What's Your Inauguration Day Song?

[K8-EEE]

Anybody got some Doomsday songs picked out? in 2000 I did have a Bush Bashing Bash with End of the World As We Know It and other true predictions....here's for Jan 20 2005

Man...I had a whole inauguration party all set up with HAPPEEEE tunes and all, but it's turning out to be a whole different kind of party. ANYHOW...DUERS OF A CERTAIN AGE, DO WE HAVE ANY HOLLIES FANS?

Here's my Inaguration Theme: KING MIDAS IN REVERSE! Everone over 40, sing along...

If you could only see me,
I know exactly where I am.
You wouldn't want to be me,
I can assure you of that.
I'm not the guy to run with,
Cause I'll throw you off the line.
I'll break you and destroy you,
Given time.

He's King Midas with a curse. He's King Midas in reverse.
He's King Midas with a curse. He's King Midas in reverse.

It's plain to see it's hopeless.
Going on the way we are.
So, even though I lose you,
You'd be better off by far.

He's not the man to hold your trust.
Everything he touches turns to dust
In his hands.
Nothing he can do is right.
He'd even like to sleep at night,
But he can't

I wish someone would find me
And help me gain control
Before I lose my reason
And my soul.

He's King Midas with a curse.
He's King Midas in reverse.
He's King Midas with a curse.
He's King Midas in reverse.

9. What I'll be singing: I Will Not Go Quietly

I Will Not Go Quietly-Don Henley

Woke up with a heavy head
And I thought about leavin' town
I could have died if I wanted to-
Slipped over the edge and drowned
But, oh no baby, I won't give up so easy
Too many tire tracks in the sands of time
Too many love affairs that stop on a dime
I think it's time to make some changes 'round here
Yeah, I'm gonna tear it up
gonna trash it up
I'm gonna round it up
gonna shake it up
Oh, no, baby, I will not lie down
I'm brave enough to be crazy
I'm strong enough to be weak
I see all these heroes with feet of clay
Whose mighty ships have sprung a leak
And I want you to tell me darlin'
Just what do you believe in now?
Well, c'mon over here baby
You 'bout to gimme a heart attack
I wanna wrap my lovin' arms
Around the small of your back
Yeah, and I'm gonna pull you, pull you, pull you
Pull you right up close to me
Yeah we're gonna tear it up
we gonna trash it up
gonna round it up
gonna shake it up
Oh, no no no, I will not lie down
Turn this thing around
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not lie down
Well, don't you ever get lonely?
Don't you ever get down?
Don't you ever get tired
Of all the wicked tongues in this town?
Of, baby, I just wanna take you away from here
I ain't no tiger
I ain't no little lamb
Suppose you tell me mama
Who do you think I think I am?
And ooh baby, don't you give a damn?
Yeah, I'm gonna tear it up
gonna trash it up
gonna round it up
gonna rip it up
I will not lie down
Yeah I'm gonna tear it up
gonna trash it up
gonna round it up
gonna shake it up
Oh baby I will not lie down
Turn this thing around
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will no go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not lie down

3. Lost Cause.

"Im tired of fighting

[bri_in_austin]

4. misshapes, mistakes, misfits

By Pulp. I chose this song because it's a good protest song, and that's what I'll be doing on January 20th in DC...

(I cut and pasted the lyrics)

"Mis-Shapes"

Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits.
Raised on a diet of broken biscuits, oh we don't look the same as you
We don't do the things you do, but we live around here too.
Oh really.
Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits, we'd like to go to town but we can't risk it
Oh 'cause they just want to keep us out.
You could end up with a smash in the mouth just for standing out.
Oh really. Brothers, sisters, can't you see?
The future's owned by you and me.
There won't be fighting in the street.
They think they've got us beat, but revenge is going to be so sweet.
We're making a move, we're making it now, we're coming out of the side-lines.
Just put your hands up - it's a raid yeah:
We want your homes, we want your lives,
we want the things you won't allow us.
We won't use guns, we won't use bombs
We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that's our minds.
Check your lucky numbers, that much money could drag you under, oh.
What's the point of being rich if you can't think what to do with it?
'Cause you're so very thick.
Oh we weren't supposed to be, we learnt too much at school now
we can't help but see.
That the future that you've got mapped out is nothing much to shout about.
We're making a move, we're making it now,
We're coming out of the side-lines.
Just put your hands up - it's a raid.
We want your homes, we want your lives,
we want the things you won't allow us.
We won't use guns, we won't use bombs
We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that's our minds.
Brothers, sisters, can't you see?
The future's owned by you and me.
There won't be fighting in the street.
They think they've got us beat but revenge is going to be so sweet.
We're making a move. We're making it now.
We're coming out of the sidelines.
Just put your hands up - it's a raid.
We want your homes, we want your lives,
we want the things you won't allow us.
We won't use guns, we won't use bombs
We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that'sour minds.
And that's our minds. Yeah.

11. Darkest Hour - "the Sadist Nation"

one nation
under the gun
where forward thinking is shunned
a morbid tradition
archaic value system
where violence justified
is just another pride
one nation under the gun.

12. I decided to tweak the lyrics of a Phil Ochs song

Ten Cents a Coup
(Lyrics re-written by me)


It was a used car dealers' election
And the choice was rather small
The media agreed, it's the war we need,
So there's no president at all

Here's to Dubya and Cheney
They are the stars of the stage and screen
Not since Laurel and Hardy
Have I laughed so hard I screamed

I thought that Reagan was the devil
I thought we couldn't do no worse
Now the White House stands in Falwell’s hands
This country must be under a curse

Here's to Dubya and Cheney
They are the stars of the stage and screen
Not since Laurel and Hardy
Have I laughed so hard I screamed

I dreamed that Dubya choked on pretzel
There was only Cheney left
But when he lied, his pacemaker fried.
He assasinated himself.

Here's to Dubya and Cheney
They are the stars of the stage and screen
Not since Laurel and Hardy
Have I laughed so hard I screamed

If anyone is interested, here is the link to the original lyrics

16. Sympathy for the Devil by the Stones

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
(woo woo, woo woo)

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
(who who, who who)

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
(woo woo, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(who who, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(woo woo, who who)

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
(who who, who who)

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
(woo woo)
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
(woo woo, woo woo)

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
(woo woo)

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame...

Sorry to say, I think this song is pretty apt for the US right now.

20. "Nowhere Man" by The Beatles

He’s a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.

Doesn’t kave a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen,
You don’t know what you’re missing,
Nowhere man, the world is at your command.

He’s as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere man can you see me at all?
Doesn’t kave a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, don’t worry,
Take your time, don’t hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
Lend you a hand.

He’s a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.

25. I’m bidin’ my time;

But I’m bidin’ my time;
’cause that’s the kinda guy i’m
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin’ my time.

Next year, next year,
Somethin’s bound to happen;
This year, this year,
I’ll just keep on nappin’

And bidin’ my time
’cause that’s the kinda guy i’m.
There’s no regrettin’
When I’m settin’
Bidin’ my time.

26. Talkin' Bout a Revolution

Tracy Chapman


Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't you know
You better run, run, run...
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution

27. Leper Messiah by Metallica

Spineless from the start, sucked into the part
circus comes to town, you play the lead clown
Please, please
spreading his disease, living by his story
Knees, knees
falling to your knees, suffer for his glory
You will

Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat

Bow to Leper Messiah

Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix
blind devotion came, rotting your brain
Chain, chain
Join the endless chain
Fame, Fame
Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power
We see

Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat

Bow to Leper Messiah

Witchery, weakening
Sees the sheep are gathering
set the trap, hypnotize
now you follow

Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat

Lie.
