Say you just cant live that negative way,
If you know what I mean;
Make way for the positive day,

New time (new time), and if its a new feelin (new feelin), yeah! -

3. Do You Have Ant P.U. Songs

As in stinko for that supposedly new Pew poll, which unlike every other poll, says it's tightening?

*shadow government*

[H2O Man]

4. Our friend Malcolm X

once pointed out how the media tries to manipulate people's thinking by quoting polls that are geared to misrepresent the truth. There was one I recall him mentioning, where some magazine -- it seems like it was Life -- had a poll that said that 69% of black people were satisfied with the rate of progress with civil rights. Malcolm noted that there were not 69 black Americans satisfied with the rate of change.

[Me.]

6. I Don't Believe There Is 69%

Now, as in today

*shadow government*

[Annces]

24. Our Friend Malcolm X

Our Friend, Our Friend








I apologize for any insensitive things I may have mentioned about Malcolm X in previous posts.

[H2O Man]

27. All that matters

is now.

[Patsy Stone]

5. Get Up, Stand Up!

GET UP, STAND UP

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Preacherman, don't tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold;
'Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. Come on!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. Jah!

Get up, stand up! (Jah, Jah!)
Stand up for your rights! (Oh-hoo!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Don't give up the fight! (Life is your right!)
Get up, stand up! (So we can't give up the fight!)
Stand up for your rights! (Lord, Lord!)
Get up, stand up! (Keep on struggling on!)
Don't give up the fight! (Yeah!)

We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, Lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

So you better:
Get up, stand up! (In the morning! Git it up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Stand up for our rights!)
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (Don't give it up, don't give it up!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! ( ... )
Don't give up the fight! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! ( ... )
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight!

[H2O Man]

8. Ah!

One of the very best! Just as some of the best songs of the Beatles were the true Lennon and McCartney contributions, this classic has lyrics primarily by Peter Tosh, with music by Bob Marley. I have versions by them together, and later as individuals. Tosh's acoustic version is outstanding.

[Patsy Stone]

13. I've wanted to get Honarary Citizen for a while

I think you may have just inspired me.

Thanks for the thread, H2O Man.

We don't need) No, we don't need (no more trouble) no more trouble!
(We don't need no more trouble)

Wo! Oh-oh-oh!
(We don't need) We don't need no (no more) trouble!
We don't need no trouble!

(We don't need no more trouble)
Make love and not war! 'Cause we don't need no trouble.
What we need is love (love)
To guide and protect us on. (on)
If you hope good down from above, (love)
Help the weak if you are strong now. (love)

We don't need no trouble;
What we need is love. Oh, no!
We don't need - we don't need - no more trouble!

(We don't need) Oh, we don't need no more trouble!
We don't need, no - we don't need no trouble!
We don't (need) - no, brothers and sisters ... (no more trouble!)

We don't need no trouble; we don't need no trouble!
We don't need no trouble!
What we need is love!

We don't need - we don't need no more - we don't need -
no more trouble - we don't need no more trouble!
Trouble we don't need (we don't need),
(We don't need) Lord, knows! -
we don't need no more war (no more trouble).
No more trouble - we don't need no more - more trouble! /fadeout/

To cut you down
Sharpened ...





now, if they steal another one, I & I might be singing a different cut off the same album:

This morning I woke up in a curfew;
O God, I was a prisoner, too - yeah!
Could not recognize the faces standing over me;
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality. Eh!

How many rivers do we have to cross,
Before we can talk to the boss? Eh!
All that we got, it seems we have lost;
We must have really paid the cost.

(That's why we gonna be)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight;
(Say we gonna burn and loot)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight;
(One more thing)
Burnin' all pollution tonight;
(Oh, yeah, yeah)
Burnin' all illusion tonight.

Oh, stop them!

Give me the food and let me grow;
Let the Roots Man take a blow.
All them drugs gonna make you slow now;
It's not the music of the ghetto. Eh!

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight;
(Who can stop the tears?)
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight;
(We've been suffering these long, long-a years!)
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
(Will you say cheer?)
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
(But where?)

Give me the food and let me grow;
Let the Roots Man take a blow.
I must say: all them - all them drugs gonna make you slow;
It's not the music of the ghetto.

We gonna be burning and a-looting tonight;
(To survive, yeah!)
Burning and a-looting tonight;
(Save your baby lives)
Burning all pollution tonight;
(Pollution, yeah, yeah!)
Burning all illusion tonight
(Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord!)

Burning and a-looting tonight;
Burning and a-looting tonight;
Burning all pollution tonight. /fadeout/

16. Sending good vibes your way....

Across the world we all stand with you, the American People. You guys are the only one having the power to kick those bullies out.

Peace

[Sparkle]

17. Sorry.

I don't feel so confident. I think the Republicans will keep control of the house and senate. I'm preparing myself for it.

[Gregorian]

18. Mission Accomplices.

This thread is bringing me back to 1974. Those glorious first times we listened to Marley. And smoked. And were excited.

[Sparkle]

21. Nice photoshop.

It's just that I don't like seeing all this celebration before it's over.

[Gregorian]

25. I fully agree.

I'm a pessimist. And I'm not celebrating anything. Even if we win the house and senate, all we're getting is a monster of a cleanup job. If that. The cause is still unaddressed. Make that causes.

However, I am celebrating the fact that we will win. It just may be twenty years from now. I AM tenacious.

[H2O Man]

26. We're doing foundation work.

When I was a young man, I paid for some of my education by working on foundations in the summer months. It's hard work. People driving by don't even see you as they drive by. No one says, "Hey, that looks nice." It doesn't look nice, unless you like being in a hole, laying either block or stone. But if you take your time, and do your best, you build a strong foundation. And on that foundation, a nice house will be built in the future. Without that "mud" work, it doesn't matter how nice a home someone has in mind -- it will collapse.

It can be difficult, at times, to recognize that because of the tremendous amount of damage that has been done, by the administration, industry, etc, that we will not live long enough to see the finished project. Yet we can labor on, confident that others will build upon the foundation that we are helping to build today.

[gully]

19. Nope, we're taking the house - they'll keep the Senate, by a small

margin.

[H2O Man]

23. Redemption Song ....

(Bob Marley)

Old pirates, yes, they rob i;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took i
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the and of the almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say its just a part of it:
Weve got to fulfil de book.

Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
---
/guitar break/
---
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! have no fear for atomic energy,
cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say its just a part of it:
Weve got to fulfil de book.
Wont you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

[wildeyed]

20. Won't you help me singggggggg

these songs of freedom........

Gawd I am nervous. I promised promised promised myself I wouldn't get so wound up about an election again, and but here I am. You are right, music would help :)

[TacticalPeek]

22. Come we go chant down Babylon one more time

Come we go burn down Babylon
One more time, Come we go chant down
Babylon one more time
For them soft, yes them soft
Them soft, yes them soft
So come we go chant down Babylon one more time

Men see their dreams and aspirations
Crumble in front of their face
And all their wicked intentions to destroy the
Human race.

And how I know, and that's how I know
A Reggae Music, mek we chant down Babylon
With music, mek we chant down Babylon
This music, mek we chant down Babylon
This music, come we chant down Babylon
