Musical Worldview: Lou Barlow, "All You People Suck"
“All you people suck
You're the ones that don't believe
That we're all connected
Let the final point repeat”
Musical Worldview: Church Of The Cosmic Skull, "Everybody's Going to Die"
“Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Slipping away into the night
But we're feeling alright
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Everybody loses the fight
But we're feeling alright
Some of us believe that we will live forever
Some of us believe that we return
Some of us will go when we are all together
Some of us will go when we're alone
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Slipping away into the night
But we're feeling alright
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Everybody loses the fight
But we're feeling alright
Some of us will live like there is no tomorrow
Some of us will fight until the end
Some of us will struggle through the pain and sorrow
Some of us will choose to make it stop
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Slipping away into the night
But we're feeling alright
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Everybody loses the fight
But we're feeling alright
Some of us are taken long before we should be
Some of us will go before we're born
Some of us will do the things we want to do here
Some of us will not
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Slipping away into the night
But we're feeling alright
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Everybody loses the fight
But we're feeling alright”

Musical Worldview: Iris Dement: "Going Down To Sing In Texas"
“. . . I'm so glad Jesus drove those moneychangers out of the church
He did not mince his words for fear that their feelings might get hurt
He spoke truth to power, He stood up for the poor
The church today wouldn't even let him through the door
I'm so glad Jesus drove those moneychangers out of the church
I know a couple of Muslims and they seem like pretty decent folks to me
I'd take anyone of them over that evangelist I'm watchin' on T.V.
You wanna ban something? I got a plan
Let's ban hate from every corner of our land
Well I know a couple of Muslims and they seem like decent folks to me
What's the deal with all these war criminals who get to walk around free
Like that president who lied about WMD
Hundreds of thousands of people are lying in their graves
Celebrities are calling him the sweet new friend they made
What's the deal with all these war criminals out walkin' around free . . . ”
Musical Worldview: Rikki Ililonga, "My Destiny"
“I know my destiny
so I”m free, my mind is clear
so take this love that I give
because I won’t be around for too long . . .
Darkness is the brother of Light
Awareness comes after a fight
The Truth of life is a mystery
but happiness is a love supreme
Let’s share what life has to give
Let’s love without any regrets . . .”
Musical Worldview: the Beach Boys, "I Know There's An Answer"
“I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zones
Now what can you tell them
And what can you say that won't make them defensive
I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself
They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through their day
And waste all their thoughts at night
Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better
I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself”
Musical Worldview: Church of the Cosmic Skull, "Revolution Comes With An Act of Love"
“Revolution comes with an act of love
Listen closely now to the sound of the turtle dove
Wings are broken but she sings her song
And all we've got to do is sing along”

Questions forge into a spear”

Musical Worldview: Wonderful World, Beautiful People by Jimmy Cliff
“Take a look at the world
And the state that it's in today
I am sure you'll agree
We all could make it a better way
With our love put together
Everybody learn to love each other
Instead of fussing and fighting
Cheating but biting
Scandalizing and hating
Baby, we could have a wonderful world, beautiful people”
Musical Worldview: Caamp, "Wunderbar"
Musical Worldview: Akron/Family, "Don't Be Afraid, You're Already Dead"
“Don't be afraid, it's only love”
Musical Worldview: Love and Rockets, "No New Tale To Tell"
“People like to hear their names
I'm no exception
Please call my name”
Musical Worldview: Jeff Tobias, "Our Very Recent Past"
“By the time they figured out who the real fascists were it was too late
All the ink had long since dried and all the trains had long since left the station
Who is above loving a face they don't yet recognize
Weep to think what could have been, but I guess that could be said about anytime
Still it seems decisive things could've moved the needle; maybe not
If only something from our very recent past could act as a warning - give us some vision - but our vision's left wanting
But never again doesn't mean anything if it never stopped happening
Who is above loving a face they don't yet recognize
Give up some small sense of yourself and help smash the hateful tide”
Musical Worldview: Grateful Dead, "Scarlet Begoinias"
“Once in a while, you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right”

Musical Worldview: Thrice, "The Earth Will Shake"
“We dream of ways to break these iron bars
We dream of black nights without moon or stars
We dream of tunnels and of sleeping guards
We dream of blackouts in the prison yard
Heartbroken we found
A gleam of hope
Harken to the sound
A whistle blows
Heaven sent reply
However small
Evidence of life
Beyond these walls
Born and bred
In this machine
Wardens dread
To see us dream
We hold tight
To legends of
Real life
The way it was before
We dream of jailers throwing down their arms
We dream of open gates and no alarms
We dream of ways to break these iron bars
We dream of black nights without moon or stars
We dream of ways to break these iron bars
We dream of black nights without moon or stars
We dream of ways to break these iron bars
We dream of black nights without moon or stars
Heartbroken we found
A gleam of hope
Harken to the sound
A whistle blows
Heaven sent reply
However small
Evidence of life
Beyond these walls
Born and bred
In this machine
Wardens dread
To see us dream
We hold tight
To legends of
Real life
The way it was before
Look to the day
The earth will shake
These weathered walls
Will fall away
Look to the day
The earth will shake
These weathered walls
Will fall away
Look to the day
The earth will shake
These weathered walls
Will fall away
Look to the day
The earth will shake
These weathered walls
Will fall away.”
Musical Worldview: Beauty Pill, "Dog with Rabbit in Mouth, Unharmed"
“You’ll find that money is noise, this, us, together, is wealth
The body’s just cosines and vectors, love is the real health
We walk in circles, we walk in circles and lie down”
Musical Worldview: Phish, "Everything's Right"
“I'm going downhill with increasing speed
And compassion gives way, if you listen to greed
Focus on the past and that's what will last
Nothing that is real and nothing you can feel
Focus on tomorrow you'll have to borrow
Images and mind and thoughts you've left behind
Focus on today and you'll find a way
Happiness is how
Rooted in the now”

Musical Worldview: the Avett Brothers, "Bang Bang"
“I live in the country because I love peace and quiet
But all of my neighbors have closets full of machine guns
And every Sunday they’re out there pretending to be Rambo
And I’m in here pretending like Sunday is still sacred
Conceal and carry your fear
don't need no weapons here
I've had all I can stand
Of the bloodthirsty leading man”
