Some appropriate song lyrics, off the top of my head.......

Just thought I'd share a few song lyrics that I was thinking about last night, and which seemed horribly appropriate to the times in which we live.

Needless to say, I didn't write them (credits at the end of each).

"When you cast your eyes upon the skyline of this once proud nation,
Can you sense the fear and the hatred growing in the hearts of its population.....

And they send in the Special Police
To deliver us from liberty and keep us from peace,
And may the words sit ill upon their tongues as they tell us that justice is being done,
And freedom lives in the barrel of a warm gun"

The Beat(en) Generation, The The

"I got a letter from the government the other day
I opened it and read it, It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me giving a damn - I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't with it, but just that very minute
It occured to me the suckers had authority
Cold sweating as i dwell in my cell
How long has it been?
They got me sittin' in the state pen"

Black Steel, Tricky

"The world's insane while you drink champagne and I'm living in Black Rain,
Don't you hear the guns you stupid dumb dick-sucking bum politicians?

I hear it every night, another gun fight, the tension mounts.

On with the Bodycount"

Bodycount, Bodycount (feat. Ice T).

Apologies to Chuck D & the crew for not crediting them!
