What would be the perfect theme song for this revolution?

[Jerkface]

I was thinking Foo Fighters' "The Pretender" (http://www.skreemr.com/link.jsp?id=6059415157586A), or Muse's "Knights of Cydonia" (http://www.skreemr.com/link.jsp?id=6A5D4553525C).

Any other ideas?

Edit: The reason I ask is for a compilation I'd like to have.

"We're not going to take it"

[Elle]

It's a mystery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed

You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

There's those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like it's starting from the top
you can't do that...

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

"Secret Crowds" by Angels and Airwaves

I get inspired by it everytime I watch "Ron Paul Revolution Secret Crowds"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=otwKWzdu7Ps


(If I had my own world)
(I'd build you an empire)

If I had my own world
I'd fill it with wealth and desire
The glorious past to admire
And voices of kids out walking,
Dogs, birds, planes, cleanest cars

If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars, death or riots
There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots,
Guns, bombs sounding off,

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with its families,
Friends or its enemies

Let's make this a new world
I swear you can go if you want to
I know that you have that within you
Inventing the first clean and usable,
God's greatest miracle

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

WHy not just the Aimee Allen "Ron Paul Revolution" song??

[Jerkface]

Good recommendations. I have a couple of RAtM songs included already as well as Aimee Allen's and of course the main theme song.

I still like Foo Fighters The Pretender the most so far. It just fits so perfectly. The video is quite exceptional as well.

PERFECT SONG: "HOW FAR WE'VE COME"- MATCHBOX TWENTY

It's all about the lack of urgency the people have to change the world...such a good song- i listen to it while I run at the gym and it makes me think of Ron Paul and how proud I am of us.

sample lyrics from the chorus:

Cause I believe the world is coming to an end
Oh well I guess we're gonna pretend
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

[Captain Canuck]

Revolution by the Beatles

[SRRP77]

Here are the full lyrics to Matchbox 20-How Far We've Come

I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but its feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,

The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour if that,
and started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?

chorus:
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
I sat down on the street, took a look at myself
said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
say all goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to

I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come (right now)
let's see how far we've come

Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

Its gone gone baby its all gone
there is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it's over for me and it's over for you
well its gone gone baby its all gone
there's no one on the corner and there's no one at home
well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it's over for me and it's over for you

I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come, again
let's see how far we go
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we go
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we go
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we go
let's see how far we've come

[Jerkface]

Revolution by the Beatles

I like the lyrics, but I really wish I could learn to like their earlier music. I love the Beatles' later stuff though. (Saying this about the Beatles will probably get me banned :))

[Redmenace]

Anyone who thinks that the official theme song should not be Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" is a communist.

[WilliamC]

Maybe not for everyone but I really like Metallica "Wherever I May Roam"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=g_8bixXnEDY

You don't get more independent than this.

Or maybe "Tom Sawyer" by Rush

http://youtube.com/watch?v=U7DFsBcVMDA

edit: oh d@mn, now I've done and gone found music on youtube!

I haven't heard xanadu or cygnus X1 in years.....

[ryeruss]

I think Revolution by the Beatles. Hands Down.

Here is one for the all the people who doubt Ron Paul:
Was just listening to the following song this morning and immediately thought of the sheeples......

The Kinks

"Brainwashed"


You look like a real human being
But you don't have a mind of your own
Yeah, you can talk, you can breathe
You can work, you can stitch, you can sew
But you're brainwashed
Yes you are, yes you are
Get down on your knees

You've got a job and a house
And a wife, and your kids and a car
Yeah, you're conditioned to be
What they want you to be
And be happy to be where you are
Yes you are
Get down on your knees
Get down on your knees

The aristocrats and bureaucrats
Are dirty rats
For making you what you are
They're up there and you're down here
You're on the ground and they're up with the stars
All your life they've kicked you around and pushed you around
Till you can't take any more
To them you're just a speck of dirt
But you don't want to get up off the floor
Mister you're just brainwashed

They give you social security
Tax saving benefits that grow at maturity
Yeah, you're contented to be
What they want you to be
And to do what they want you to
Yes you are, yes you are
Get down on your knees

[malkusm]

Some more modern songs, the lyrics of which catch my attention:

Gomez - "Silence"

If I had something to say I'd say what I mean
How'd you lose all your words? I swear it's obscene, I curse
How'd you look at yourself as the mirror turns green?
Yeah, only the fools ignore us
Everyone 'round here lives in silence

I could wait all my life for someone to think
I can't open your eyes but I can make you blink at me
So please don't try to be nice, don't need your advice
Please leave me to die of boredom
Everyone 'round here lives in silence

Silence
They wait for the end
Silence
They bow and they bend
Silence
Their homes they defend
Silence


Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Throw Away Your Television"

Throw away your television
Take the noose off your ambition
Reinvent your intuition now
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

[NoMoreApathy]

"Lives In the Balance" - Jackson Browne

[Redmenace]

"New Orleans Is Sinking" by the Tragically Hip

[malkusm]

I also like interpreting Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" as America's financial situation...

If it keeps on raining, the levee's gonna break
When the levee breaks, we'll have no place to stay

Replace "if it keeps on raining" with "if we keep on spending" hahaha.

[Soccrmastr]

We Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who (Awesome song for the conservative movement!)

[Jassman]

Pretty much any NOFX song would work...

"USA-Holes"

It's like seeing a car crash from inside the car
The driver's got his head craned back he's telling you a joke
You see the bus on collision course
You point your arm and turn your head and wait for the impact
This is the feeling we learn to live with in North America
The morning headlines always accompanied with sweat and nausea
Every week another puzzle piece gets permanently glued into place

We see the iceberg from 15 miles away
The captain orders the ship to "stay the course"
"Full speed ahead" shouts the accurst
The next thing we heard was, "rich women and children first"
The ship is listing, the captain's placing blame on the iceberg
"That berg attacked us, I am declaring war on the Arctic"
Who could ever have predicted the greatest ship could so easily sink (duh)

Lifeboats are useless without rescue
The only ships show up for salvage
When setting sail on the St. Louis
We all knew what consequences could be
With the crew we had at the controls
There's no harbor age for the USA-holes
I doubt there's a benign God to save our souls
Cuz no one else is gonna save the USA-holes


Tell me you don't think that this song describes the Ron Paul movement perfectly...

"Wolves In Wolves' Clothing"

We are Rome, Aztec Mexico, Easter Island paradigm
We are followers of Jimmy Jones, cutting in the kool-aid line

We are Animal Farm Pigs, we are a Terry Gilliam film
We are fear Oligarchy, we are wolves in wolves' clothing,
We are this planet's kidney stones

In the process of getting passed, metamorphosis from first to last
A system breaking down beyond repairs
A product of three million millionaires, a hundred million easy marks

We are Marie Antoinette, we are Joseph McCarthy
We've finally become the divided states
A nation built on freedom, fear, and hate, the denotation of Irony

We all want a Hollywood end, but we're getting a foreign one
The script has already been penned, and titled, "the epitaph of a drowning nation"

"We March To The Beat Of An Indifferent Drum"

With our ass in the air and our heads in the ground
There's no sense of despair, without sight, without sound
We hold our ears and shut our eyes
Distant screams morph into lullabies
We beat indifferent drum, we pound it till we're numb

We validate, rationalize, corroborate each others lies
Pat my back and I'll pat yours, benevolent conquistadors
We piss down throats, shit in cupped hands
Wipe our asses with all foreign flags
We beat indifferent drum, we pound it till we're numb

20 feet high, 2 feet thick, barbed wire, razor blades
The wall was built to keep them out while keeping us in goose step parades
We don't question what we've become
We march to the beat of the same indifferent drum
We beat it till we're numb, we beat it till we're numb

[constituent]

joy division - atmosphere

"don't walk away in silence"

Black Sabbath
War Pigs:

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!

Artist: Earle Steve
Song: The Revolution Starts Now
Album: Revolution Starts Now


I was walkin’ down the street
In the town where I was born
I was movin’ to a beat
That I’d never felt before
So I opened up my eyes
And I took a look around
I saw it written ‘cross the sky
The revolution starts now
Yeah, the revolution starts now

The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
And tear the walls around you down
The revolution starts here
Where you work and where you play
Where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say
The revolution starts now
Yeah the revolution starts now

Yeah the revolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
So what you doin’ standin’ around?
Just follow your heart
The revolution starts now

Last night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
And all our hopes had come to be
And the people gathered ‘round
They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And I learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now

Lyrics:
###############


A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship
But use your freedom of choice

Ill say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice

In ancient rome there was a poem
About a dog who found two bones
He picked at one
He licked the other
He went in circles
He dropped dead

Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!

Then if you got it you dont want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Dont be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go

Ill say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice

Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!

In ancient rome
There was a poem
About a dog
Who found two bones
He picked at one
He licked the other
He went in circles
He dropped dead

Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want

Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful dimes
Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime

Come together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together, aha
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together, gotta, get together

Ohhhhhhhh!

Hey, c'mon, honey
You won't have along wait for me, baby
I'll be there in just a little while
You see, I gotta go out in this car with these people and...

Get together, got to

My favorite Rage ATM song:

KNOW YOUR ENEMY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Huh!
Yeah, we're comin' back then with another bombtrack
Think ya know what it's all about
Huh!
Hey yo, so check this out
Yeah!
Know your enemy!
Come on!

Born with insight and a raised fist
A witness to the slit wrist, that's with
As we move into '92
Still in a room without a view
Ya got to know
Ya got to know
That when I say go, go, go
Amp up and amplify
Defy
I'm a brother with a furious mind
Action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in

Something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em

Fist in ya face, in the place
And I'll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy...Know your enemy!
Yeah!

Hey yo, and dick with this...uggh!
Word is born
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence
With the D the E the F the I the A the N the C the E
Mind of a revolutionary
So clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The land of the free?
Whoever told you that is your enemy?

Now something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em

Now action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in

I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of sick of sick of sick of you
Time has come to pay...
Know your enemy!

Come on!
Yes I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams (8 times)
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams

Oh We're Not Gonna Take It

oh We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore

oh You're So Condescending
your Gall Is Never Ending

your Life Is Trite And Jaded
boring And Confiscated
if That's Your Best, Your Best Won't Do

"A Life of Illusion"
By Joe Walsh

Sometimes I can't help the feeling that I'm
Living a life of illusion
And oh, why can't we let it be
And see thru the hole in this wall of confusion
I just can't help the feeling I'm
Living a life of illusion

Pow, right between the eyes
Oh, how nature loves her little surprises
Wow, it all seems so logical now
It's just one of her better disguises
And it comes with no warning
Nature loves her little surprises
Continual crisis

Hey, don't you know it's a waste of your day
Caught up in endless solutions
That have no meaning, just another hunch
Based upon jumping conclusions
Caught up in endless solutions
Backed up against a wall of confusion
Living a life of illusion

[JK/SEA]

I'd like to hear this one at Ron Pauls winning the nomination party.

Song by Rx Bandits

Song: Overcome (the Recapitulation)

We've had.
We've had enough of the politicians
We've had enough yeah
Of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
What we need right now is love, come on
We've had enough of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
What we need right now is love
- -
(Turn it up)
The future is held in the hands who right the textbooks,
Ignorance is bred when falsified thinking is taught
To the youth instead of past mistakes and mind elevation,
Like the graves that manifest destiny has created.
So we can build our capitalist consumer based economy,
To build, market, and sell commodities we don't need.
But we are trained to believe like celebrity imaging
Well I'm here to take my feelings back and I hope that you will be with me
- -
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh,
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all singing together,
Ooooohhhhhh
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all singing together,
Ahhh,
- -
(Come on)
I can't wait for the day when I hear us all screaming,
HERE COMES THE REVOLUTION.
When every race color and creed of militant human beings stand up
With fists together for substance and true meaning
Because right now we got our feet stuck in cement
We're too caught up in a material status quo punishment
And one thing is for sure and that's the sun will always set,
Darling you can bet our moon is quite the opposite
So baby take a axe to your makeup kit
Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements
Love with all your hearts and never forget
How good it feels to be alive and strive for your desire
Just cause you can't see your cage doesn't mean that you are free
When there are laws against nature but its ok for you to be
Addicted to over the counter prescriptions
And magazines dictate all our human relations
- -
I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
To a culture that objectifies all of our women
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
The apathetic dribble on the news media’s chin
I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
The lies that are sold through textbooks to children
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
Cause the positive will always overcome the negative right
- -
And we stay inside, its right outside, we stand in line
We all enjoy the fences to keep it at bay
But I'm not giving in.

Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue.
And when the band plays hail to the chief,
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord,

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no senators son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no,

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, dont they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no millionaires son, no.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no.

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give?
Ooh, they only answer more! more! more! yoh,

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no military son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, one.

It aint me, it aint me, I aint no fortunate one, no no no,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no fortunate son, no no no...



Wont Get Fooled Again - The Who

Well be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

Ill tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then Ill get on my knees and pray
We dont get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, thats all
And the world looks just the same
And history aint changed
cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

Ill tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then Ill get on my knees and pray
We dont get fooled again
No, no!

Ill move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
Ill get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

Theres nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

Ill tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then Ill get on my knees and pray
We dont get fooled again
Dont get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss



Tom Sawyer - Rush

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Todays tom sawyer
Mean mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent,
Dont put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the days events.
The river

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

Todays tom sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.

No, his mind is not for rent
To any God or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes arent permanent,
But change is.

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.

Exit the warrior,
Todays tom sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.

Doctor, my eyes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp4mjkddMD4) by Jackson Browne

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
Ive been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That its later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if its too late for me

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry

[Agent CSL]

"Frontline"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=p-3gmRslIks

It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death
Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet
I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down
You and I will be the ones that are holding the Crown in the end

When it's over, we can say, "Well done"
But not yet, 'cause it's only begun
So, pick up, and follow me, we're the only ones
To fight this thing, until we've won

We drive on and don't look back
It doesn't mean we can't learn from our past
All the things that we mighta' done wrong
We could've been doing this all along

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

And we'll be carrying on, until the day it doesn't matter anymore
Step aside, you forgot what this is for
We fight to live, we live to fight
And tonight, you'll hear my battle cry
We live our lives on the frontlines
We're not afraid of the fast times
These days have opened up my eyes
And now, I see where the threat lies

We've got to lead the way

[justatrey]

Anyone else like their music a little heavier than Marc Scibilia, check out United States by Smashing Pumpkins.

Tired eyes closed for days
there's no regret, 'cause there's no place
I don't know what I believe
but if I feel safe, what do I need
Revolution!

The Times they are a changin

Bob Dylan

Lyrics

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

Mr. Shiny Caddylackness

Has your child completed his or suspicious activity booklet?
Don’t let this summer go to waste.
The enemy is preparing their children are you?
Time to show them who’s boss.
Moloch demands fresh blood to maintain the appetite of his mechanical heart.
Will you sacrifice your first born like Abraham would his Isaac?
Will you sacrifice your first born like Abraham would his Isaac?

Tell me, why Dick Cheney underneath my bed?
Hell no that ain’t cool!
Tendin’ to the lips of a wooden head.
No sir, that ain’t cool.
Come on now take one for the team.
Stick it to the man, stick it to the man.
Raise the dagger high above Isaac
and drive down as hard as you can.

Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
Stand fast, upset the system, so many tomorrows to sell.
Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
Stand fast, upset the system, so many tomorrows to sell.

Mother, mother, don’t want to work on the farm no more.
Father, father, don’t want to wear you uniform.
Mary, Mary, keep me safe and comforted.
Father, father, raise that dagger above your head.

Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
All goes exactly as planned so many tomorrows to sell.
Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
Stand fast, upset the system, so many tomorrows to sell.

Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
All goes exactly as planned so many tomorrows to sell.
Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
Stand fast, upset the system, so many tomorrows to sell.

All you ready to prove your love to the Lord?
I said are you willing to prove your love to the Lord?
As Abraham handed down his first born on a stone.
Do you wonder what is right and what is wrong?

[ToryNotion]

No use picking any song that listeners can not hear or understand the words and requires much thought to relate the words to the images. Doomer do you listen to Cathedral? I was listening to their first album a few days ago (released in 1991) and at the end of the song 'Serpents Eve' you can plainly hear '911' spoken twice in a femal voice. Weird.

"Higher Ground"

[ToryNotion]

Stevie's 'Big Brother' would be the basis for a great pro-civil liberties, pro-Ron Paul video.

"Big Brother"

Your name is big brother
You say that you're watching me on the tele,
Seeing me go nowhere,
Your name is big brother,
You say that you're tired of me protesting,
Children dying everyday,
My name is nobody
But I can't wait to see your face inside my door

Your name is big brother
You say that you got me all in your notebook,
Writing it down everyday,
Your name is I'll see ya,
I'll change if you vote me in as the pres,
The President of your soul
I live in the ghetto,
You just come to visit me 'round election time

I live in the ghetto,
Someday I will move on my feet to the other side,
My name is secluded,
we live in a house the size of a matchbox,
Roaches live with us wall to wall,

You've killed all our leaders,
I don't even have to do nothin' to you
You'll cause your own country to fall

Higher ground

People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long

Powers keep on lyin'
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long

I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach the highest ground

Teachers keep on teachin'
Preachers keep on preachin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no

Lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no

I'm so glad that he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground...Whew!
Till I reach my highest ground
No one's gonna bring me down
Oh no
Till I reach my highest ground
Don't you let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you have around

The Obvious Child by Paul Simon.......the lyrics and the music are perfect.....plus it appeals to baby boomers.

[ToryNotion]

"Shove that warrant up your ass" - GG Allin.

That song is going to get us the 40+ vote. Have you ever heard the Drive-By Truckers song 'The Night GG Allin came to town'. It's hysterical. I think they did a great song about the presidents brain being missing too. Too bad the Truckers are firmly in the grip of the enemy side.

[ToryNotion]

Not a candidate for a RP theme song but if GG Allin is in the discussion then....

The President's Penis is Missing by the Drive-By Truckers
(NEWS FLASH!!!) (scene: the press corps have descended upon the White House, a spokesperson begins to speak:)

“They looked in the White House and Capitol Hill
They looked everywhere for Buffalo Bill
We called every scholar, reporter, and genius
Has anyone seen the President’s penis?”

“It ain’t in the Congress or Judiciary
It ain’t in the Smithsonian or that big ole library
an astronomer claims it was sighted on Venus
Has anyone seen the President’s penis?”

(now the entire press corp. erupts in song:)
“THE PRESIDENT’S PENIS IS MISSING OLE’!!!
WE SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW, EVERY NIGHT EVERYDAY
LORD, WON’T YOU COME DOWN AND REDEEM US
HAS ANYONE SEEN THE PRESIDENT’S PENIS?”

(at this point, legendary news man Walter Cronkite returns from the moon to add his commentary:)
“Now Presidents have goofed up in all kinds of ways
in the 80’s we elected one missing his brain
George Washington caught a cold he couldn’t explain
and we all know the truth about Thomas Jefferson’s name”

(suddenly William Randolph Hurst rises from the grave and bellows out in an Orson Welles type voice:)
“Franklin D. Roosevelt wasn’t no square
with that raging Woodrow in his wheelchair
and all the lesbians snickered that Elenor didn’t care
and John Kennedy’s penis was seen everywhere”

(once again everyone breaks out in gleeful song:)
“THE PRESIDENT’S PENIS IS MISSING OLE’!!!
WE SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW EVERY NIGHT EVERY DAY
LORD WON’T YOU COME DOWN AND REDEEM US
HAS ANYONE SEEN THE PRESIDENT’S PENIS?”

(the scene shifts to Sen. John Glenn, wandering pensively, somewhere in space:)
“Them outer space people would laugh if they’d seen us
all this talk about cum-stains and oral coitus
meanwhile the whole world suffers from hunger and meanness
but we’re more concerned with the President’s penis”

THE END?

Sent you a pm with the lyrics. The Truckers are great and there albums routinely wind up on critics best of lists but they don't sell for squat. I'd find a way to get you an mp3 of the song but my mp3 hard drive died and my copy of the cd is in storage. Really good band worth checking out.

"I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty

[gaazn]

jimi hendrix's star spangled banner

[PatriotG]

You can't control me tell me what to do
chained in mediocrity so I can be like you
I am not a statue not part of a machine
I'm sick and tired of the whole routine
calculate your future, computerise your past
instant replay if it's gone too fast
take away my freedom, take away my home
i'm only human but it might now show
I'm not made of stone

I'm a freedom fighter I got something to say
I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way

Hide behind your politics, hide behind your rules
tell me I'm a man but you treat me like a fool
it's the same old story with a different name
you give us all a number and nothing changes
out in the winter of a world upon it's knees
everyone is watching but no one sees
you can't take my freedom you know it is my right
if you try and stop me I'm gonna fight
with all of my might

I'm a freedom fighter and I'm taking command
I'm a freedom fighter and I'm making a stand

Fighting for breath as the world gathers speed
time's running out for the things that I need

I'm a freedom fighter I gotta take a stand
I'm a freedom fighter, yeah that's what I am
I'm a freedom fighter I can't take it no more
I'm a freedom fighter no no more
I'm a freedom fighter but I'm not afraid
I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way.

Just in case you haven't heard Jim Boyd's My Heart Drops but I'm Proud:

My Heart Drops But I'm Proud lyrics

Well I remember back when
I went to school
Teacher said son don't forget
that golden rule
Were more important things
for me to find out
My heart drops but I'm proud
My dad spent twenty years in a uniform of blue
This Air Force Indian man
wouldn't tell us what he knew
Now that he's gone there's things I'll
never know about
My heart drops but I'm proud
Ya my heart drops but I'm proud
I can't forget how they killed
John Kennedy
I can't forget what they did
at Wounded Knee
I've lived in two worlds
both wanting to be free
Don't try to tell me what
my country means to me
Star Spangled Banner
and the sound of the drum
Tell their own stories under the same sun
I love this country
but I some times have my doubts
My heart drops but I'm proud
Ya my heart drops but I'm proud
I can't forget how they killed
John Kennedy
I can't forget what they did
at Wounded Knee
I've lived in two worlds
both wanting to be free
Don't try to tell me what
my country means to me
My heart drops but I'm proud
Ya my heart drops but I'm proud

Nothing like hearing this Spokane Indian man sing with conviction, "Don't try to tell me what my country means to me" to make you want to slap a knee-jerk, narrow-minded conventional thinker cross-eyed.

Flat broke and busted, crapped out again

Maybe tomorrow, I?ll see the light
And I?ll know the difference, ?tween wrong and right
My ship is out there, but it can?t come in
Flat broke and busted, crapped out again

refrain

And now I?m hangin? on tight, to the end of my rope
Somebody call me a preacher, yeah, let?s call the Pope
Just the flip of a coin, the turn of a card
I?ll be back up on top, damn, I?ll be livin? large

instrumental break ? blues harp 4 bars
My ship is out there, but it can?t come in
Flat broke and busted, all crapped out, crapped out again

Disorder in the House by Warren Zevon

[Bold As Love]

I've seen it here already but I think my favorite for the revolution right now is

Won't Get Fooled Again
The Who

Another personal favorite that applies, philisophically

2112
Rush

[Mr. White]

Send in the clowns... can't remember who it is by.

[sicsempertyrannis]

Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Wont you sign up your name, wed like to feel youre
Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!

"I'm Free"

The Who

I'M FREE-I'm free,
And freedom tastes of reality,
I'm free-I'm free,
AN' I'm waiting for you to follow me.

If I told you what it takes
to reach the highest high,
You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple'

I'm free-I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality

I'm free-I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me.

Chorus:

How can we follow?
How can we follow

Say what you will, but I've always loved Amazing Grace, I think it is one of the most awesome songs in our nation's history.

Derek Webb
The State

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqPfT_HpXZU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

i was free to live and love and kill as i saw fit
i was at peace, there really was no one i was at war with
the only common good was that we understood that laws unjust were only good for breaking
that difference legalized instead of sameness left nobody free
that was the day before i married my conscience to the state

my taxes paid, these roads were laid to places of my choosing
there were no eyes up in the skies looking down into my bed
there was no government without our consent
keys were made for anyone who just claimed it
glass was all of every wall that framed it
from sea to shining sea
that was the day before i married my conscience to the state

right and wrong were written on my heart and not just in the laws that condemn me
now with caesar satisfied i can even do the things that should offend me

[TheGrinch]

To those who said the Beatles' Revolution, realize that it's actually saying that things will be alright without radical revolution.

Lyrics from the song where my sig came from, the Dead's Throwing Stones:

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me
A peaceful place, or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face
But afraid we may lay our home to waste

There's a fear down here we can't forget
Hasn't got a name just yet
Always awake, always around
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Now watch as the ball revolves and the night-time falls (note 1)
And again the hunt begins and again the blood wind calls (note 2)
By and by, again, the morning sun will rise
But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes
(Well I know)
It strolls the sidewalk and it rolls the streets
Staking turf, dividing up meat
Nightmare spook, piece of heat
It's you and me, you and me

Click flash blade in ghetto night
Rudy's looking for a fight
Rat cat alley, roll them bones
Need that cash to feed that Jones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Commissars and pinstripe bosses roll the dice
Anyway they fall, guess who gets to pay the price? (note 3)
Money green, or proletarian gray (note 4)
Selling guns instead of food today (note 5)
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
If the spirit's sleeping then the flesh is ink
History's page will be neatly carved in stone
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own
On our own, on our own, we are on our own

If the game is lost, then we're all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or that shining ball of blue we call our home

So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Shipping powders back and forth
Singing black goes south and white comes north (note 6)
And the whole world full of petty wars
Singing I got mine and you got yours
While the current fashions set the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace
The radical, he rant and rage
Singing someone got to turn the page
And the rich man in his summer home
Singing just leave well enough alone
But his pants are down, his cover's blown
And the politicians throwing stones
So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
'Cause it's all too clear we're on our own
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It's dizzying, the possibilities

Ashes, ashes, all fall down
[Ashes, ashes, all fall down]
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
[Ashes, ashes, all fall down]
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
[Ashes, ashes, all fall down]
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
[Ashes, ashes, all fall down]

[TheGrinch]

To be clear though, "ashes, ashes all fall down" does not appear to be advocating revolution either, but a great political song nonetheless.

There are lots of really good ones. But IMHO, this is the only perfect one ...

Chris de Burgh: The Revolution - Light a Fire - Liberty

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdT9oq7VBDA


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdT9oq7VBDA

The Revolution

Wake up boys, there's a light at the window
I can hear someone knocking on the door
There are voices in the street
And the sound of running feet
And they whisper the word --
"Revolution!"

There are men coming down from the valleys
There are tall ships lying off the coast
And they carry the light
In the dark of the night
Like a whisper in the wind --
"Revolution!"

Bring my gun and a handful of silver
By the sea we will gather for the fight
It's been so many years, so many tears
We have lost once before
Now we'll settle the score
When our cannons will roar --
"Revolution!"

Light a Fire

Watch and wait, get ready for the sign
There are many here among us now
Who have not seen the light
We must send the word to all the people in the land
Go to every hill and mountain
For the time is now at hand
To light a fire!
Light a fire!
Light a fire!

Let us march the road up the rocky hill tonight
Under cover of the darkness
We will slip behind the lines
And we will take the men who have stolen our land
For the years of domination
Hit them right between the eyes
And light a fire!
Light a fire!
Light a fire!

They will see through the world!

Liberty

Roll away the dawn
Roll away the dawn and let me see
The land of the free
Has anything changed at all?

Sweet liberty
Sweet liberty is in our hands
It's part of the plan
Or is it a state of mind?

Horses and men
Horses and men are on the field
They didn't yield
Many have fallen here

Never forget
Never forget what they have done
The time will come
When it will change again

Never forget!

If peace won't come then let it be here when I'm gone
Hold me like a child and sell me like a diamond for ransom
Well, that isn't fair, you get to play the lottery with second chances
So, whether you win today, the rest of us lost every game
Okay, if those are your rules, I'll beat the system
I'm not afraid to play the game and I won't let things remain the same

Chained or captive, I'll be there, split the difference
You're no longer here, I'm bound just by the power of you, the rest ado
Well, that isn't fair, you get to play the lottery with second chances
So, whether you win today, the rest of us lost every game
Okay, if those are your rules, I'll beat the system
I'm not afraid to play the game, I'll beat the system
And I wont' let things remain the same

The power of the struggle, the push and the pull
I was already on top but missed the control
Women think it's superior but listen
Was played like a part in a selfish ambition
Now the power of the struggle, the push and the pull
Is inconvenient and even comfortable
But I'm not staying in this place no more
In this way no more and I'll say no more

How long did you think you could silence me?
Well, that isn't fair, you get to play the lottery with second chances
So, whether you win today, the rest of us lost every game
Okay, if those are your rules

Well, that isn't fair, you get to play the lottery with second chances
So, whether you win today, the rest of us lost every game
Okay, if those are your rules, I'll beat the system
I'm not afraid to play the game, I'll beat the system
And I won't let things remain the same, I'll beat the system
I'm not afraid to play the game, I'll beat the system
And I won't let things remain the same

I always liked Steve Earle's "The Revolution Starts Now"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG8ZUaLACZ8

I was walkin’ down the street
In the town where I was born
I was movin’ to a beat
That I’d never felt before
So I opened up my eyes
And I took a look around
I saw it written ‘cross the sky
The revolution starts now
Yeah, the revolution starts now

The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
And tear the walls around you down
The revolution starts here
Where you work and where you play
Where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say
The revolution starts now
Yeah the revolution starts now

Yeah the revolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
So what you doin’ standin’ around?
Just follow your heart
The revolution starts now

Last night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
And all our hopes had come to be
And the people gathered ‘round
They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And I learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now

R3volution - Don't Tread On Me

Let me tell you a tale about history
About the remnant of the brave and free
Strike the root of the tyrant's tree
A Constitutional remedy

Back in 1776
Fed up with the tyrant's tricks
They took an armed stand to be free
The shout rang out Don't Tread On Me!

[chorus]
A shot rang out across the land
A ragtag band would make its stand
A time to die or be free
Hear it foe Don't Tread On Me!

A shot rang out across the land
A ragtag band would make its stand
A time to die or be free
Hear it foe Don't Tread On Me!

[verse 2]
And learned men would take their hand
And document their maker's grant
Of life and freedom and liberty
A Constitutional remedy

But contracts are not without due force
And history had to take it's course
They knew that to live their philosophy
That I stand by you and you stand by me

[chorus]

[verse 3]
Father and brother took up arms
Shopkeeper, brewer and local farmer
Roustabout, rogue and livery
Joined in the fight to be free

Natural law and the rights of Man
For the first time there would take a stand
And change the course of history
And toll the bells of liberty

[chorus]

[verse 4]
They rattled 'em hard and knocked 'em to hell
The devils retreated, their agents had fell
Strike the root with the sword of the free
Show em your sovereignity

Blood of patriots waters the tree
That keeps the mothers and children free
If yer a real man you'll make your stand
Against the tyrants active hand

Rev9 & The Remnants
R3volution - Don't Tread On Me

[jllundqu]

The hand that feeds by Nine Inch Nails:


You're keeping in step in the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
'Cause you do what you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold

Just how deep do you believe?

Will you bite the hand that feeds?

Will you chew until it bleeds?


Can you get up off your knees?

Are you brave enough to see?

Do you want to change it?


What if this whole crusade's a charade?

And behind it all there's a price to be paid

For the blood which we dine

Justified in the name of the holy and the divine


Just how deep do you believe?

Will you bite the hand that feeds?

Will you chew until it bleeds?


Can you get up off your knees?

Are you brave enough to see?

Do you want to change it?


[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-hand-that-feeds-lyrics-nine-inch-nails.html ]

[Inaudible]
[Inaudible]


So naive, I keep holding on to what I want to believe

I can see but I keep holding on and on and on and on


Will you bite the hand that feeds you?

Will you stay down on your knees?

Will you bite the hand that feeds you?

Will you stay down on your knees?


Will you bite the hand that feeds you?

Will you stay down on your knees?

Will you bite the hand that feeds you?

Will you stay down on your knees?


Will you bite the hand that feeds you?

Will you stay down on your knees?

Will you bite the hand that feeds you?

Will you stay down on your knees?


Will you bite the hand that feeds you?

Will you stay down on your knees?

Will you bite the hand that feeds you?

Will you stay down on your knees

Gentlemen we have called you together to inform you that we are going to overthrow the United States government
Do you still think that jet fuel brought down the World Trade Center?
[Laughter]
Does anybody else see a problem here?
If the government has nothing to hide why are they so afraid to answer a few questions?
This story does not add up

I'm on a mission to never forget
3, 000 people that I've never met
We want some answers and all that we get
Some kind of shit about a terrorist threat
Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies [x3]
Surprise surprise

Lies Lies

I'm on a mission to dig up the truth
You think we're stupid and there's no proof
Well let me tell you that the time has come
To pull the trigger on the smoking gun
Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies [x3]
Surprise surprise

Lies Lies Lies Lies

[Chorus]
Don't listen to me listen to your head
Don't listen
Don't listen to anything, they've said
Don't listen

Lies Lies Lies Lies

America has been hijacked
Not by Al Qaeda, not by Bin Laden
But by a group of tyrants
That should be of great concern to all Americans

I'm on a mission to bring out the facts
You got your stories but they all have cracks
Misinformation, lies and deceit
What made you think that we were all asleep
Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies [x3]
Surprise surprise

Lies Lies Lies Lies

[Chorus]
Don't listen to me listen to your head
Don't listen
Don't listen to anything, they've said
Don't listen

Don't listen to me listen to your head

But the song that keeps me awake at night:

Not all monsters are bad
But the ones who are good
Never do what they could, never do what they could

All the good monsters rattle their chains
And dance around the open flames
They make a lot of empty noise

While all of the bright eyes turn away
As if there wasn't anything to say
About the justice and the mystery

Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?
We are bored of all the things that we know
And we are forms of everything we love, we love..

If good won't show its ugly face,
Evil won't you take your place?
Nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
By itself

Give me a world
That's equal on all sides
Let freedom flow
As constant as the tides
I pray with each sunset
Don't forget to rise
I live without regret for ordinary lives

I'm looking at life through my own eyes
Searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain as innocence dies
I'm looking at life through my own eyes

I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way
I'm looking at life
Through my own eyes

I see a land
With liberty for all
Yet still I know
The truth will rise and fall
That's just the way it goes
A word now to the wise
The world was made to change
Each day is a surprise

I'm looking at life through my own eyes
Searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain as innocence dies
I'm looking at life through my own eyes

I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way
I'm looking at life
Through my own eyes

And I know when you're looking for the truth
If you go
And read between the lines
You'll discover how and why

I take my heart into battle
Give that freedom bell a rattle
Get my independence signed
Declare it on the dotted line
Let the Philadelphia freedom ring
And patriotic, voices sing
Red, white, and blue never give up
You represent America

I'm looking at life through my own eyes
Searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain as innocence dies
I'm looking at life through my own eyes

I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way
I'm looking at life
Through my own eyes
