"i watch the debates till i can't think straight. Take Abortion away and both sides are just the same. I'm sure why you vote , because i just don't what difference it makes. It seems to me you get the same shit from them both.Reform don't work; I think it's time we tried revolt,
but I don't got the guts to jump up and go first,
so I just shout until my throat hurts"

slow down ghandi-sage francis

a bunch of rage against the machine.

[Sigur Ros]

You're wrong about virtues of Christianity
And you're wrong if you agree with Sean Hannity
If you think that pride is about nationality, you're wrong

You're wrong when you imprison people turning tricks
And you're wrong about trickle down economics
If you think that punk rock doesn't mix with politics, you're wrong

You're wrong for hating queers and eating steers
If you kill for the thrill of the hunt
You're wrong 'bout wearing fur and not hating Ann Coulter
Cause she's a cunted cunt

You're wrong if you celebrate Columbus Day
And You're wrong if you think there will be a Judgement Day
If you're a charter member of the NRA, you're wrong

You're wrong if you support capital punishment
And you're wrong if you don't question your government
If you think her reproductive rights are inconsequent, you're wrong

You're wrong fighting Jihad, your blind faith in God
Your religions are all flawed,
You're wrong about drug use, when its not abuse
I hope you never reproduce

You're getting high on the downlow
A victim of Cointelpro
You're wrong and will probably never know





That and People Say by Portugal. The Man
As well as Pink Tarantulas by The Blood Brothers

[starshine1763]

Will Hoge - Bible vs. Gun

This video wasn't done by Will, but it fits the song so well.

I looked through the first page and didn't see "When the president talks to god". I expect better from you politics kids.

Also, I know it was posted with the second to last post on the first page. That's irrelvent. It should have been first.

I'm surprised Anti Flag hasn't been mentioned yet.

You Can Kill The Protestor But You Can't Kill the Protest - Anti Flag

[Sarcasm]

State Radio. They're great, almost all of their music is politically charged but has a lot of other meaning as well.

One of my all-time favorite bands.

Speaking of political music, Senator Byrd's 1978 bluegrass album Mountain Fiddler will be reissued (http://wvgazette.com/News/201006290139) on CD on 27 July 2010. Will be buying.

J.Cole - I Get Up
"Politicians hollern bout problems but I aint gon vote
Keep talking bout change til we floating in the same old boat
So tell me how Im supposed to feel what the president spoke?
When he aint never had to struggle aint never been broke
Aint even road through the ghetto aint never been close
Trusting this government like trusting the devil in oath"

I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live
I don't want to be ashamed to be American
but opportunity
no it don't exist
it's the opiate
of the populace
we need some harder shit now
the truth's getting around
and each public school is a halfway house
where the huddled masses sober up and up
enough? There's not enough
to fatten the cows and feed all of us.
It's just a rationing of luck
what can't be bought gets raffled off.
oh god good god shed greed on thee,
your shining sea turned a dirty green
from the industry
off the shores of New Jersey
I got a letter from the army so I think that I'll enlist
I'm not brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill something
too bad that nowadays you just point and click
swing low satellite, hot white chariot
in the computer's blue glare
the bombs burst in the air
there was a city once now nothing's there
our freedom comes at their expense
it makes sense does it?
Dollars and cents
they're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence
that's surrounding your housing development
in case you lack the confidence
oh god my god give strength to thee
these amber waves purple majesty is nothing but
backdrops for Disney
look up close it's superimposed
on a blank blue screen yea its fantasy
fucking magical
the dream floats like a chemical
through each snapped synapse
our television past that is beautiful
no more
no more

Conor Oberst in another display of genius

[crackedthesky]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Flobots. They go way beyond "Handlebars."

Somewhere between prayer and revolution
Between Jesus and Huey P. Newton
That's where you'll find Johnny Five Shoot shootin'
Water guns at the audience while you're scootin'
Your gluteus max due to the fact that I'm tootin'
On the horn gonna warn you that I'm rootin'
For the other team in the culture wars
So I stab the beast belly as the vulture snores
YO JOE!
Let it blow with convulsive force
'Til walls fall off their false supports
'Til Jericho's aircraft carriers alter course
And all brave young Americans are called ashore
Cause we've already lost the war they keep wagin'
Splattering the streets in battles that keep ragin'
Bloodyin' each page of the story that we're studyin'
Each day the same just the names keep changin'

Saying the same things over again
Repeating the same slogans, we don't know where we've been
We've been all over the globe on our government's funds
Leaving man, woman, and child dead bloody and numb
Saying the same things over again
Repeating the same slogans we don't know where we've been
We've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate views
Democratically elected but we didn't approve....

How many times can the line divide?
How many wars to uphold your pride?
These fears uncontrolled just swoll the tide
Of blood in the streets while the people die
I'ma keep on trying
Longs as suffering's multiplying
And why not?
These souls get tossed and left out to rot
My backs broad enough to help left your cross
As long as you help with mine
The process of healing will take some time
To see the pain in your face is the same as mine
It's not a game or a race but the stake is high
We maintain our mistakes for the sake of sides
As long as it takes I'll say it one more time
As long as it takes I'll say it one more time
As long as it takes I'll say it one more time

Same thing
U.S. is not us
Same thing
And us is not we
Same thing
And we are not satisfied
Same thing
We're tired of the same thing
Same thing
And we're ready to make change
Same thing
Are we ready to make change?

We want money for healthcare and public welfare
Free Mumia and Leonard Peltier
Human needs, not corporate greed
Drop the debt and legalize weed
We say 'yes' to grassroots organization
'No' to neoliberal globalization
Bring the troops back to the USA
And shut down Guantanamo Bay

Who let 'em overthrow Jacobo Arbenz?
Who let 'em overthrow Mohammad Mosaddegh
Who let 'em assassinate Salvador Allende?
I didn't let 'em but they did it anyway!
Who let 'em overthrow Kwame Nkrumah?
Who let 'em overthrow Aristide?
Who let 'em assassinate Oscar Romero?
I didn't let 'em but they did indeed!

Well don't let them assassinate Hugo Chavez
Don't let them assassinate Evo Morales
And bring back Martin, Malcolm, Medgar,
Hampton, Schwerner, Goodman, Chaney

Saying the same things over again.

What is money? To this question, different people hold differently. Some thing money is the source of happiness, while some regard it as the root of all evils. As far as I am concerned, they both have their reasons ugg Classic Tall (http://www.ugg4style.com/Classic-Tall/View-all-products.html)
