Barrytown
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 01:50 PM by lwcon
If you'll only look around, you'll see what must be changed
But over there in Barrytown, they see things kinda strange
Please know you're not my enemy
Just wish he'd speak reality
And though you'd like some company
I'm standing by myself
(If he's the nominee, I'll help)

Although I'm from the prairie, I don't live in Barrytown

Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard
I just read Correntewire and swear by every word
And don't think I'm for Hillary
Or draining a distillery
But I have had my fill, you see
Of looking 'cross the aisle
At that date-rapist's smile

I hate to be contrary, but I'm not in Barrytown

It's fine that he decided one day that he loved The Word
I just wish he'd stop ragging on the unherd

He's brimming with charisma, he don't wear no shoulder chip
Says he'll be the captain of the Bipartisan ship
Forgive me if I make a shout
And harsh the mellow with some doubt
You say I should just be devout
"It's how the game is played
Just drink that cool, Kool-Aid"

I hauled in with John Kerry, is my next stop Barrytown?


With apologies to Steely Dan.

2. Didn't have time to do the band thing this time
Here are some where we did: http://www.myspace.com/vastleftdotcom

Thanks for the "Huck!" link. Is it John Lennon's penance for calling the Beatles "bigger than Jesus"?

4. If Obama wants to get on the Danwagon, a good choice...
CHANGE OF THE GUARD

If you listen you can hear it
It's the laughter in the street
It's the motion in the music
And the fire beneath your feet
All the signs are right this time
You don't have to try so very hard
If you live in this world
You're feelin' the change of the guard

All the cowboys and your neighbors
Can you swallow up your pride
Take your guns off if you're willin'
And you know we're on your side
If you wanna get thru the years
It's high time you played your card
If you live in this world
You're feelin' the change of the guard
