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!0 -

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?

Rhinocerous Surprise '08!!!0 -
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

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 you0 -

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!0 -

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?"

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...2000-10-28 San Bernardino

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

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 again0 -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6vOj_OPzHo
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 frightening0 -
Feel kinda vain bumping up 2 of my old threads... but I wanna share a song, so there. :P

Badly Drawn Boy ~ Year of the Rat
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PScUdYTO0UM
"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"If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
