Caution's subversive song of the day

[Caution]

Today's Song is Tommy Gun by The Clash. Very apropos for these days.

I've bolded my favorite bit.

Tommy gun
You ain’t happy less you got one
Tommy gun
Ain’t gonna shoot the place up
Just for fun
Maybe he wants to die for the money
Maybe he wants to kill for his country
Whatever he wants, he’s gonna get it!

Tommy gun
You better strip it down for a custom run
Tommy gun
Waiting in the airport ’till kingdom come
An’ we can watch you make it
On the nine o’clock news
Standing there in palestine lighting the fuse
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it

Tommy gun
You’ll be dead when your war is won
Tommy gun
But did you have to gun down everyone?
I can see it’s kill or be killed
A nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it!

Tommy gun
You can be a hero in an age of none
Tommy gun
I’m cutting out your picture from page one
I’m gonna get a jacket just like yours
An’ give my false support to your cause
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it!

Boats an’ tanks and planes, it’s your game
Kings an’ queens an’ generals learn your name
I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice
And if death comes so cheap
Then the same goes for life!

1. Thanks Caution

I enjoy seeing what you have picked. :hi:

[Caution]

2. Thanks for paying attention

I'm sorta doing it for my own benefit (building out a fun, very political play list for my ipod) but it's nice that there are a few of you paying attention (at least 5 that I know of) :)

Suggestions are always welcome too!

3. I will have to ponder this question

I like protest songs from all eras. I have been on an NOFX kick of late. :)
