Musical Worldview: Ned's Atomic Dustbin: "Kill Your Television"
“Kill
Your
Television
Sob your sore eyes”
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: 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: Yo La Tengo, "Until It Happens"
“Prepare to die
Prepare yourself while there's still time
It's simple to do
And then it happens to you”
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: Fugazi, "Merchandise"
When we have nothing left to give
There will be no reason for us to live
But when we have nothing left to lose
You will have nothing left to use
We owe you nothing
You have no control
We owe you nothing
You have no control
Merchandise, it keeps us in line
Common sense says it's by design
What could a businessman ever want more
Than to have us sucking in his store
We owe you nothing
You have no control
We owe you nothing
You have no control
You are not what you own
You are not what you own
You are not what you own
You are not what you own
We owe you nothing
You have no control
We owe you nothing (nothing)
You have no control
We owe you nothing (nothing)
You have no control

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”
