seeking, wanting to be made whole

break down oppression and poverty . . . .”

But you're more equal that the others”

Musical Worldview: Bob Marley and the Wailers, "You Can't Blame The Youth"

81SzHw4Qf3L._SY355_.jpg

“You can't blame the youths
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame the youths of today
You can't fool the youths

You're teaching youths to learn in the school
And that the cow jumped over moon
Teaching youths to learn in the school
And that the dish ran away with spoon

So you can't blame the youths of today
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame the youths, not at all
You can't fool the youths

You teach the youths about Christopher Columbus
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about Marco Polo
And you said he was a very great man

You teach the youths about the pirate Hawkins
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about the pirate Morgan
And you said he was a very great man

So, you can't blame the youths, when they don't learn
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame the youths of today
You can't fool the youths

When every Christmas come
You buy the youth a pretty toy gun
When every Christmas comes around
You buy the youth a fancy toy gun

So, you can't blame the youths when they get bad
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame the youths of today
You can't fool the youths”

Musical Worldview: Mike Doughty, "Your Misfortune"

d9f06bb3.jpg

“When your faith in life is gone
Come and speak to me
When you're down and all messed up
Seek my sympathy

And everybody says no, no, no
Well it's your misfortune and none of my own
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Well it's, your misfortune that sweetens my song

I can be the friend you want
I can be your confidant
I can be the
Right reminder at the right time
Throwing out the life line

Stand in the light, stand in the light, stand in the light (x2)

When your face is caked in mud
Come and speak to me
When the chill creeps in your blood
Seek my sympathy

When everybody say no, no, no
Well it's your misfortune and none of my own
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Well it's your mistfortune that sweetens my song

I can be the air you drink
Every single though you think
I can be the right notion in the mean time
Warm you like the sunshine

Stand in the light, stand in the light, stand in the light”
