Political Songs Of Today

My vote goes to John Fogerty doing it best. I especially love the CCR reference in the most recent one "I Can't Take It No More."


I Can't Take It No More
I Can't Take It No More
I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war
I Can't Take It No More

You know you lied about the casualties
You know you lied about the WMD's
You know you lied about the detainees
All over this world

Stop talking about staying the course
You keep a-beating that old dead horse
You know you lied about how we went to war
I Can't Take It No More

I can't take it
I can't take it

I bet you never saw the old school yard
I bet you never saw the national guard
Your daddy wrote a check and there you are
Another fortunate son

I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more
I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war
I can't take it no more

I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more
I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war
I can't take it no more

Here's another fantastic one from his last album "Deja Vu (All Over Again)" prior to the new one ("Revival") that the above song is on.


Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you try to read the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again

Day by day I hear the voices rising
Started with a whisper like it did before
Day by day we count the dead and dying
Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep score

Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Could your eyes believe the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again

One by one I see the old ghosts rising
Stumblin' 'cross Big Muddy
Where the light gets dim
Day after day another Momma's crying
She's lost her precious child
To a war that has no end

Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you stop to read the writing at The Wall
Did that voice inside you say
I've seen this all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again
It's like Deja Vu all over again

I know, but I like John Mayer - though this song is pretty freakin' passive, sad commentary about a generation.

(Okay, I fixed them - sneakly little buggers make the url available, but embed is turned off on some of them)

Neither will play for me but I love the Foo Fighters and that song. Hadn't hear the Mayer one; I'll go look it up now...
