where are the protest songs?
They were there again this evening
They paced up and down like sea birds on the ground
Before the storm clouds gathering
I must buy whatever tinned food is left on the shelves
They are testing the air raid sirens
They've filled up the blood banks and emptied the beds
At the hospital and he asylum
I saw a man build a shelter in his garden today
And we stood there idly chatting
He said: "No, no I don't think war will come"
Yet still he carried on digging
Everything in my life that I love
Could be swept away without warning
Yet the birds still sing and the church bells ring
And the sun came up this morning
Life goes on as it did before
As the country drifts slowly to war
I was put in mind of this song last week as things began to stir up, and I got to thinking�
Where are all the good protest songs? If it is true that more than 50% of citizens in the USA disapprove of this war, where are all the protest songs? Where are the songs like Give Peace a Chance, and Down by the Riverside? Where is The Universal Soldier, or even the one that goes �WAR! HN! YEAH! GOOD DAWD, Y�ALL�?
I took another quiz. I was feeling restless, and decided that I would waste some time.
You are APPLEJACK! You're such a cute pony, why do
all the bad things happen to you? First you get
run into by one of those darn speeding pegasi,
then you fall into a river because of a faulty
bridge! Ah, well it all turns out okay in the
end... look on the bright side, you're still
alive and your a cool little pony.
What old skool my little pony are you?

I am not entirely recovered, but I will survive. I walked as far as the video store tonight with Oscar, and we rented some movies, and just vegged out all night. I am going to sleep now.
