Leonard Cohen - Democracy

Springsteen - The Rising

Simon & Garfunkel - America

Tom Petty - American Girl

Neil Diamond - America

John Cougar Mellancamp - Pink Houses

Woody Guthrie - This Land is Your Land

Don McLean - American Pie

Sweet Homey in the Rock - I Remember I Believe

I’m personally going to add “Hot Gates” by Mumford & Sons to remind myself that no matter what happens today, “there is no way out of your only life” and it is noble to run on, run on...and “Only Love” because only love will win in the end.

16. marching on versailles

gonna post this one again as it is my brain's theme song for this election. Its blasting on loop in my head at 150 million decibels

This was your final chance
A chance you didn’t take
Like the lightning we will fall on your golden world
This was your final dance
Your final reverence
Now on the horizon you can see our torches burning
No turning back, our army will attack
Your dynasty ends tonight
We are the army of silent cries
Marching on your denial
We are the justice for those who died
For the glory of Versailles

[UTUSN]
