Caution's Subversive Song of the Day

[Caution]

Hey finally proof that someone actually takes a look at my Subversive Song of the day :)

This was suggested by a fellow DU'er and definitely is a great song that in his words "really sums up the recent war."

This is Let Them Eat War by Bad Religion from their latest album titled:
The Empire Strikes First, to be released June 4th of this year.

I've bolded my favorite section, and am eagerly anticipating the album (and the tour...Bad Religion put on a great live show).

Let Them Eat War

There’s a prophet on a mountain and he's making up dinner
With long division and a riding crop
Anybody can feel like a winner
When it's served up piping hot
But the people aren't looking for a handout
They're America's working corps
Can this be what they voted for?

Let them eat war
Let them eat war
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war
Let them eat war
There's an urgent need to feed: declining pride

From the force to the union shops
The war-economy is making new jobs
But the people who benefit most
Are breaking bread with their benevolent hosts
Who never stole from the rich to give to the poor
All they ever gave to them was a war
And a foreign enemy to deplore

Let them eat war
Let them eat war
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war
Let them eat war
There's an urgent need to feed: declining pride

We've got to kill 'em in the end before they reach for their checks
Squeeze some blue collars, let them bleed from their necks
Seize a few dollars from the people who sweat
‘Cause it's freedom or death and they won't question it
At a job site the boss is god-like
Conditioned workhorses park at a stoplight
Seasoned vets with their feet in nets
A stones throw away from a rock fight

But not tonight, feed ‘em death
Here comes another ration (feed ‘em death)
‘Cause they're the finest in the nation (feed ‘em death)
But there's nothing left to feed ‘em with
‘Cause it's freedom or it's death

Let them eat war
Let them eat war
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war
Let them eat war
There's an urgent need to feed

1. nice picks

Bad Religion just get better and better IMO, And at times, more melodic.

2. Their new album is a return

to soaring harmonies the likes of which they haven't done since "Against The Grain."

It's a very impressive album. Very.
