I heard this over the weekend....its always been a favorite of mine....but it truly sums up how i feel. What's Going On Marvin Gaye Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying You know we'ver got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today, hey Father, father, we don't need to escalate War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today CHORUS #1: Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me, so you can see Oh what's going on, what's going on Yeah, what's going on, ah, what's going on Ahhh.... Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong Ah but who are they to judge us Simply 'cos our hair is long Ah you know we'ver got to find a way To brind some understanding here today CHORUS #2: Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me, so you can see What's going on, yeah what's going on Tell me what's going on, I'll tell you what's going on |
The cover of it by all the rock stars who really SUCK is fucking awful and they should all be sliced open from groin to grin and dragged across the salt flats of Utah in August. |
So is "Masters of War" by Bob Dylan. It's one angry song. Whoa. Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks You that never done nothin' But build to destroy You play with my world Like it's your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain You fasten the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion As young people's blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I'm young You might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm younger than you Even Jesus would never Forgive what you do Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul And I hope that you die And your death'll come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand o'er your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead Whoa. |

got the feeling, for sure. I don't know how well the lyrics convey it though. The music and singing are very sad. Toad the Wet Sprocket Pray Your Gods i will give the secrets you request and you will be the one to sacrifice so lay your olive arms across my breast and sing the poems, free the butterflies pray your gods who ask you for your blood for they are strong and angry jealous ones or lay upon my altar now your love i fear my time is short there are armies moving close be quick, my love i feel my body weakened by the years as people turn to gods of cruel design is it that they fear the pain of death or could it be they fear the joy of life pray your gods who rule you by your fear for they are quick and ruthless punishers or lay upon my altar now your love i fear my time is short there are armies moving on be quick, my love |

I can think of a few pro-war tuens as well, specifically anything by S.O.D. and "Let's Have a War", "Bomb the Russians" and "Beer Fight" by Fear. |
i dont think i could ever take FEAR seriously. I equated them to frat boys with mohawks. |
|
"b.d.w.p.s" - mm |
i'm finding that i have to revisit my "chicks can't rock" view. clearly, some chicks can rock. it doesn't hurt that they're foxy as hell. |
Droopy, I respectfully invite you to bite me. The song is still good! |
"Sting" cool anti cold war song. |
|
|
|
bite you, spider? why, i could just eat you all up. |
But, being pretty much paranoid all the time that song runs through my head quite a bit. |

The Damned are back together???!!! DO TELL. "Yes, Sir, I Will" by Crass----the entire album of it. Brutal. How about any John Prine? "Flag Decal"? "Sam Stone"? |
|
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong" God I love that song. They even ended the special West Wing with it. |

|
how 'bout baseball bat? worked for deniro in "the untouchables." |
Whatever happened to them anyways? I think Mark Knopfler did some movie scores a while back, but it's like they fell off the face of the earth. |

i am a closet dire straits fan. my friends and i have a running schtick about the most embarrassing band that we like. my favorite always was Ryan's... he's a closet Bangles fan. ewwww. Dire Straits is nothing to be really that embarrassed about, but like Kajagoogoo is. or Wham! |
Straits songs when nobody is looking. |
dire straits??? DIRE STRAITS??? *passes out* |

You think you drive me crazy Come on, come on You and whose army? You and your cronies Come on, come on Holy Roman empire Come on if you think Come on if you think You can take us on You can take us on You and whose army?

(RIP Jeffrey Lee Pierce) Patricia Morrison in the Damned??? COOL!!!!! What the hell happened to Rat Scabies? Thought FOR SURE I'd see HIM on that list.... |

It's "we ride tonight," not "you ought to know." The last lines are not "I'm so sad" but something like "last stars..." or something. Damned misleading website. |

where did you find it? |
|
So there. It IS true. Who could make up something like that? |
What was controversial about it? I heard it, and thought old Neil did an amazing rendition -- at first, when I heard those familiar chords on the piano, I was like, Oh gawd, he's going to sing Imagine. But I was really impressed. |
