Stop hey what's that sound?

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong

http://media.townhall.com/Townhall/reu/d/2009/233/25c570ff-2890-40e9-9912-859825d67202@news.ap.org.jpg

Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street

Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep

Into your life it will creep

It starts when you're always afraid

You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

...the more they stay the same.

I can hear it playing in my head, the paralels drawn.

Well done.

6. How appropriate...

A 40 some odd year old song can still be just as true today as it was then. Another one is "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McQuire. The lyrics sound as if he wrote it yesterday. I guess the human race has a hard time evolving.

Damn creepy, looks like it came from a movie. Terrifying pic, especially if it's real.

28. That song -'For What It's Worth' is owned by WMG...

and they won't allow any of their songs to be used on youtube w/o permission

that's why they pulled THE DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND MOVIE

WMG owns a quarter of all music copyrights

they even pulled our wedding video for using Neil Young's 'Harvest Moon'

19. Nice work. Ironically, the last time this song popped in my head was shortly after 9-11

I'd hoped things would be different by now.

29. Earth Opera's "Great American Eagle Tragedy" is also prescient from that era...

Edited on Sat Aug-22-09 02:42 PM by cascadiance

Though a lot less played than other tracks mentioned here, it deserves a listen if you can get a copy... Substitute "desert" for "jungle" to get more relevance today... Though probably a little more during Bush's time...

Earth Opera: The Great American Eagle Tragedy

And call out the border guard,

The kingdom is crumbling!

The king is in the counting house,
Laughing and stumbling.

His armies are extended
Way beyond the shore.

As he sends our lovely boys to die
In a foreign jungle war.

Huh, huh, huh, huh…

The queen is in the garden,
Moaning and weeping.

She spied the executioner’s face
While he lay sleeping.

The king’s own judge and jester
leaped together from the tower.
Lie still as fallen statues
In the cultivated bower, bower.

And call out the border guard,
The kingdom is crumbling!

The king is in the counting house,
Laughing and stumbling.

His armies are extended,
Way beyond the shore.
As he sends our lovely boys to die
In a foreign jungle war.

Huh, huh, huh, huh…

The orchestra assembles,
And tries in vain to tune.

While outside in the stableyard,
The hounds are howling at the moon.

A blind man in the far off jungle,
His bramble hut in flames,
Sits and whispers to his flute
All the unremembered names.

And call out the border guard.
The kingdom is crumbling.

The king is in the counting house,
Laughing and stumbling.

His armies are extended,
Way beyond the shore.
As he sends our lovely boys to die
In a foreign jungle war.

Huh, huh, huh, huh… My god!

The scarlet cloaked and white horsed huntsman
Rides upon the meadow green.

His silver arrow scars the sky,

and I can hear the eagle scream.
The peasants watch in dumb-struck wonder!
The gay procession passed them by.
The victory silence is consuming me!
And we’ve killed at last the eagle’s cry!

And call out the border guard.
The kingdom is crumbling.
The king is in the pouting house,
Laughing and stumbling.
His armies are extended,
Way beyond the shore.
As he sends our lovely boys to die,
As we send our lovely boys to die,
As you send our lovely boys to die
In a foreign jungle war.

Ah, huh, huh, huh…

Why people, I can’t stand it any more!
I, I, I can’t stand it any more!

I god!
Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!
Where is that place!

Bye, bye, bye, bye!
Die, die, die, die!
Bye, bye, bye, bye!
Die, die, die, die!
Oh no! oh no! OH NO!

STOP THE WAR! STOP THE WAR!
Oh PLEASE!
