| I've always been a democrat. I was raised in a democratic house, though it wasn't dinner table talk. It was loud arguments in the late hours of the weekend nights that would abruptly wake me from a deep sleep. Startling me to the point where my heart was pounding as the yelling and screaming got louder and nastier by the moment. I was a child of 8 or 10 years old when i remember dreading the weekend nights for this reason. And it didn't end when i moved out at age 18... My parent's friends were republicans. All of them. How they remained friends after 50 years of weekend arguments is still to my amazement, but there was no sleep to be had in our house when those friends came over on Friday and Saturday nights. These arguments remained right up until both my parent's deaths. I'm not a devout democrat, there's much i still don't understand in the politcal world, but what i do understand is how i feel about certain things and why. Many of my favorite artists write about such things and their lyrics can stand alone, but accompianed by music makes their statements so powerful, it's the best way to describe what it is i would like to say. Instead, i post and continue to post those artist's art that move me. |

| He's an ugly man, he always was an ugly man He grew up to be like his father, an ugly man And he'll tell you lies He'll look at you and tell you lies He grew up to be like his father Ugly inside Hey - ugly man what's the plan? If people knew what would they do to the ugly man? Having fun? But will we be here when you're done with me? Revolution Now it's finally going to come Everywhere that you're not looking Revolution And we'll take it back Now we take the country back Everywhere that you're not looking Ugly man Ugly man Ugly man |

| Duty calls the faithful few The infidel must pay his due For your family we will provide And will fill them with empty pride And for you many virgins wait Say your prayers, accept your fate Liar And with every lying breath You send them to their death We need not the authority Of some God of morality Nor the aid of some skeptic land Who puts truth before our demands And to those who defy our law We will bring them our shock and awe Liar And you send them to their death With your every lying breath |
