Had to do one more for America and the blatant censorship, media concentration, and ineffectual attempt to suppress the workers , middle class,...lower class , and the rest of us, who are never given a handful of dirt ,... although we are the first to starve and the first to die... I'll let the drop kick Murphy's say the rest

Call It Democracy - Bruce Cockburn
Padded with power here they come
International loan sharks backed by the guns
Of market hungry military profiteers
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
With the blood of the poorWho rob life of its quality
Who render rage a necessity
By turning countries into labour camps
Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedomSinister cynical instrument
Who makes the gun into a sacrament --
The only response to the deification
Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
Idolatry of ideologyNorth South East West
Kill the best and buy the rest
It's just spend a buck to make a buck
You don't really give a flying fuck
About the people in miseryIMF dirty MF
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there's one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debtSee the paid-off local bottom feeders
Passing themselves off as leaders
Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
Open for business like a cheap bordelloAnd they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracySee the loaded eyes of the children too
Trying to make the best of it the way kids do
One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
They call the revolutionIMF dirty MF
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there's one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt - 1 year ago

Pink Floyd's Sheep. (it's just . . .timeless!)
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away;
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air.
You'd better watch out!
There may be dogs about
I looked over Jordan, and I've seen
Things are not what they seem.That's what you get for pretending the danger's not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem.
No, this is not a bad dream.The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to die
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives He releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of Karate,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told.
Get out of the road if you want to grow old. - 1 year ago

I pick this because it's a trashy pop ripoff of some old song, ridiculously overdone (like everything on American Idol) and it might come from China. If this is not actually from China that's cool too because Americans suck at geography.

Conquest to the lover
And your love to the fire
Permanence unfolding in the absoluteForgiveness is the
Ultimate sacrifice
Eloquence belongs
To the conquerorThe pictures of time and space are rearranged
In this little piece of typical tragedyJustified candy
Brandy for the nerves
Eloquence belongs
To the conquerorYou and me
we'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agreeYou and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agreeI forgot to
I forgot to let you know thatJustified candy
Brandy for the nerves
Eloquence belongs
To the conquerorConquest to the lover
And your love to the fire
Permanence unfolding in the absoluteForgiveness is the
Ultimate sacrifice
Eloquence belongs
To the conquerorYou and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agreeYou and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agreeGeneration......
What is in us that turns a deaf ear to the cries of human suffering!!!?, Suffering Now!
Suffering, suffering now
Woah!
Suffering now
You and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agreeYou and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty

"A Place In The Sun"
Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sunLike an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' onThere's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sunYou know when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I want you to always rememberYes, there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone... - 1 year ago

Down in the swampy streets of Washington,
Along the river in the noonday sun they meet,
And they don’t even feel the heat.They’re bought and paid for like a high class whore
Completely rotten to the very core, it’s true,
That they don’t ever think of you.They look into your bedroom drawer,
They look into your mail,
They listen to your telephone calls,
And maybe put you into jail,
They pour the water down your throat,
They beat you' til you squeal,
And they be telling all your friends,
That none of it is real,I gotta say they really hate your guts,
They really laughin’ in your face and you just smile,
You're watchin TV all the while,Why can’t you see they really hate your guts?
You just a slave inside a pretty colored cell,
I thought you’d recognize the smell.They look into your bedroom drawer,
They look into your mail,
They listen to your telephone calls,
And then they put you into jail,
They pour the water down your throat,
They beat you 'til you squeal,
And they be telling all your friends,
That none of it is real,Down in the swampy streets of Washington,
They do their planning for the businesses they run,
And you don’t own a single one,You’re bought and paid for like a rich man’s dog,
Maybe you’re happy like a well fed hog, okay,
But all your freedom’s yesterday.They hate your guts, you know they hate your guts.

Ain't that America? They promise you a little pink house, and then build an interstate through it. They tell you you can be president, but only if you have 50 million to spend on a campaign.
