[TheWatcher]

1. This One

When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance

Cities full of hatred
Fear and lies
Withered hearts
And cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons
Dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude
And scoffing at the wise

The hypocrites are slandering
The sacred halls of Truth
Ancient nobles showering
Their bitterness on youth

Can't we find
The minds that made us strong?

Can't we learn
To feel what's right and what's wrong?

WHAT'S WRONG?

Cities full of hatred
Fear and lies
Withered hearts
And cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons
Dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude
And scoffing at the wise

Can't we raise our eyes
And make a start?

Can't we find the minds
To lead us closer to the Heart?

Rush -A Farewell To Kings

[spooked]

13. I keep thinking of this song that Art Bell often plays as bumper music

Nothing But A Heartache by the Flirtations

Nothing but a heartache every day
(Nothing but a heartache)
Nothing but a tear drop all of the way

3. "Ohio" - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drummin'.
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it.
Soldiers are gunning us down.
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?

Gotta get down to it.
Soldiers are cutting us down.
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drummin'.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.

4. Not 100% On-Topic, But...

Who Needs Information? by Roger Waters (particularly the part in bold)


Who needs information
When you're working underground
Just give me confirmation
We could win a million pounds
Benny climbed up on a footbridge

And he teetered on the parapet
He said can you see the whites of their
headlights
Are they coming yet

Who needs information
This high off the ground
Just give me confirmation
We could win a million pounds
Who needs information
When you're living in constant fear
Just give me confirmation
There's some way out of here
Some way out of here

Benny hefted a breeze block
And tried to let go
Got hung up on a tear drop
So me and Benny went home


Who needs information
When you're living in constant fear
Just give me confirmation
There's some way out of here
Some way out of here
Who needs information yeah
When you're living on borrowed time
Just give me confirmation
There will be a winner this time
Who needs information when you're working underground
Just give me confirmation
We could win a million pounds


Who needs, who needs, who needs information
This high off the ground
Just give me confirmation
We could win a million pounds - yeah

12. Leonard Cohen - The Future

Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here,
there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that's an order!

Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder.

Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant.

You don't know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I was the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's RIDING crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder.

Things are going to slide ...

There'll be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
and a white man dancing
You'll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin'.

Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby:
it is murder.

Things are going to slide ...

When they said REPENT REPENT ...

17. "Should I See" from Frozen Ghost

cover my eyes and ears
til it all dissapears
how can you judge for me
what i should hear and see
you take away freedom of choice
take away the right to voice
my beliefs and and all my views
you take away my right to choose

chorus:
(na na na na na naaaah...)
show me what should i see
(na na na na na naaaah...)
make my mind up for me
(na na na na na naaaah...)
show me what should i see
(na na na na na naaaah...)
what should i see

how can you censor my thought
what is right what is not
how is it you decide
what i should feel inside
quoting god as you discuss
what is right and wrong for us
you inundate us with your views
you take away my right to choose

(repeat chorus)

you take away freedom of choice
you take away my right to voice
my beliefs and all my views
you take away my right to choose

(repeat chorus )

...make my mind up for me
show me what should i see

30. A Perfect Circle

released a new album on this election day. Called eMOTIVe - Songs about War, Peace, Love, and Greed. It's mostly covers of old anti-war anthems like Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On, and Lennon's Imagine, but there is one original that really captures the message I feel I am hearing today

Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums

don't fret precious, i'm here.
step away from the window. go back to sleep
safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils.
see, they don't give a fuck about you like i do.
count the bodies like sheep.
counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums.
go back to sleep.

i'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons.
i'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason.
i'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices, son.
they're one in the same
i must isolate you.
isolate and save you from yourself.
Sleep.
Sleep.
Sleep.

37. "Something's Gonna Die Tonight" (from the Hard Core Logo soundtrack)

Leave it to the Canadians to write a song that would give me enough anger to hang tough through the vote challenges.

Leave it to my own candidate to deflate every last bit of energy I had to keep fighting.

I've got a bullet in my pocket
Like a Barney Fife
I'm saving it up
For the right occasion
Like tonight
Feels pretty good, alright
All I gotta do is
Get me a gun
And stare down the barrel
And set my sights

There'll be no peace
There'll be no fight
When something's gonna
Die tonight
There ain't no point
In wrong or right
When something's gonna
Die tonight

Well there ain't no use
In trying to talk
It's been this way, baby
Since the Rock of Ages
When it rolled down the hill
And comes to a stop
Bogged us down
With it's extra baggage
That comes from the church
And the man on top

There'll be no peace
There'll be no fight
When something's gonna
Die tonight
There ain't no point
In wrong or right
When something's gonna
Die tonight


Ah, but what do ya do, man
When you get beat up
And your heart's crushed in
And you get let down
By a person, or a place,
Or something you trusted
Well, you put up a fight
Till what's lost is found
YEAH!

And you get knocked down
And you get beat up
And you reach for the bullet
And you wait around
For whatever it is, man
That got you busted
To get inside
To hit the ground

Well, there'll be no peace
There'll be no fight
When something's gonna
Die tonight
There ain't no point
In wrong or right
When something's gonna
Die tonight

49. Talkin' About A Revolution--Tracy Chapman

50. Township Rebellion by Rage

Rage Against the Machine


Why stand on a silent platform
Fight the war, F*ck the norm



Rebel, rebel and yell
'Cause our people still dwell in hell
Locked in a cell
Yes, the structure's a cell
Mad is the story I tell
How long can we wait?
Come on, seein' what's at stake
Action for reaction
If your mind's in a somewhat complacent state
Get a check up
This is a stick up
Our freedom or your life
Lord, I wish I could be peacful
But there can be no sequel
Now freedom must be fundamental
In Johannesburg or South Central
On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em
To kick in the township rebellion

Yeah, what about that, sucker?

Yeah, so you thought you could get with the hardlines
That fill your mind
Thoughts, battles fought
And lessons taught
Yes I'll display the fitness
And flip like a gymnast
Raise my fist and resist
Asleep, though we stand in the midst
Of a war
Gotta get mine
Gotta get more
Keepin' the mic warm against the norm
'Cause what does it offer me?
I think often it's nothin' but a coffin

Gotta get wreck
Till our necks never swing on a rope
From here to the cape of no hope

Now freedom must be fundamental
In Johannesburg or South Central
On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em
To kick in the township rebellion

Why stand on a silent platform?

Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm

Why stand on a silent platform?
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
What's it gonna take?
Euuurrrggghhhhh!
Shackle their minds when they're bent on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackle their minds when they're left on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackled our minds when we're bent on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackled our minds when we're left on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost, lost!
Shackle your minds and you're left on the cross!
When ignorance reigns, life is lost!
Just shackle your minds when you're bent on the cross!
When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost!

Why stand on a silent platform?
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
