Musical Worldview: the Housemartins, "Freedom"

in , , ,

“I used to think you understood
Taught me right and learned me good
Made things simple for my brain
Told the truth and made it plain

But the implications I mistook
Until I found out whose side you took
And now with paper in my hand
I'm beginning to understand

So this is freedom (they must be joking)
They must be joking (if they think it's true)
So this is freedom (I doubt their truth)
So this is freedom (for me and you)

From the front page news to the interviews
It's sink the reds and lift the blues
They pretend they're differing points of view
But it's only different shades of blue

But the implications I mistook
Until I found out whose side you took
And now with paper in my hand
I'm beginning to understand”

not when I'm alone.

But it's more when I'm standin' in crowds
that I'm feeling the most on my own."

Musical Worldview: Bad Religion, "You Are The Government"

in , , ,

“Hey, sit down and listen and they'll tell you when you're wrong
Eradicate but vindicate as progress creeps along
Puritan work ethic maintains its subconscious edge
As old glory maintains your consciousness

There's a loser in my house and a puppet on a stool
And a crowded way of life and a black reflecting pool
And as the people bend the moral fabric dies
Then country can't pretend to ignore its peoples cries

'Cause you are the government, you are jurisprudence
You are the volition, you are jurisdiction
And I make a difference too”
