Feel no pain

"Feel No Pain"

Mamma been laid off
Pappa been laid off
My brother's been laid off
For more than two years now
Ooh can't get a job
Billy can't get a job
Ooh they gotta listen to the blues
Help them to strive
Help them to move on
Help them to have some future
Help them to live long
Help them to live life
Help them to smile
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues

Pappa been laid off
Mamma been laid off
Billy can't get a job
For too long too long
Don't let them lose
We gotta give them a chance
It's gonna come back on everyone
If you don't make them dance
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues

There's nothing sacred (why why why))
breathing hatred
We have to face it (why why why)
No one can take it
And feel no pain

One day we're gonna wake up
And the ghetto's all around
All over my friend
Have you ever seen a man break down

Do you know how that feels
To walk the streets with your head held high
Why, why, why
Oh Lord, have mercy
Did you ever see a man break down

There's nothing sacred
Breathing hatred
We have to face it
No one can take it (how can they take that much)
And feel no pain

Ooh did you ever see a man break down

And I mostly listen to punk, 80s alternative, and hard bop jazz. She's just something utterly special.

This sing is one of my faves. She always sings about the emotion turmoil of the human heart.

"Keep on voting Republican assholes into office, it's bound to work one of these times!"
Then they give me some kind of crap about Obama being a Muslim Commie.

Yes, most if not all of those people standing at intersections vote Republican!

Then I ask them if they ever signed an organ donor card because they're brain dead already and maybe their organs could do something more useful than stand around in traffic.
Just about that time they start really getting angry, but the light changes and I'm gone.

Just a note, don't do this unless you are driving a beat up pickup truck with two big dogs in the bed with a .357 magnum on the dashboard.
