Songs that should be re-released to awaken the masses
TMBG's "This is the dawning of the cage and aquarium"

Somebody's reading your mind
Damned if you know who it is
They're digging through all of your files
Stealing back your best ideas
You cover your windows with lead
Even keeping the pets outside

Then you hear, a moment too late,
This sound coming over the phone:

This is the spawning of the cage and aquarium
Don't wait a moment too soon
Used to be different
Now you're the same
Yawn as your plane goes down in flames

This is the spawning of the cage and aquarium
Don't wait a moment too soon
Used to be different
Now you're the same
Yawn as your plane goes down in flames

3. Yeah Rage rocks
I'd have to say that 90% of Rage Against the Machine would work now a days.

6. I'd like to knock a few RW Fundie * fans upside the HEAD with this classic
SABBATH ~ WAR PIGS :headbang:

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 ’till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!

8. Devo's Beautiful World
It’s a beautiful world we live in
A sweet romantic place
Beautiful people everywhere
The way they show they care
Makes me want to say
It’s a beautiful world
For you
It’s a wonderful time to be here
It’s nice to be alive
Wonderful people everywhere
The way they comb their hair
Makes me want to say
It’s a wonderful place
For you
Hey
Tell me what I say
Boy ’n’ girl with the new clothes on
You can shake it to me all night long
Hey hey
It’s not for me
