515J2H05R5L.jpg

“Give me freedom, give me liberty
Don't want policeman with a stick in his hand
Standing over me

Freedom, fraternity
I don't pick my friends by the color of their skin
Or the language they speak

Give me freedom, equality
Don't tell me that we're brothers
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”

Musical Worldview: Damian Marley, "Speak Life"

“Speak life
Live a humble and meek life
Ordinary day of the week life
Try to search and seek life

Way up
Keep your head up and stay up
Even when you sore and pain love
Never giving up till its game up
Keep your aim up

And focus
Don't concentrate on what's bogus
Never sell out for a bonus
Handle your biz like grown ups
Own up”

“Hush now child, and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you, by and by
Move on up, toward your destination
You may find from time to time
Complication

Bight your lip, and take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
And you cannot slip
So move on up for peace will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind”
