This song just came up on my random playlist, and I think it's very pertinent to our current situation.
Rush "Witch Hunt"
The night is black Without a moon The air is thick and still The vigilantes gather on The lonely torch lit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light The faces are twisted and grotesque Silent and stern in the sweltering night The mob moves like demons possessed Quiet in conscience, calm in their right Confident their ways are best
The righteous rise With burning eyes Of hatred and ill-will Madmen fed on fear and lies To beat and burn and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us In our immigrants and infidels They say there is strangeness too dangerous In our theaters and bookstore shelves That those who know what's best for us Must rise and save us from ourselves
Quick to judge Quick to anger Slow to understand Ignorance and prejudice And fear walk hand in hand...
It's one of my favorite songs from Rush; I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier.

1. Yep.. great song.. here's another song I just re-listened to... |
|
the more things change, the more they stay the same... Savatage "Of Rage and War".... written during the first Bush administration.
You got Lybia you got the Russians You got civilian planes crashing to the oceans Airports full of terrorists Nagi skins anarchists When are they gonna learn
Better listen to me you son of a bitch Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch You have no goddamn right to do the things you do The world would be a better place if we were rid of you Of rage and war (4 times)
Every country¹s got the bomb The scientists are working on Chemical weapons to melt the flesh With no source of defense Shoot me I¹ll shoot you Like there¹s nothing better to do Who¹s the loser in the end
Better listen to me you son of a bitch Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch You have no goddamn right to do the things you do The world would be a better place if we were rid of you Of rage and war (4 times)
War broods in foreign lands Missiles launch upon command Islam Lebanon what the hell is going on Ambassadors who say they try Negotiating suicide Are they prepared to face the end Of rage and war
