Musical Worldview: the Clash, "Know Your Rights"

“This is a public service announcement
With guitar
Know your rights
All three of them

Number one
You have the right not to be killed
Murder Is a crime!
Unless it was done
By a policeman or an aristocrat
Know your rights

And number two
You have the right to food money
Providing of course
You don't mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation

Know your rights
These are your rights
Hey, say what, hey

Know these rights

Number three
You have the right to free speech
As long as you're not
Dumb enough to actually try it

Know your rights
These are your rights
Know your rights
These are your rights
All three of 'em

And it has been suggested
In some quarters that this is not enough
Well

Get off the streets
Get off the streets
Run”

Musical Worldview: Trey Anastasio, "Rise/Come Together"

A1SDDZjabpL._SS500_.jpg

“The ocean is only a lot of drops of water
And the land is only a lot of grains of sand
And the people of the world all love the way
We going to break down the walls one day
And come together, come together, come together

From high above we're all the same down here
Without a map, the lines all disappear
We're so tired of our senseless fight
The one thing we can all do right
Is come together, come together, come together, come together
Come together

We're all looking for a little more love
To shine a light and lift us up
When you hold me heartbeat to heartbeat
I'm a part of you and you're a part of me

And we rise up
And come together, come together, come together
We got to rise up
And come together, come together, come together

We're all looking for a little more love
To shine a light and lift us up
When you hold me heartbeat to heartbeat
I'm a part of you and you're a part of me

And we rise up
And come together, come together, come together
We got to rise up
And come together, come together, come together”

Musical Worldview: Ozzy Osbourne, "Crazy Train"

Ozzy-Osbourne.jpeg

“All aboard Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Let's go

I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it, and you live the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah

Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles, I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame?
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
The ledge, ha-ha, the edge”

Musical Worldview: Phish, "A Life Beyond the Dream"

“Don't give up hope

We share these moments
Till they melt away
To foggy memories
Of a distant day
A curtain is blowing
In an open door
Two souls can breath as one
I wanted more

Now I'm letting it all roll by
I can see, I can see
A life beyond the dream
I'm watching it all roll by
I can see, I can see
A life beyond the dream

Don't give up hope”

Musical Worldview: Phish, "Everything's Right"

“I'm going downhill with increasing speed
And compassion gives way, if you listen to greed
Focus on the past and that's what will last
Nothing that is real and nothing you can feel
Focus on tomorrow you'll have to borrow
Images and mind and thoughts you've left behind
Focus on today and you'll find a way
Happiness is how
Rooted in the now”

Musical Worldview: the Housemartins, "Get Up Off Our Knees"

download.jpeg

“Famines will be famines, banquets will be banquets
Some spend winter in a palace, some spend it in blankets
Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today

Time to end the praying
Listen what they're saying

Get up off your knees
You can wag your finger till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more

Paupers will be paupers, bankers will be bankers
Some own pennies in a jar, some own oil tankers
What may sound like tomorrow could be ours today
There's no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray

Time to end the praying
Listen what they're saying
Get up off your knees
You can wag your finger till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more

Countries will be countries, borders will be borders
Some have lost their folks at war, some have give orders
Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today

Time to end the praying
Listen what they're saying”

Musical Worldview: the Housemartins, "Anxious"

1986-10-05-Anxious-Folder.jpeg

“I really thought I'd have my tongue ties if I stood up to shout
But all they did was listen without their ears
And I thought I'd be beheaded if I stuck my neck out
But they just gave me a hanky for my tears

I have confidence in confidence, I hope that hope pulls me through
But I think a little more is needed now
We've got to form a congregation and sink down the nation
Batter all the sinners to the ground”
