Song that brings a lump to my throat
Desaparecidos - The Happiest Place on Earth.

It makes me think of everything that has changed because Bush2 stole the WH and how it is so difficult now to imagine a positive future for this country. More and more it looks like we are headed for a repeat of the Civil War, only with the South holding the reins of the federal government this time, forcing their version of the Reconstruction down our Yankee throats.

Anybody else got political songs that kick ass?

2. "In these days of evil Presidentes...
...workin' for the Clampdown! No man born with a living soul can be workin' for the Clampdown!"

Joe Strummer was a friggin' prophet. Or nothing has changed an iota in this world in the 2o+ years since this was written.

I used to pound my fist in the air and choke back a sob singing the line "Let fury have the hour, anger can be power if you know that you can use it!"
