Lyrics that make an impact
My first submission is:
"Put your hands up high if you haven't abandoned hope that a pen stroke is stronger than a cannon"
From Stand Up by Flobots ala Jonny 5!

We want freedom of speech
But we all talking at the same time
We say we want peace
but nobody wants to change their own mind
*points up* Michael Franti^^
-------------------------------------------------------------
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
Till it was a battle cry
This one is by Regina Spektor.

rebel, rebel and yell
cause our people still dwell in hell
locked in a cell
yes, the structure's a cell
mad is the story I tell
how long can we wait?
seein' what's at stake
action for reactin
if your minds in a complacent state
get a check up
this is a stick up
our freedom or your life
lord, I wish I could be peaceful
but there can be no sequel
now freedom must be fundamental
in Johannesburg or South Central
on the mic, cause' someone should tell'em
to kick in the township rebellion

Zach is the man, rumor has it that Rage may come to Denver for the Democratic convention. I saw them @ Mammoth Event Center (Now Fillmore) opening for Cypress Hill, House of Pain, and Funkdoobiest...Rage was FIRST! WOW how times have changed! ;-)

zach is the greatest lyricist of all time, everything he writes has more meaning than most songs do.

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
John Lennon (RIP) from "Imagine"

probably the most meaningful of all time, no mention on confilct, just the sharing of an absolute and idealistic idea, the world needs to take it on board

The present curriculum
I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Of the system that cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back
I'll let some folks figure this one out, DON'T GOOGLE IT! ( AMBER!!!----J/K :-) )
