6. Kenny Loggins - This is it.

It's a source of amazement for me how some songs from our decades past prempted the reality that best renders meaning to the music. This one is especially prescient and key to our troubled times.



There've been times in my life,
i've been wonderin' why.
still, somehow i believed we'd always survive.
now, i'm not so sure
you're waiting here, one good reason to try
but, what more can i say? what's left to provide?
(you think that maybe it's over, )
(only if you want it to be.)
are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?
stand up and fight.
(this is it.) make no mistake where you are.
(this is it.) you back's to the corner.
(this is it.) don't be a fool anymore.
(this is it.) The waiting is over, no, don't you run.
no way to hide.
no time for wonderin' why.
it's here, the moment is now, about to decide.
let 'em believe.
leave 'em behind.
but keep me near in your heart.
know whatever you do, i'm here by your side.
(you say that maybe it's over.)
(not if you don't want it to be.)
for once in your life, here's your miracle.
stand up and fight.
(this is it.) make no mistake where you are.
(this is it.) you're goin' no further.
(this is it.) until it's over and done.
(no one can tell what the future holds.)
oh-oh-oh-oh.
(who makes the choice of how it goes?)

And this one in particular fits Trump, and what Cohen would tell Trump. As Freddie says in the intro, the song is about a nasty old man he once knew:

I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since, I don't know when

You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you preach
Screw my brain till it hurts
You've taken all my money
And you want more
Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules
With your narrow minded cronies
Who are fools of the first division
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart of your own
Kill joy bad guy big talking small fry
You're just an old barrow boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good are you satisfied?
Do you feel like suicide?(I think you should)
Is your conscience all right
Does it plague you at night?
Do you feel good feel good?

You talk like a big business tycoon
You're just a hot air balloon
So no one gives you a damn
You're just an overgrown schoolboy
Let me tan your hide
A dog with disease
You're the king of the sleaze
Put your money where your mouth is
Mister know-all
Was the fin on your back
Part of the deal? (shark)
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart (you never did) of your own (right from the start)
Insane you should be put inside
You're a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride
Should be made unemployed
Then make yourself null and void
Make me feel good I feel good
