This is a very leftist song. And pretty darned apropos to our present situation. Look out W, in your corporate castle, we're comin' for yo ass.

"And the wind began to howl."

Indeed....

1. Jimi Hendrix version is awesome as was Hendrix

“There must be some kind of way out of here,”
Said the joker to the thief.

“There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine,
Plowmen dig my earth.
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth.”


All along the watchtower,
Princes kept the view,
While all the women came and went —
Barefoot servants too.
Outside in the cold distance,
A wildcat did growl.
Two riders were approaching, and
The wind began to howl.

[Zensea]
