Math Debater: May 6, 2007; by zen death robot

Hello friends and comrades, I have decided that it would be really fabulously fantastic if the Debate & Discussion forum had a music thread where people can post their favorite political and D&D-esque music! I really love the D&D pictures thread and I am hopeful that this could be a similarly fun and entertaining thread with a relatively relaxed and casual posting atmosphere. Moderators and Administrators, I hope you will be okay with this thread! I think there is a lot of really fantastic political music out there and I am interested in learning about other posters' favorite political songs! So I strongly encourage everyone who posts in this thread to put some D&D-related music in their post!

I decided to kick this thread off by making a video of myself singing the English language version of the USSR anthem and uploading it to youtube! This version of the Soviet anthem was originally sung by Paul Robeson, and I hope you enjoy my amateurish a cappella rendition of this tubular tune! Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji3QcgybUYY

I'm looking forward to hearing other posters' favorite political music and I may post more music too if this thread catches on!

Edit: I guess I'll post the lyrics to the English version of the USSR anthem, just like some other posters have been posting the lyrics to the amazingly awesome songs they're posting! In my a cappella rendition of the song, I replaced the word "men" with the gender-neutral term "folks." So I'll do that in the lyrics I post too. Here are the lyrics:

United forever in friendship and labor,
Our mighty Republics will ever endure.
The great Soviet Union will live through the ages.
The dream of a people their fortress secure.

CHORUS
Long live our Soviet motherland, built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our people, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire. Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all folks to see.

Through days dark and stormy where great Lenin lead us
Our eyes saw the bright Sun of freedom above
and Stalin our leader with faith in the people,
Inspired us to build up the land that we love.

CHORUS

We fought for the future, destroyed the invader,
and brought to our homeland the laurels of fame.
Our glory will live in the memory of nations
and all generations will honor her name.

CHORUS

Thanks, Wikipedia! And thanks to all of you maximally mondo posters who have posted some spectacularly splendid music in this thread!

Nothing comes close to Madison Rising

quote:

IN THE DAYS THAT REAGAN RULED

Searching in the distance
For a shining city on a hill
For I was told in days of old
That it would be there still

But what I see is killin� me
It tears right at my soul
Just enemies of liberty
Now victims they are called

The people can�t communicate
No language as a glue
And the communists in Hollywood
Who tell you what to do
But things were so much different --

Chorus:
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
He was the Gipper, he had the knack
He took a bullet and he still came back
In The Days That Reagan Ruled!
In The Days That Reagan Ruled!
He was an honest man with a simple dream
A dream we should hold true

When he met with Gorbachev, he stood firm and proud
Not like other men, who would�ve knelt down and bowed
All his rivals couldn�t stand the plot
But he destroyed our greatest enemy - without a single shot

Negotiate, yet dominate; peace through strength he�d say
No hostages he�d let you hold, not for a day
Things were so much different --

Chorus

California was still the Golden State
Our culture we could celebrate
Our First Lady still had some class
No race-baiters talking all of their trash

In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
Things were so much different
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled

Chorus

Tearing down an iron wall
Acting in his greatest role
Made all his critics look like fools
�Cause even jelly beans were cool!

It's great music but it's way more political than it was ever meant to be. It's also a fascinating piece from a musicological perspective.

Fresh out of school cause I was a high school grad
Gots to get a job cuz I was a high school dad
Wish I got paid like I was rappin' to the nation
But thats not likely, so here's my application
Pass it to the man at AT&T
Cause when I was in school I got the A.E.E
But there's no S.C. for this youngsta
I didn't have no money so now I got to punch the
Clock at a slave, and be half a man
But whitey says there's no room for the African
Always knew that I would clock G's
But welcome to McDonalds may I take your order please
Gotta serve ya food that might give you cancer
Cuz my son doesn't take no for an answer
Now I pay taxes that you never give me back
What about diapers, bottles, and similac
Do I gotta go sell me a whole lotta crack
For decent shelter and clothes on my back?
Or should I just wait for help from Bush
Or Jesse Jackson, and Operation Push
If you ask me the whole thing needs a douche
A Massengill what the hell crack will sell in the neighborhood
To the corner house bitches
Miss Parker, little joe and Todd Bridges
Or anybody that he know
So I copped me a bird, better known as a kilo
Now everybody know I went from po' to a nigga that got dough
So now you put the feds against me
Cause I couldn't follow the plan of the presidency
I'm never givin' love again
Cuz blacks are too fuckin broke to be republican
Now I remember I used to be cool
Till I stopped fillin' out my W-2
Now senators are gettin' high
And your plan against the ghetto backfired
So now you got a pep talk
But sorry, this is our only room to walk
Cause we don't want a drug push
But a bird in the hand is worth more than the bush

efficiency and progress is ours once more,

away with excess enemy
but no less value to property
no sense in war but perfect sense at home

the sun shines down on a brand new day
no more welfare tax to pay
unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
jobless millions whisked away
at least we have more room to play
all systems go to kill the poor tonight

kill kill kill kill kill the poor
kill kill kill kill kill the poor
kill kill kill kill kill the poor tonight

behold the sparkle of champagne
the crime rate's gone, feel free again
life's a blaze with you, miss lily white
Jane Fonda on the screen today

so let's get dressed and dance away the night

electrodes on your balls
come on scream, come on writhe

In the name of world peace

America pumps up our secret police

So what's ten million dead

we're well-trained by the CIA

the Peace Corps builds us labor camps
when they think they're building schools, hah!

When cowboy Ronnie comes to town
forks out his tongue at human rights
sit down, enjoy our ethnic meal
dine on some charbroiled nuns
try a medal on

sometimes the more I think I know, the more I find I don't
every answer always brings so many questions
like anarchy sounds good to me, til someone asks who'll fix the sewers
and will the rednecks just play king of the neighborhood?

how many liberators really want to be dictators?
every theory has its holes when real life steps in

so how do we feed and make room for all the people on our earth
and transfer all that wealth from the rich to those who need it?

where do ya draw the line?
where do ya draw the line?
where do ya draw the line?
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you

ever notice how hard line radicals can go on star trips, too
where no one's pure and right except themselves?
"I'm cleansed of the system, except when my amp needs electric power"
or "the party line says no, feminists can't wear fishnets"

"You want to help stop war? Well, we reject your application.
You crack too many jokes and you eat meat."

what better way to turn people off than to twist ideas and change
into one more church that forgets we're all human beings?

where do ya draw the line?
where do ya draw the line?
where do ya draw the line?
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you

in Toronto someone blew up a cruise missile warhead plant
10 slightly hurt, 4 million dollars damage
why not destroy private property
when it's used against you and me?
is that violence or self-defense?
you tell me

where do ya draw the line?

In general, the new Scott Walker post-Nite Flights has been extremely reluctant to discuss the meaning of his lyrics, but The Electrician is one song with which he did acquiesce. In the above-mentioned 1984 radio interview, Scott described it as follows: a political song... having to do with... the Americans sending in these people, trained torturers in South America... I imagined these lovers in a conversation... if you listen to the words of The Electrician it really explains itself after I've started.

Elvis Costello - Tramp the Dirt Down

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t4-zDem1Sk

quote:

And now the cynical ones say that it all ends the same in the long run
Try telling that to the desperate father who just squeezed the life from his only son
And how it's only voices in your head and dreams you never dreamt
Try telling him the subtle difference between justice and contempt
Try telling me she isn't angry with this pitiful discontent
When they flaunt it in your face as you line up for punishment
And then expect you to say thank you straighten up, look proud and pleased
Because youve only got the symptoms, you haven't got the whole disease
Just like a schoolboy, whose heads like a tin-can
Filled up with dreams then poured down the drain
Try telling that to the boys on both sides, being blown to bits or beaten and maimed
Who takes all the glory and none of the shame

Well I hope you live long now, I pray the lord your soul to keep
I think I'll be going before we fold our arms and start to weep
I never thought for a moment that human life could be so cheap
But when they finally put you in the ground
They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down

I wish there was an accompanying song for Reagan.

I went back to Ohio but my city was gone
There was no train station; there was no downtown
South Howard had disappeared; all my favorite places
My city had been pulled down - reduced to parking spaces
Way to go, Ohio

I went back to Ohio but my family was gone
I stood on the back porch, there was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories slowly swirled past like the wind through the trees
Way to go, Ohio

I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside had been paved down the middle by a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio had been replaced by shopping malls
And muzak filled the air from Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Way to go, Ohio

You may also recognize it as Rush Limbaugh's bumper music.

Phil Ochs -- Ringing of Revolution posted:

When we saw that rebellion was growing.
Now everything's lost as they kneel by the cross
Where the blood of christ is still flowing.
To late for their sorrow they've reached their tomorrow

And reaped the seed they were sowing.
Now harvested by the ringing of revolution.
In tattered tuxedos they faced the new heroes
And crawled about in confusion.

And they sheepishly grinned for their memoroes were dim
Of the decades of dark execution.
Hollow hands were raised; they stood there amazed
In the shattering of their illusions.

As the windows were smashed by the ringing of revolution.
Down on our knees we're begging you please,
We're sorry for the way you were driven.
There's no need to taunt just take what you want,

And we'll make amends, if we're living.
But away from the grounds the flames told the town
That only the dead are forgiven.
As they crumbled inside the ringing of revolution.

I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy

But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R.
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
I'm glad the commies were thrown out
of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
as long as they don't move next door
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

The people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I read New republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I vote for the democratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
But I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Also pretty much everything Boots Riley does is good.

How could it be that nobody has posted Phil Ochs' Love Me I'm a Liberal yet?

Exclamation Marx already did.

LOWKEY - HAND ON YOUR GUN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBNeD57-RVg

This one is dedicated to the suit-wearing arms dealers
To the champagne-sipping depleted uranium droppers

[Hook:]
Keep your hand on your gun
Don't you trust anyone
Keep your hand on your gun
Don't you trust anyone

[Verse 1:]
First in my scope is BAE Systems
Specialize in killing people from a distance
Power is a drug and they feed the addiction
Immediate deletion of people's existence
Who says what is and what isn't legitimate resistance
To push these buttons you don't need a brave heart
State of the art darts leave more than your face scarred
You might impress an A&R with your fake bars
Cause you probably think Rolls Royce only make cars
This is for the colonizers turned bomb-providers
Take this beef all the way back to Oppenheimer
They call it warfare but your wars aren't fair
If they were there'd be suicide bombers in Arms Fairs
On a scam for the funds, they will mangle your son
If you try to speak out they will stamp on your tongue
To your land they will come till you stand up as one
It's begun

[Verse 2:]
Next in my scope is Lockheed Martin
They will tell you when the bombs need blastin'
Don't think, just listen to the songs, keep dancin'
Do they really want us to have our own brains
Who do you think is really running Guantanamo Bay
And it might be sensitive but I'll mention it
Who do you think has got us filling out the censuses
Who do you think is handing out the sentences
This ain't the BBC so there's no censorship
Heard of many mercenaries gettin' with the clever pimp
Not a gun seller but none's better than Erik Prince
Make money off many things, mainly it's crime
This one is dedicated to the Raytheon 9
On a scam for the funds, they will mangle your son
If you try to speak out they will stamp on your tongue
To your land they will come till you stand up as one
It's begun

Edit: I guess I'll post the lyrics to the English version of the USSR anthem, just like some other posters have been posting the lyrics to the amazingly awesome songs they're posting! In my a cappella rendition of the song, I replaced the word "men" with the gender-neutral term "folks." So I'll do that in the lyrics I post too. Here are the lyrics:

Have you considered branching out to other genres, Math Debater?

It's just that I feel your efforts are wasted on the likes of Robeson. Could you try your hand at some disgusting fascist marching songs instead or something?

With a singing voice like yours I think you might have a shot at pulling off the musical equivalent of "Scared Straight!", only directed at would-be neonazis instead of teenage delinquents.

I'm just poking fun of course.

Robeson IS awesome, however, though I must say I've always preferred his take on "Joe Hill" to his rendition of the USSR anthem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8Kxq9uFDes

Oingo Boingo - Insanity

quote:

...
And the alchoholic bastard waved his finger at me
His voice was filled with evanglical glee
Sipping down his gin and tonics
While preaching about the evils of narcotics
And the evils of sex, and the wages of sin
While he mental fondles his next of kin
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me

...

Christian sons, christian daughters
Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
Purify my brain and hose down my soul
White perfection, perfection is my goal

Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me

Christian nation, make us alright
Put us through the filter and make us pure and white
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
Let's talk of family falues while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're on the top ask any proud white male
A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle

Black Sabbath - War Pigs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGPD0ZBiMs0

quote:

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgment day comes
Yeah!

Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh lord yeah!
