And all we've got to do is sing along”

Musical Worldview: Fugazi, "Merchandise"

in , , ,

When we have nothing left to give
There will be no reason for us to live
But when we have nothing left to lose
You will have nothing left to use

We owe you nothing
You have no control
We owe you nothing
You have no control


Merchandise, it keeps us in line
Common sense says it's by design
What could a businessman ever want more
Than to have us sucking in his store


We owe you nothing
You have no control
We owe you nothing
You have no control

You are not what you own
You are not what you own
You are not what you own
You are not what you own

We owe you nothing
You have no control
We owe you nothing (nothing)
You have no control
We owe you nothing (nothing)
You have no control

Musical Worldview: Wonderful World, Beautiful People by Jimmy Cliff

in , , ,

“Take a look at the world
And the state that it's in today
I am sure you'll agree
We all could make it a better way
With our love put together
Everybody learn to love each other
Instead of fussing and fighting
Cheating but biting
Scandalizing and hating

Baby, we could have a wonderful world, beautiful people”

Musical Worldview: Jeff Tobias, "Our Very Recent Past"

in , , ,

“By the time they figured out who the real fascists were it was too late
All the ink had long since dried and all the trains had long since left the station

Who is above loving a face they don't yet recognize

Weep to think what could have been, but I guess that could be said about anytime
Still it seems decisive things could've moved the needle; maybe not
If only something from our very recent past could act as a warning - give us some vision - but our vision's left wanting
But never again doesn't mean anything if it never stopped happening

Who is above loving a face they don't yet recognize
Give up some small sense of yourself and help smash the hateful tide”
