Musical Worldview :: the Samples, "Carry On"

“Trusting is one thing I don't know
When it comes to the campaigning men
But I'll meet you at the election
When I vote for the hope of this land

Carry on
Carry on

Just take a good look around you
The ghettos begin at your feet
And there's a family of six through a window
Looking way down at you on the street

Carry on
Carry on

Send us in any direction
Airports, buses and cabs
But somehow through all this confusion
We lose things that we've never had

Carry on
Carry on

A funeral was held in the winter
The old lady pull from her purse
A thoughand tears on a napkin
While waving away at the hearse

Carry on
Carry on

Trusting is one thing I don't know
When it comes to the campaigning men
But I'll meet you at the election
When I vote for the hope of this land

Carry on
Carry on”

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”

Listen closely now to the sound of the turtle dove

Musical Worldview: Jeff Tobias, "Our Very Recent Past"

in , , ,

“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”

“Love can be found all over town it's all around, it's all around.
Love everyway it's in the air it's all around, it's all around.
It's every place it's in your face. it's in your mind it's in your mind.
Open your heart, open your eyes baby let it shine baby let it shine.
Yes love can be found all over town it's all around, it's all around.
Once you find it, baby don't deny it and maybe take pride in it.”
