lokithelion Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 it lost when it didn't have any rise against.... Eh, there's nothing too good in the way of protests no one is willing to really put their all in to them. it was a joke. and I really love Kevin Devine. the lyrics to "Burning City Smoke" in particular have always kind of stuck with me. Forty million refugees with no place on this earth to call their home One for every aimless graduate with nothing else to show for it but loans And those of us who make a mark use some Iraqi's blood Our Western stain won't wash away, it won't vanish in the flood It sets deeper with each hurricane and tidal wave and war We want everything we see, and once it's gone we just want more Atlas had those shoulders We've got Ambien, we've got Jameson's, we sniff coke to bind us in a bubble, keep the newsprint nightmare distant and remote But when we wake in guillotines and pitch out screaming fits When the governer strikes up the band and gags our parted lips When the worst case shows up dressed and dazzling, ready for the ball Boy that bubble's bound to burst and what a tragic way to fall The tabloids tell us hate the rat who strikes those subways closed and puts you out Forget those fifty hour tunnel weeks Inhaling steel dust poison through his mouth Well if he don't deserve a pension that makes his family feel secure If we're now so disconnected, it's our reflections we ignore And if our constant choice is skimming past the writing on the wall Then I'm sad to say we're lost and I'm embarrassed for us all So most days I can't put to rest the burning city smoking in my mind And I play pretend the principles are nothing more than actors running lines And I stumble through a movie set where torture victims laugh And embedded journalists who juggle knives and daggered glass while they entertain a mob of heads, the state and CEOs I stagger past anarchist extras through saloon doors painted gold So I turn and I see Uncle Sam inside a wardrobe ready for the shoot So I walk right up and talk to him, I tell him that I'm scared and I'm confused While they test those cameras out and get the lighting right, catering fills coffee cups and carves up apple pie And while the stylists trim his beard and straighten those lapels I ask his empire eyes what made him drive us straight to hell And as my daydream ends he stands ashamed, a shocked and shattered shell But there's never any answers for my starving tongue to tell 'Cause the director's shouting action, I'm thrown off set, it's just as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flicker Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The lack of Sage Francis' Makeshift Patriot in the top 10 is pretty lame. what a great song. agreed, but i still think 'slow down ghandi' is a better song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabepunktony Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 what a great song. agreed, but i still think 'slow down ghandi' is a better song. Slow Down Ghandi is so awesome. I saw Sage perform it spoken word style a couple years back and the power that man has over words is dumbfounding. I stood there in utter awe - fucking amazing.

steventangent Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm playing at this peace and justice festival rally thing for hippies. I fucking loathe hippies. I thought about asking if people were concerned about their civil rights, letting people cheer, and then offering $5 if anybody could actually give me the gist of three randomly chosen from the Bill of Rights. I'm also probably gonna cover "For Broken Ears". But I sing like Justin Timberlake so god knows if it will actually be any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
