They should continue to look over their shoulder, the game becomes clearer all the time.

(7,321 posts)2. Let the Sunshine In..
Brought tears to my eyes, haven't heard this track in decades. Back in the day, it could be heard on the car radio.. This piece is even more prescient than I imagined at that time. Thanks for posting this JR...
This is the sort of "mob flash" I'd love to see all over the country..

From an amazing piece of theater.
Let The Sunshine In
We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere, inside something there is a rush of
Greatness, who knows what stands in front of
Our lives, I fashion my future on films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything
Everything
Manchester, England, England
Manchester, England, England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius, genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God believes in Claude
That's me, that's me, that's me
We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere, inside something there is a rush of
Greatness, who knows what stands in front of
Our lives, I fashion my future on films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Too bad that spirit seems to be dead.

Here is another interesting song from 1985:
STARS AND STRIPES OF CORRUPTION
Finally got to Washington in the middle of the night / I couldnt wait / I headed straight for the Capitol Mall / My heart began to pound / Yahoo! It really exists / The American International Pictures logo / I looked up at that Capitol building / Couldnt help but wonder why / I felt like saying, Hello, old friend / Walked up the hill to touch it /
...
/ Weve got to rise above the need for cops and laws / Let kids learn communication / Instead of schools pushing competition / How about more art and theater instead of sports? / People will always do drugs / Lets legalize them / Crime drops when the mob cant price them / Budgets in the red? / Lets tax religion / No one will do it for us / Well just have to fix it ourselves / Honesty aint all that hard / Just put Rambo back inside your pants / Causing trouble for the system is much more fun / Thank you for the toilet paper / But your flag is meaningless to me / Look around, were all people / Who needs countries anyway? / Our land, I love it too / I think I love it more than you / I care enough to fight / The stars and stripes of corruption / Lets bring it all down! / If we dont try / If we just lie / If we cant find / A way to do better than this / Who will?
