@ OW38B..... Here’s a glimpse into my political opinion....

End of Days:

 As the future unfolds in the end of days
Judgment of our times in biblical ways
Our man made gods, genocide is faith
“Idea warfare has been engaged”  
Cannot trust your fellow man at all these days
Sycophants out looking to get paid
Images burned into my face
Pangs of Distress salt my flesh to flay

I constantly fear everything I see
Blood is the fist of authority
Pestilence is my rabid dog unchained
Another road sign marks the end of days
I disregard those who govern me
I hate all of this treachery
I numb my mind and try to walk away
Toward the trail of tears and to the end of days

Face down on pavement and drunk at the end of my days
I hang from a noose that was made to slowly decay
The pangs of distress salt my flesh to slowly flay
Face down on pavement and drunk at the end of my days
The end of days

 

 Use a little critical thinking of the bold print line, “idea warfare has been engaged”...... The goal is division. You’ve fallen for it. Hook line and, sinker. Me, I’m gonna watch the world burn as all the infighting destroys us.

But, did you listen through to Eisenhower’s farewell speech? Probably not...

The clash is the biggest political band ever. The only band that matters was a tag of there’s. They blow the rest of these bands off the stage easily.

Miss Pavilichenko's well known to fame;
Russia's your country,fighting is your game;
The whole world will love her for a long time to come,
For more than three hundred Nazis fell by your gun.

Miss Pavilichenko's well known to fame:
Russia's your country, fighting is your game;
Your smile shines as bright
As my new morning sun.
But more than three hundred nazisdogs fell by your gun.

In you mountains and canyons
Quiet as the deer.
Down in your bigtrees knowing no fear.
You lift up your sight,
And down comes a hun;
And more than three hundred nazidogs
Fell by your gun.

In your hot summer's heat,
In your cold wintery snow,
In all kinds of weather you track down your foe,
This world will love your sweet face
The same way I've done,
'Cause more than three hundred nazzy hound
Fell by your gun.

I'd hate to drop in a parachute
And land and enemy in your land;
If your Soviet people make it so hard on invadin' men:
Of such a pretty lady's gun
If her name was Pavilichenko, and mine Three O One.

Fell by your gun, yes, Fell by your gun,
For more than three hundred Nazis fell by your gun.

"Territories"
 

I see the Middle Kingdom between Heaven and Earth
Like the Chinese call the country of their birth
We all figure that our homes, our homes are set above
Other people than the ones, the ones we know and love
In every place with a name
They play the same territorial game
Hiding behind the lines
Sending up warning signs

The whole wide world
An endless universe
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines
Can't really feel
What international means
In different circles, we keep holding our ground
Indifferent circles, we keep spinning 'round and 'round and 'round

We see so many tribes overrun and undermined
While their invaders dream of lands they've left behind
Better people, better food, and better beer
Why move around the world when Eden was so near?
The bosses get talking so tough
And if that wasn't evil enough
We get the drunken and passionate pride
Of the citizens along for the ride

The whole wide world
An endless universe
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines
Can't really feel
What international means
In different circles, we keep holding our ground
Indifferent circles, we keep spinning 'round and 'round and...

They shoot without shame
In the name of a piece of dirt
For a change of accent
Or the color of your shirt
Better the pride that resides
In a citizen of the world
Than the pride that divides
When a colorful rag is unfurled

The whole wide world
An endless universe
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines
Can't really feel
What international means
In different circles, we keep holding our ground
Indifferent circles, we keep spinning 'round and 'round and 'round

About the trouble in Ireland in the late 60's, and early 70's.

 

 

Highly recommend this movie if you want some insight to the strife of Northen Ireland in 1969. Caitriona Balfe is a beautiful, sexy woman.

Sorry did not mean to steal your song/post.

Highly recommend the movie Belfast if you have not seen it. Also was about the Orange vs. the Green.  (Protestant, vs. Catholics) in that timeframe.

Conway Twitty - You've Never Been This Far Before

I can almost hear the stillness
As it yields to the sound of your heart beating
I can almost hear the echo
Of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking

And I can feel your body tremble
As you wonder what this moment holds in store
And as I put my arms around you
I can tell you've never been this far before

I don't know what I'm saying
As my trembling fingers touch forbidden places
I only know that I've waited
For so long for the chance that we are taking

Well I don't know and I don't care
What made you tell him you don't love him anymore
And as I taste your tender kisses
I can tell you've never been this far before

And as I take the love you're giveing
I can feel the tension building in your mind
And you're wondering if tomorrow
I'll still love you like I'm loving you tonight

You have no way of knowing
Tonight will only make me love you more
And I hope that you'll believe me
'Cause I know you've never been this far before

Can you help me with this one? (Songs of great social and political import..)

Not up to speed on K&W.

One has to stop…

One has to ask…

Do you think the good, legitimate and last actual REAL “5 Star” was fuckin’ with us? 

Or, just maybe, was he the last one from the other-side of JFK…maybe the last…to be real with us?

Just another POS American asking for the rest of us…the rest of you…

God, you must be kidding me, thought this was supposed to be
The home of the brave and the free for you and me
But now there's something wrong - shit's been going on too long
It's never gonna change, there's no way i say
What's the CIA and the NRA?
They're all the same - just the names are changed
Fuck - there's no excuse - any way you lose
It's all a joke in the good old USA

All we need is more factories pumping filth into the sky (into the sky)
Corporate greed and perverted priests, it's the story of our lives (of our lives)
And apathy's the national disease and there is no end in sight (no end in sight)
God save the USA - blame the president and say your prayers tonight
