Bob,
The lyrics are appropriate for what I was thinking this morning about
Sanders' new effort. I was thinking that yes, focusing on electing good
people to office is good, but it's just not enough. There's too much money
and power in the system that these good new people will be elected to. We
need masses of people in the streets, not just the streets in the US because
the system of economic and military power is crushing people world wide. We
need masses of people in the streets of cities all over the world,
simultaneously. Peaceful masses chanting, so many people that the wealthy
powerful elites will just succumb. My dream!
Miriam

Hi Miriam,
Surely all of this is intensely frustrating for those of us who believe that
way too much emphasis has been placed upon military action. No doubt that
the Wall Stream media has been welcoming the hawks and shunning the doves
for a very long time.
When it comes to foreign policy and military intervention abroad, the Who's
"won't get fooled again seems to bee the way of things and it has been now
since 1980.
Whether it's Ray Gun, Daddy Bush, Bubba, The Shrub, the prince of Peace and
(probably soon to come) Ms. President Bubba, it has and will continue to be
a case of "meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
"Won't Get Fooled Again"
By the Who
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all And the world looks just the
same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they are flown in the
next war
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky Though I know that the
hypnotized never lie Do ya?
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Are now
parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Bob Hachey
