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?"0 -
A Surprise Left wrote:written by Nick Lowe
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh

Peter Rodman, a foreign policy expert who served every
Republican president from Richard Nixon to George W. Bush, including as an
assistant secretary of defense for nearly six years in the current
administration, died Saturday in Baltimore. He was 64.
The cause was complications of leukemia, said Danielle Pletka,
vice president of foreign and defense policy studies at the American
Enterprise Institute.
Rodman was lured into government by his senior thesis adviser at
Harvard, Henry Kissinger, then the national security adviser, and he became
Kissinger's aide in negotiations that included opening ties to China, peace
talks on Vietnam and the Arab-Israeli conflict.

LETTER FROM YORBA LINDA #66 | July 10, 2008 Touring with
the White House
By Tom Borcher
Tom has been a member of the Nixon Library Docent Guild
since 2002 and is a practicing attorney in
Los Angeles with Jacobs, Jacobs & Eisfelder.
White House history being a "hobby" of mine, one of
the biggest thrills in my five years as a docent at the Richard Nixon
Library & Birthplace was when John Zweifel's Miniature White House went on
display in 2004. ("Miniature" in this case being a model 70 feet by 30
feet.) I developed a forty-five minute "tour" of the model including the
history of both the model and the "real" White House." I enjoyed giving the
presentation to our guests on weekends and holidays. The day came, however,
when John rolled it into his distinctive semi-truck for other destinations.
When I learned that the model was to be displayed
at the George H. W. Bush Library in College Station, Texas, I asked them if
I could give my presentation there. Based largely on some kind words by
folks here at the Nixon Library, I was invited to Texas over the Memorial
Day Weekend in 2007.

Life In the City
Some say you only get so many breaths
When they're gone you meet your maker
Some people always try to cheat their death
but when it comes
you just can't shake it
Some people try to make a deal to get
a little bit more but they try to take it
Some of them just end up in debt
When they're called they try to fake it
but one morning the clock will chime
an no more birds come flying in by
and tempertures keep rising higher
16 bullets come flying by
ai yi yi put your hands up high
Cause ya never know how long ya gonna live till ya die
They can hit you with a missle
Hit you with a bomb
Hit you with the law and try to take your home
Break into your house in the middle of the night
Track you on a phone by satellite
Stopped anytime you're in your car
and search your body and search your home
and listenin' in on your phone calls
Still no politician got enough balls
Lining up people up against the wall
When the truth comes out all hell will fall
and someday Gauntanamo will fall
Until that day we all ride on
ai yi yi put your hands up high
cause ya never know how long ya gonna live till ya die
That's life in the city
That's life in the city yeah
That's life in the city
Mad world in the city (chorus)
Some holdin on
so damn gone
Their whole life living with tv on
Then the radio play the same ten songs
Set your clock by which ones on
and watching the news
try to see what's wrong
Find somebody else to blame it on
Hope they never come and research you
'cause your grandmother was an immigrant too
So if you love somebody better tell them so
Cause you never ever ever know when they gonna go
If they love you back just give thanks
Can't keep love like money in the bank (chorus)
You never know, you never know
It's gonna get you

NaS - Black President lyrics
[Barack Obama - taken from victory speech in Iowa]
They said this day would never come... [crowd cheers loudly]
They SAID, our sights were set too high. [crowd still wooing]
This country is too divided; too disillusioned
to ever come together around a common purpose. They said..."
[Repeat 2X]
("Although it seems heaven-sent, we ain't ready, to have a black president" - [2Pac])
[singers {Barack Obama}]
Yes we can...change the world...
{CHANGE THE WORLD...}
[Chorus]
("Although it seems heaven-sent, we ain't ready, to have a black president" - [2Pac]) [repeat 2X]
Yes we can...change the world...
(The world, the world, the WORLD...)
[Nas]
They forgot us on the block, got us in the box
Solitary confinement, how violent are these cops?
They need a early retirement
How many rallies will I watch? I ain't got it in me to march
I got a Semi to spark, the game's in a drought
Public housing, projects, cookin up in the Pyrex
My set, my clique, either gettin money
or runnin from homicide trail, that's if they ain't died yet
Tryna be rich, STILL I'm pledging allegiance
A predicate felon, a ghetto leader
Lendin my poetical genius, to who-EVER may need it
I BLEED this from Queensbridge, now living with my feet up
Never defeated, so a president's needed
You know these colored folks and Negros hate to see
one of they own succeeding
America, surprise us, and let a black man guide us
[Repeat 2X]
("Although it seems heaven-sent, we ain't ready, to have a black president" - [2Pac])
[singers {Barack Obama}]
Yes we can...change the world...
{CHANGE THE WORLD...}
[Chorus]
[Nas]
What's the black pres' thinkin on election night?
Is it, "How can I protect my life? Protect my wife? Protect my rights?"
Every other president was nuttin' less than white
'cept Thomas Jefferson and mixed Indian blood and Calvin Coolidge
KKK is like, "What the fuck?!", loadin they guns up
Loadin up mines too, ready to ride
'Cause I'm ridin with my crew - he dies, we die too
Yeah, but on the positive side
I think Obama provides hope, and challenges minds
of all races and colors to erase the hate
and try to LOVE one another; so many political snakes
We in need of a break, I'm thinkin I can TRUST this brotha
...but will he keep it way real?
Every innocent nigga in jail, gets out on appeal
When he wins, will he really care still?
I feel...
[Repeat 2X]
("Although it seems heaven-sent, we ain't ready, to have a black president" - [2Pac])
[singers {Barack Obama}]
Yes we can...change the world...
{CHANGE THE WORLD...}
[Chorus]
[Nas]
Say a prayer for "Do we have to?"
You ain't right, Jeremiah Wrong pastor
in love with a slave master
Sincerely yours, USA's most brave rapper
Jesse carjacker, Uncle TOm kidnapper
Ask around, Bently Coupe off the Richter
Bitch called Life, I pimped her, WHAT?
Politics, politricks, Klan shooter
Deacon for defense, progress producer
Nothing on the stove, a survival booster
Gotta DO what we gotta DO
We ain't got no governors comin through to help!
Anything we need done, gotta do for self
New, improved JFK on the way
It ain't the 60s' again, niggas ain't hippies again
We ain't fallin for the same traps
Standin on the balconies, where they shot the King at
McCain got apoligies, ain't nobody hearin that
People need HONESTY!
[Repeat 2X]
("Although it seems heaven-sent, we ain't ready, to have a black president" - [2Pac])
[singers {Barack Obama}]
Yes we can...change the world...
{CHANGE THE WORLD...}
[Chorus]
[Governor Bill Richardson]
It is my distinct honor, and privilege to introduce
the next President of the United States - Barack Obama
[crowd cheers LOUDLY]

Michael Franti & Spearhead...*Hey World (Don't Give Up)*
Tell me why the grass was greener
Years ago
I swear it used to grow here
But no more, here
Tell me why on this hill
All the birds that used to come fly here
Are going to die here
Tell me why I need to know
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to know
Oh, show me
Hey World, what you say?
Should I stick around for another day or two?
Don't give up on me
I won't give up on you
Just believe in me
Like I believe in you
Tell me why on the corner
All the kids that used to come to run here
Loading guns here
Tell me why it's OK
To kill in the name of the gods we pray
Tell me who said it's OK
To die in the name of the lies we say
Tell me why there's child soldiers
Tell me why they close the borders
Tell me how to fight disease
Tell me now, won't you please?
The only thing I want to do
Is be in the arms of someone
Who believes in me
Like in believe in you
Hey World, what you say? Should I stick around for another day?
Hey World, what you say? Should I stick around for another day?
Hey World, what you say? Should I stick around for another day or two?
Don't give up on me I won't give up
I try, I try, I try, I try
I try, I try, I try, I try for you
Don't give up on me
I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry
I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry for you
Just believe in me like I believe
Hey World, what you say?
Hey World, what you say?
Hey World, what you say?
Should I stick around for another day?
Hey World, what you stay?
Should I stick around for another day or two?
Don't give up on me
I won't give up on me
Just believe in me
I believe in you
Don't give up
Hey World, what you say?
Hey World, what you say?
Hey World, what you say?

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day youll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And youll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
Ive watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
Theres so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the suns gone to hell
And the moons riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But its written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
Were fools to make war
On our brothers in arms0 -
From one of my favorite U2 albums WAR...Seconds. Yes OUR government, They're the puppets, they're the puppets who pull the strings.
Seconds
It takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye
It takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye,
Say bye bye - where are you going to now?
Lightning flashes across the sky
East to west - do or die
Like a thief in the night
See the world by candlelight
In an apartment on Times Square
You can assemble them anywhere
Held to ransom - hell to pay
A revolution every day
USSR, GDR, London, New York, Peking
It's the puppets, it's the puppets who pull the strings
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye
It takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye
Push the button and pull the plug - say goodbye
And they do the atomic bomb
Do they know where the dance comes from?
Yes, they're doing the atomic bomb
They want you to sing along
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye

Sandcastle - Jerry Hannan
http://www.jerryhannan.com/file.php?id=314&access=download
I built these walls around myself
not to say that I'm proud
didn't mean to grab your curiosity
they're made to guard me from the crowd
so if you'll please keep your distance
let this comedy unfurl
well i might just have a masterpiece
i might just change the world
so keep your hands off of my sandcastle
you're gonna want it for your own
you're gonna think that you can make it better
and the walls come crumblin' down
gonna take this madness all the way
i've already crossed the line
once you jump you know you're powerless
ain't no changing my mind
so keep your hands off of my sandcastle
you're gonna want it for your own
you're gonna think that you can make it better
and the walls come crumblin' down
mmm hmmm
so don't try to help me and don't ask why
i'm free to do as I'm free to die
we're all free to believe our own lies
here comes the rising tide
so keep your hands off of my sandcastle
you're gonna want it for your own
you're gonna think that you can make it better
and the walls come crumblin' down
these breakin' waves are gonna break our hearts
and the walls come crumblin' down
come crumblin' down

your next bold move -Ani DiFranco
coming of age during the plague
of reagan and bush
watching capitalism gun down democracy
it had this funny effect on me
i guess
i am cancer
i am HIV
and i'm down at the blue jesus
blue cross hospital
just lookin' up from my pillow
feeling blessed
and the mighty multinationals
have monopolized the oxygen
so it's as easy as breathing
for us all to participate
yes they're buying and selling
off shares of air
and you know it's all around you
but it's hard to point and say "there"
so you just sit on your hands
and quietly contemplate
your next bold move
the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself
what a waste of thumbs that are opposable
to make machines that are disposable
and sell them to seagulls flying in circles
around one big right wing
yes, the left wing was broken long ago
by the slingshot of cointelpro
and now it's so hard to have faith in
anything
especially your next bold move
or the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself
you want to track each trickle
back to its source
and then scream up the faucet
'til your face is hoarse
cuz you're surrounded by a world's worth
of things you just can't excuse
but you've got the hard cough of a chain smoker
and you're at the arctic circle playing strip poker
and it's getting colder and colder
everytime you lose
so go ahead
make your next bold move
tell us
what's the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourselfwww.amnesty.org

bits from the master. nothing to you. plenty to me.
There must be some kind of way outa here
Freedom, give it to me
That's what I want now
Freedom, that's what I need now
And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually
It must not have been right, so forever, goodnight
Excuse me while i kiss the sky0 -
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say0
