Exhuming McCarthy by R.E.M.

You're beautiful more beautiful than me
You're honorable more honorable than me
Loyal to the Bank of America

It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times

You're sharpening stones walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.

Vested interest united ties landed gentry rationalize
Look who bought the myth by jingo buy America

It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times

You're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business acumen.

Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America

"Let us not assassinate this man further Senator,
You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir?
At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

We're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business acumen.

Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik
You've seen start and you've seen quit
(I'm addressing the table of content)
I always thought of you as quick
Exhuming McCarthy
(Meet me at the book burning)
Exhuming McCarthy
(Meet me at the book burning)

YET ANOTHER VERY APT SONG FOR TODAY. WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT AT SOME POINT THERE WILL BE A "HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY AT ALL SIR?" MOMENT. IT WAS THIS MOMENT AFTER YEARS OF THE RED SCARE AND THE HOUSE UNAMERICAN ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE THAT FINALLY BROUGHT MCCARTHYS REIGN OF FEAR AND HATE TO AN END.

Roads by Portishead

Oh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

Storm, in the morning light
I feel, no more can I say
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right

And surely that ain't right

Oh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

Oh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

THERE MAY INDEED BE A WAR TO FIGHT... BUT THE WAR MAY ALREADY BE LOST... SO IS IT WORTH FIGHTING THEN? OR DO YOU JUST WATCH AS THINGS FALL APART?

How You Remind Me by Nickelback

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as
A poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without
A sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you
A heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong
I've been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream
Are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no

It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and
I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with him must have
Damn near killed you

And this is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you
A heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong
I've been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream
Are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, yet, no no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as
A poor man stealing
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me

This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you
A heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong
I've been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream
Are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah
Are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah
Are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah
Are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah, no, no

BERV LIKES NICKELBACK

The End is the Beginning is The End By Smashing Pumpkins

The sewers belch me up
The heavens spit me out
From Ether's tragic I am born again
And now I'm with you now
Inside your world of wow
To move in desires made of deadly pretends
Till the end times begin

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange

Climb my ribcage to
The replays run for you
Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash
For I am crystal chrome
I am shatter dome
I am Kremlin king of angels avenged
To destroy the end

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain

The zeppelins rain upon us
The guns of love disastrous
A shadow lies amongst you
To defy the future cast

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Strange

SINCE 'EVERYBODY KNOWS' HAS ALREADY BEEN USED IN SONGTIME I GIVE YOU ANOTHER SONG FOR TODAY AND WHAT IT REPRESENTS TO AMERICA

Wilderness Song by Dan Bern

I have been one who loved the wilderness
And crept between the mountain peaks
I have listened long to the sea’s brave music
On canyon trails, where the night winds were a’blowin
Blowing, sighin gently thru the pines
Musing, I walked behind my placid burro
While water rushed and broke on the rocks below
I sang my songs above the shriek of desert winds
Above the shriek of desert winds I sang my songs
I have known a green sea’s heaving,
I have loved the twisted trees
Red sand a blowin neath the turquoise skies
I have felt the rain a driftin, and slept behind the waterfall
And aspen glades that whisper wild sorrows
In cool sweet grasses I have lain and I have heard
The ghostly murmur of regret
I sang my songs above the shriek of desert winds
Above the shriek of desert winds I sang my songs
I have watched the clouds pile high
Singing I rode to meet the storm
And fought its fury til the sun fell in darkness
And the lightning heard my song
Say that I starved, say I’s lost and I was weary
Say that I was burned and blinded by the sun
Say that I was thirsty, sick and cold and lonely
But say that I kept to my dream
Always shall I be one who loves the wilderness
Swaggers soft between the mountain peaks
I shall sing my song above the shriek of desert winds
Above the shriek of desert winds I shall sing my song

I BELIEVE IN WILDERNESS. I LONG FOR IT AND ITS HEALING POWERS. I ALSO REALIZE I AM IN WILDERNESS RIGHT NOW. PERHAPS NEVER TO COME OUT. PERHAPS JUST TO RUN AROUND IN THE WOODS LIKE JOHN EATHING HONEY COMB AND LOCUSTS.

Gravitie's Rainbow by Klaxons

Come on with me through ruined lipglock
Across Tangian deserts, we'll flock
Madcap Medusa, flank my foghorn
We'll change four seasons with our first born

All ships of sense on hyper ocean
All kites of chaos, still in motion
My culture vulture, such a dab hand
I'll steal you from the year 4000

Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love

Your tears leave trails of [Incomprehensible]
Autonoma, the [Incomprehensible]
Most crippled lines that I can't get to
You'd slip through time but I won't let you

Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love

Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love

Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love

Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love

DUDE HOW BOUT BEING FOCUSED ON THE PRESENT

You Love Me by Devotchka

Under the mothering eyes of the Mexican sky
She was happy and it shows in the sun
And it was fate laid in stone
Sacred heart, sacred ground
Her two children and we moved as one

And you said you loved me
You said you loved me

Now there’s something missing
when you’re kissing me
It’s subtle yet it’s gone
And then I’m suspicious
And then it gets vicious
And then it’s a hole right through the heart

And you said you loved me
I thought you loved me

Now there is an ocean of time
Between your life and mine
You look happy and you’re married again
And Oh my Lord how you’ve grown
To find me still alone
I am humble
I’m still trying to forget

When you said you loved me
I thought you loved me

WELL... THAT WILL TEACH HIM.

A Dream by Common

(I am happy...I Have a Dream) I got a Dream
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out out out
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out out out
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out
(I Have a Dream) I got a Dream
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out out out
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out out out
(That One Day ) We gonna work it out
(I Have a Dream) I got a Dream
(That One Day) That one day
(That One Day) I'ma look deep within myself
(I Have a Dream) I gotta find a way...
My Dream Is To Be Free
My Dream Is To Be
My Dream Is To Be
My Dream Is To Be Free

[Verse 1:]
In search of brighter days, I ride through the maze of the madness,
Struggle is my address, where pain and crack lives,
Gunshots comin' from sounds of Blackness,
Given this game with no time to practice,
Born on the Black list, told I'm below average,
A life with no cabbage,
That's no money if you from where I'm from,
Funny, I just want some of your sun,
Dark clouds seem to follow me,
Alcohol that my pops swallowed bottled me,
No apology, I walk with a boulder on my shoulder,
It's a Cold War - I'm a colder soldier,
Hold the same fight that made Martin Luther the King,
I ain't usin' it for the right thing,
In between Lean and the fiends, hustle and the schemes,
I put together pieces of a Dream
I still have one

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
The world's seen me lookin' in the mirror,
Images of me, gettin' much clearer,
Dear Self, I wrote a letter just to better my soul,
If I don't express it then forever I'll hold, inside
I'm from a side where we out of control,
Rap music in the 'hood played a fatherly role,
My story's like yours, yo it gotta be told,
Tryna make it from a gangsta to a godlier role,
Read scrolls and stow slaves,
And Jewish people in cold cage,
Hate has no color or age, flip the page,
Now my rage became freedom,
Writin' dreams in the dark, they far but I can see 'em,
I believe in Heaven more than Hell,
Blessings more than jail,
In the ghetto let love prevail,
With a story to tell, my eyes see the glory and well,
The world waitin' for me to yell "I Have a Dream"

[Chorus]

IT IS A VERY DARK TIME MLK. BUT I STILL BELIEVE YOUR WORDS. THE ARCH OF THE UNIVERSE IS LONG BUT IT BENDS TOWARD JUSTICE.

What Would You Say by The Dave Matthews Band

Up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin

Rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by

What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say

I was there when the bear
Are his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end
Knock knock on the door
Who's it for, there's nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friend

I don't understand at best
And cannot speak for all the rest
In the morning rise
A lifetime's passed me by

What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say

Every dog has its day every day has its way
Of being forgotten -
Mom it's my birthday
What would you say

THIS SONG AND THIS ALBUM REMIND ME OF SANTA FE SUMMER 1995

I'll Stick Around by Foo Fighters

I thought I knew all it took to bother you
Every word I said was true that you'll see

How could it be I'm the only one who sees your rehearsed insanity

I still refuse all the methods you've abused
It's all right if you're confused let me be

I've been around all the pawns
You've gagged and bound
They'll come back and knock you down and I'll be free

I've taken all and I've endured
One day it all will fade
I'm sure

I don't owe you anything

I had no other hand in your ever desperate plan
It returns and when it lands words are due

I should've known we were better off alone
I looked in and I was shown
You were too

I've taken all and I've endured
One day it all will fade
I'm sure

I don't owe you anything

I'll stick around and learn from all that came from it

A FOO FIGHTER IS WHAT THE AIR FORCE CALLS A UFO. OR DID DURING THE WWII ERA. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE MY UNCLE WAS A FIGHTER PILOT IN WWII AND LATER INVESTIGATED UFO SIGHTINGS. HE SAID ALL BUT ONE OF THE ONES HE INVESTIGATED WAS EXPLAINABLE. THE ONE WAS OF COURSE THE BEGINNING OF THE ALIEN INVASION THAT HAS NOW RESULTED IN THE ELECTION OF AN ALIEN AS PRESIDENT.

You Should Consider Having Sex With a Bearded Man by The Beards

You catch his eye, from across the room you catch his eye
You think ‘oh my, he’s got quite the beard, oh my’
And now you want to but you can’t look away
His beard is black and bushy with a hint of grey
And now you find yourself walking his way
Hey hey

You should consider having sex with a bearded man
You’re getting these feelings that you can’t understand
(Sex with a bearded man)
You think you can’t but you can
Don’t try to fight, just get freaky with a beard tonight

Don’t be scared, his beard is soft to the touch, don’t be scared
You get some hair, in your mouth when you kiss him you get some hair
You’ve never been with a man like him before
But each time you look at that beard, you want it more
And now he’s asking you, ”my place or yours?”
Good lord

You are about to have sex with a bearded man
He rubs his bristles on your mammary glands

(Sex with a bearded man)
This wasn’t part of the plan
Don’t try to fight, just get freaky with a beard tonight

And now you grab him by his facial hair
He’s got some food stuck in his beard but you don’t care
You say “rub that beard on me everywhere”
Oh yeah

Now it appears you’re having sex with a bearded man
His sweaty beard is drips like a watering can
(Sex with a bearded man)
Just take your life in your hands, and ride that bearded man

And he’ll leave you with a glint in your eye
A bit of loose beard hair on your bedside
And some pash-rash between your thighs, oh my
Congratulations you’ve had sex with a bearded man

NO ARGUMENT HERE... HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH,
