather face not eating
    than face licking it clean
    And admitting when I’m selfish
    And I’d tell you that I’m suffering
    from the worst type of loneliness
    The loneliness of being misunderstood,
    or more poignantly
    the loneliness of being afraid
    to allow myself to be understood

    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    I would tell you that the personal revolution
    is far more difficult
    and is the first step in any revolution

    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

    I would tell you that music is the expression of emotion
    And that politics is merely the decoy of perception.

    70's Song about our political scenerio that works even in today's atmosphere....You're The Man by Marvin Gaye.

    Talkin', talkin' to the people
    Tryin' to get them to go your way
    Tellin' lies, not to worry
    That we won't be led astray
    So blind, unsignified
    Your opponents always lying
    Think about the mistakes you make
    I believe America's at stake
    You know, busin', busin' is the issue
    If you have a plan wager
    If you have a plan
    If you've got a master plan
    Got to vote for you
    Hey hey, got to vote for you
    You're the man
    We don't wanna hear no more lies
    About how you planned a compromise
    We want our dollar value increased
    Employment to rise
    The nation's taxation
    Is causin' all, all this inflation
    Don't give us no V sign
    Turn around and rob the people blind

    Economics is the issue
    Do you have a plan wager?
    'Cause if you've got a master plan
    Got to vote for you
    You're the man
    (8 times, over scat singing):
    Don't you understand?
    There's misery in the land
    (One version fades out
    during this; read further
    for a longer version)
    People marching on Washington
    Better hear what they have to say
    'Cause the tables just might
    turn against you, brother
    Set around Election Day
    Politics and hypocrites
    Is turning us all into lunatics
    Can you take the guns from our sons?
    Right all the wrongs this
    administration has done?
    Peace and freedom is the issue
    Do you have a plan wager?
    If you've got a plan
    If you've got a master plan
    Got to vote for you
    Hey hey, got to vote for you
    'Cause you're the man
    (repeat and fade):
    Got to vote for you

    Michael Franti & Spearhead....Is Love Enough?

    Is Love Enough?


    We want freedom of speech
    But we all talking at the same time
    We say we want peace
    but nobody wants to change thier own mind

    And it goes on and on and on
    For a thousand year
    And it goes on and on and on
    What language are your tears

    Everybody wants to live the life of kings and queens
    But nobody wants to stay and plow the fields
    Everybody wants to tell thier neighbors how to live
    But nobody wants to listen to how they feel

    And it goes on and on and on
    For a thousand year
    And it goes on and on and on
    What language are your tears

    But what I got to say one more time is
    Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah
    Or could you love some more
    Is it Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah
    Or could you love some more
    Is it Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah
    Or could you love some more
    Is it Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah
    Oh tell you could you love some more

    And it goes on and on and on
    For a thousand year
    And it goes on and on and on
    What language are your tears

    What language are you tears
    What language is your laughter
    What language is your sadness
    What language is your joy

    It goes on and on and on
    for a thousand years
    And it goes on and on and on
    What language are your tears


    Peace

    To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
    To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
    We toss and turn but don't sleep
    Each breath we take makes us thieves
    Like causes without rebels
    Just talk but promise nothing else

    We crawl on our knees for you
    Under a sky no longer blue
    We sweat all day long for you
    But we sow seeds to see us through
    Though sometimes dreams just don't come true
    We wait to reap what we are due

    To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
    And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
    Chased down like dogs we run from
    Your grasp until the sun comes up

    We crawl on our knees for you
    Under a sky no longer blue
    We sweat all day long for you
    But we sow seeds to see us through
    Though sometimes dreams just don't come true
    Look now at what they've done to you

    White needles buried in the red
    The engine roars and then it gives
    But never dies
    'Cuz we don't live
    We just survive
    On the scraps that you throw away

    I won't crawl on my knees for you
    From http://www.6lyrics.com
    I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
    I won't sweat one more drop for you
    'Cuz we are the rust upon your gears
    We are the insects in your ears
    We crawl
    We crawl
    We crawl... all over you

    We sow the seeds to see us through
    Our days are precious and so few
    We all reap what we are due
    Under this sky no longer blue,
    We bring a dawn long overdue
    We crawl
    We crawl
    We crawl... all over you

    do you know the cost of future misery?
    have you lost your sense of sustainability?
    we are just a step away
    from realizing what we strive to be
    but we've got to break out
    from this insulated blind and lame senility

    wake up the new america
    wo-oh!
    transcend the mass hysteria
    wo-oh! wo-oh!
    change is the thing you're wary of
    wo-oh! wo-oh!
    we need a new america
    wo-oh! wo-oh!

    laurels, human triumph,
    bestowments from the past
    victories don't mean a thing
    if they don't last

    we are just marching toward extinction
    with blinders on our eyes
    jeopardizing everything
    we've learned and come to realize
    you call that wise?

    open your eyes america
    wo-oh! wo-oh!
    see through the lies they tell to us
    wo-oh! wo-oh!
    confront the fears that worry us
    wo-oh! wo-oh!
    we need a new america
    wo-oh! wo-oh!

    we don't have to be afraid to re-invent
    we've got to start to build,
    progress, and implement
    for when we take our fill,
    and never pay the price
    we only build ourselves a fleeting,
    false paradise

    you can live in staunch denial
    and mark me as your enemy
    but I'm just a voice among the throng
    who want a brighter destiny

    they say with me
    we are the new america
    wo-oh! wo-oh!
    this is the new america?
    wo-oh wo-oh!
    we are the new america
    wo-oh! wo-oh!
    this is the new america?
    wo-oh! wo-oh!

    FUCKING AMAZING SONG

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gp7uwPEL9Q

    HERO OF WAR -Rise Against.

    He said, "Son,
    Have you seen the world?
    Well, what would you say
    If I said that you could?
    Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid."
    I said, "That sounds very good."

    Black leather boots
    Spit-shined so bright
    They cut off my hair but it looked alright
    We marched and we sang
    We all became friends
    As we learned how to fight

    A hero of war
    Yeah, that's what I'll be
    And when I come home
    They'll be damn proud of me
    I'll carry this flag
    To the grave if I must
    Because it's flag that I love
    And a flag that I trust

    I kicked in the door
    I yelled my commands
    The children, they cried
    But I got my man
    We took him away
    A bag over his face
    From his family and his friends

    They took off his clothes
    They pissed in his hands
    I told them to stop
    But then I joined in
    We beat him with guns
    And batons not just once
    But again and again

    A hero of war
    Yeah that's what I'll be
    And when I come home
    They'll be damn proud of me
    I'll carry this flag
    To the grave if I must
    Because it's flag that I love
    And a flag that I trust

    She walked through bullets and haze
    I asked her to stop
    I begged her to stay
    But she pressed on
    So I lifted my gun
    And I fired away

    And the shells jumped through the smoke
    And into the sand
    That the blood now had soaked
    She collapsed with a flag in her hand
    A flag white as snow

    A hero of war
    Is that what they see
    Just medals and scars
    So damn proud of me
    And I brought home that flag
    Now it gathers dust
    But it's a flag that I love
    It's the only flag I trust

    He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
    Well what would you say
    If I said that you could?"

    im bumping this cause this is the song stuck in my head atm.
    i cant sing along with this song.
    it makes me sad
    it makes angry
    it makes me cry

    damn you tim mcilrath. but thanks.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Her green plastic watering can
    For her fake chinese rubber plant
    In fake plastic earth.
    That she bought from a rubber man
    In a town full of rubber plants
    Just to get rid of itself.
    And it wears her out, it wears her out
    It wears her out, it wears her out.

    She lives with a broken man
    A cracked polystyrene man
    Who just crumbles and burns.
    He used to do surgery
    For girls in the eighties
    But gravity always wins.
    And it wears him out, it wears him out
    It wears him out, it wears him out.

    She looks like the real thing
    She tastes like the real thing
    My fake plastic love.
    But I cant help the feeling
    I could blow through the ceiling
    If I just turn and run
    And it wears me out, it wears me out
    It wears me out, it wears me out.

    And if I could be who you wanted
    If I could be who you wanted,
    All the time, all the time, ohhh... ohh...

    Yeah, starts out typical pro-war, pro military basic nationalism stuff, ends up slamming the US military. great song. very moving for sure.


    your seeing Rise Against live? so lucky. wish I still lived in Seattle at times like these.

    What many in America are facing RIGHT NOW...Foreclosure of A Dream D




    Rise so high, yet so far to fall.
    A plan of dignity and balance for all.
    Political breakthrough, euphorias high.
    More borrowed money, more borrowed time.
    Backed in a corner, caught up in the race.
    Means to an end ended in disgrace.
    Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase.

    /chorus/
    Foreclosure of a dream,
    Those visions never seen,
    Until all is lost,
    Personal holocaust.
    Foreclosure of a dream.

    Barren land that once filled a need,
    Are worthless now, dead without a deed.
    Slipping away from an iron grip,
    Natures scales are forced to tip,
    The heartland cries, loss of all pride.
    To leave aint believing, so try and be tried.
    Insufficient funds, insanity and suicide.

    /chorus/

    Now with new hope some will be proud.
    This is no hoax, no one pushed out.
    Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer.
    Break new ground of a new frontier.
    New ideas will surely get by.
    No deed, or dividend. some may ask why?
    Youll find the solution, the answers in the sky.

    Rise so high, yet so far to fall.
    A plan of dignity and balance for all.
    Political breakthrough, euphorias high.
    More borrowed money, more borrowed time.

    /chorus/

    Our buildings have fallen, our walls all caved in,
    And we can't comprehend this sad state that we're in
    So we sift through the ashes of what we've become
    And surrender here one by one,
    So push us down

    And we get right back up again,

    The things you're telling me aren't making any sense,
    Right back up again,
    I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come

    Let the blind lead the blind,
    Cause it's eye for an eye in your so called life,
    Are you out there?
    Are you listening?
    Is there something we're still missing?
    Let the blind lead the blind,
    Cause it's eye for an eye, we all fall down

    And we get right back up again,
    The things you're telling me aren't making any sense,
    Right back up again,
    I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come

    We're spinning out of control
    We're trying to find somewhere to land
    And I don't want you to know
    The things that keep me down

    We get right back up again

    Suffering from something we're not sure of
    In a world there is no cure for
    These lives we live test negative for happiness
    Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open
    Single file like soldiers on a mission
    If theres no war outside our heads
    Why are we losing?

    I don't ask for much
    The truth betold i'd settle
    For a life less frightening, a life less frightening
    I don't ask for much
    The truth betold i'd settle
    For a life less frightening, a life less frightening

    Hang me out to dry I'm soaking
    With the sins of knowing
    What's gone wrong but doing nothing I still run
    Time again I have found myself stuttering
    Foundations pulled out from under me
    This breath is wasted on them all
    Will someone answer me?

    I don't ask for much
    The truth betold I'd settle
    For a life less frightening, a life less frightening
    I don't ask for much
    The truth betold i'd settle
    For a life less frightening, a life less frightening

    Is there a God tonight?
    Up in the sky or is it empty just like me (Just like me)
    A place where we can hide out from the night
    Where you are all I see (Where you are all I see)
    So blow a kiss goodbye, close your eyes
    Tell me what you see (Tell me what you see)
    A life that's set inside this dream of mine
    Where you are all I see

    I don't ask for much
    The truth be told I'd settle
    For a life less frightening, a life less frightening
    I don't ask for much
    The truth be told I'd settle
    For a life less frightening, a life less frightening

    Badly Drawn Boy ~ Year of the Rat

    "Year Of The Rat"

    (One, one, one, one, one, one. One, one, one, one, one, one)

    June is on the run for so long
    Pushed and pulled then shunned
    It was so wrong
    These fours walls crashing in won't stop me now
    Cause I'm alive, I'm out tonight, all night

    Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
    Every day we've got to hold on
    'cause if we hold on we could find some new energy

    Streets with flags unfurled like treasure
    Thank me for my words, it's a pleasure
    Just don't ask me to stay 'cause I'll be gone
    But it's alright I'm OK - always

    Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
    Every day we've got to hold on
    'cause if we hold on we could find some new energy

    One plus one is one - together
    One plus one is one - forever
    One plus one is one - together
    One plus one is one - forever

    Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
    Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
    Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
    Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
    Every day we've got to hold on
    'cause if we hold on we could find some new energy

    "One plus one plus one plus one is four"

    "One"
    "Plus one"
    "Plus one"
    "Plus one"
    "Four"
