A Chicago radio station just dedicated this song to the voters tomorrow
Genesis - Land Of Confusion

I mustve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
Theyre moving into the street.

Now did you read the news today
They say the dangers gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
There burning into the night.

Theres too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

Ooh superman where are you now
When everythings gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But theres not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago -

I wont be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
Were not just making promises
That we know, well never keep.

Too many men
Theres too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.

This is the world we live in
And these are the names were given
Stand up and lets start showing
Just where our lives are going to.

1. What station?
I'd guess XRT, but Invisible Touch-era Genesis is not something I'd expect from them.

3. Was it the original, or that crap remake?
Remember, kids, the "Invisible Touch" album is still miles better than most other stuff that was out at the time.

4. kleptones mash up ..

If you get a chance, The Kleptones did a mash up of this song with Edwin Star's 'War: what is it good for?'. It's simply brilliant.

http://www.kleptones.com/music/24h/The%20Kleptones%20-%2024%20Hours%20-%201-15%20-%201800%20War%20Of%20Confusion.mp3

The whole '24 Hours' album is available as a download on the http://www.kleptones.com/ site.

I've been a big fan of The Kleptones for a long time.
