Musical Worldview: Blue Scholars, "Blink"

“They said talk is cheap, but war is expensive
I speak cuz it's free and these words are my weapons
Don't think for a second, I will not question
US foreign policy, imperial aggression
Inventing war for the quenching of the thirst for the oil
Cause money don't trickle down to workers who toil
You see, blood trickle down from the wounds to the soil
And broken antennas with aluminum foil be
Standing on televisions, transmitting propaganda of millionaire senators
And your so-called commander in chief, B
I'm telling you the man is a thief
In his hand he holds a plan to ban your freedom of speech
To build a pipeline, put Afghanistan on a leash
When it bites back blame the Taliban for the breach
Of security in each and every first world country
Where life more distant if you're thirsty or hungry

Musical Worldview: Seryn, 'Mausoleum'

“Finally made it across
Without a clue where I am
With all of the holes in my pockets
Maybe I still have a chance

When the sun sets a little bit sooner
My appetite grows pretty thin
And you seem a little bit further
From the last place I've been

Oh
I don't have forever
You know I need that loan
All these years,
Wasted on the run

Oh we know you've got the soul my brother
Why you trying to hide?
And the heart is a beast that'll keep you bleeding,
Learn to let it lie
In the walls of the mausoleum
In the walls of the mausoleum
And we're all just trying to reach the other side

And the kids seem to grow so much faster
The older and older I get
But time is a clever invention
We are helplessly participant”

The rich and poor they start to cry
And now the weak must get strong, they say
Oh, what a tribulation, saying

A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough
A pot a-cook but the food no 'nough”

Musical Worldview: Bob Marley and the Wailers, "Burnin' and Lootin'"

“This morning I woke up in a curfew
O God, I was a prisoner, too - yeah!
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality. Eh!

How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss? Eh!
All that we got, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost

Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
(Say we gonna burn and loot)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
(One more thing)
Burnin' all pollution tonight
(Oh, yeah, yeah)
Burnin' all illusion tonight

Oh, stop them!

Give me the food and let me grow
Let the Roots Man take a blow
All them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music of the ghetto. Eh!

Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
(Ooh, can't stop the tears!)
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
(We've been suffering these long, long-a years)
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
(Will you say cheer?)
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
(But where?)

Give me the food and let me grow
Let the roots man take a blow
All them drugs gonna make you slow
It's not the music of the ghetto
We gonna be burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
(To survive, yeah!)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
(Save your babies' lives)
Burning all pollution tonight
(Pollution ...)
Burning all illusion tonight
(Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord!)

Burning and a-looting tonight
Burning and a-looting tonight
Burning all pollution tonight”
