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”

Musical Worldview: Jeff Tobias, "Thank You For Your Service"

Musical Worldview: Jeff Tobias, "Our Very Recent Past"
“By the time they figured out who the real fascists were it was too late
All the ink had long since dried and all the trains had long since left the station
Who is above loving a face they don't yet recognize
Weep to think what could have been, but I guess that could be said about anytime
Still it seems decisive things could've moved the needle; maybe not
If only something from our very recent past could act as a warning - give us some vision - but our vision's left wanting
But never again doesn't mean anything if it never stopped happening
Who is above loving a face they don't yet recognize
Give up some small sense of yourself and help smash the hateful tide”
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"
“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: Thrice, "The Earth Will Shake"
“We dream of ways to break these iron bars
We dream of black nights without moon or stars
We dream of tunnels and of sleeping guards
We dream of blackouts in the prison yard
Heartbroken we found
A gleam of hope
Harken to the sound
A whistle blows
Heaven sent reply
However small
Evidence of life
Beyond these walls
Born and bred
In this machine
Wardens dread
To see us dream
We hold tight
To legends of
Real life
The way it was before
We dream of jailers throwing down their arms
We dream of open gates and no alarms
We dream of ways to break these iron bars
We dream of black nights without moon or stars
We dream of ways to break these iron bars
We dream of black nights without moon or stars
We dream of ways to break these iron bars
We dream of black nights without moon or stars
Heartbroken we found
A gleam of hope
Harken to the sound
A whistle blows
Heaven sent reply
However small
Evidence of life
Beyond these walls
Born and bred
In this machine
Wardens dread
To see us dream
We hold tight
To legends of
Real life
The way it was before
Look to the day
The earth will shake
These weathered walls
Will fall away
Look to the day
The earth will shake
These weathered walls
Will fall away
Look to the day
The earth will shake
These weathered walls
Will fall away
Look to the day
The earth will shake
These weathered walls
Will fall away.”
