40-year old thoughts on Iraq, the neocons, the far-right, & freepers.
(not to mean from a 40-yr-old, though I am a little older than that, but these were written 40 years ago, in a song by Buffalo Springfield, 1966, "For what it's worth").
The more things change, the more they remain the same. :(



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


(Arrested for protesting the run-up to the war in Iraq, October, 2002)


We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Thanks, Tab.
