I was listening to some laid back music on my mp3 collection, and For What it's Worth by Buffalo Springfield came on. I like the sound of the song, so on a whim, I checked YouTube for a video. I found this: Interested, I pulled up the lyrics for the song. These guys were Rage Against the Machine in the 1960's. We could take something from the message here: There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down What a field-day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away We better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Unfortunately, what is happening here IS exactly clear - the battle lines WERE drawn - It DID start when we were afraid - And if we step out of line, the man WILL come and take us away. Everybody look what's goin' down. |
