Here's my entry in the "election" song threads...

I was listening to this old song, and the lyrics were so appropriate ("I used to trust the media to tell me the truth"). With just a few minor changes here and there, the lyrics were closer to the Ron Paul message...had to change the opening lines, as they didn't really make any sense outside of the concept album they were part of...

Anyone remember this one?

rEVOLution Calling
-----------------------

I always wished there was a candidate,
that upheld the Constitution,
and quit destroying our rights with bad law
Then I heard of Dr. Paul
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

rEVOLution calling
rEVOLution calling
rEVOLution calling you
(There's a) rEVOLution calling
rEVOLution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I'm tired of all this bullshit
They keep selling me on T.V.
About the Middle East plan
And all the shady preachers
Begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their
Secretaries the slam

They're all in politics now
For special lobbys, billion dollar entitlements to sell
With the taxpayers being robbed
for the war machine, it's wrong
Everyone's using everybody, making the sale

I used to think
That only the President's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a trillion doesn't matter who dies

rEVOLution calling
rEVOLution calling
rEVOLution calling you
(There's a) rEVOLution calling
rEVOLution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

rEVOLution calling
rEVOLution calling
rEVOLution calling you
(There's a) rEVOLution calling
rEVOLution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I love it!
I used to listen to Queensryche: Operation Mindcrime WAY back in high school. Nice work!

Great video. Clips of that song work well, at least with people who like that style of music... :)
