Robert Plant ..... Freedom Fries

[Tsiyu]

The father, son and the Holy Ghost
Took the last train to the coast
They were moving fast, they were raising sand
They were running wild in the promised land

The father, son and the three wise men
Operating undercover out in Bethlehem
Will they heal the sick? Can they raise the dead?
Can they bring it on home like the good book says?

Billy the Kid told the Prince of Thieves,
A little give and take to satisfy my needs
You can give me lots but I'll take some more
I got my eyes on your treasure beneath the desert floor?

Freedom fries and burns and scars
The liberator goes too far
Freedom fries and screams and yells
The promised land is promised hell


Heard this today on the radio.....

1. Robert Plant doesn't strike me as a poilitical guy

Or at least one that would let politics blend into his music.

[AntiCoup2K4]

2. First time I ever remember him being that blatantly political.

And I'm all for it. A little more substance there than some of his 80's material where he made a trendy dance pop song out of old Zep samples and threw some cheese on top ("Tall Cool One")

3. Kewl! Rober Plant rawks!

:loveya:

[LynneSin]

4. LZ was pretty non-political even during Vietnam

But I was suprised to hear the political overtones in his new album. Makes me :loveya: him even more.

BTW, someone mentioned the pop crap of the 80's he did and yes, even I agree some of it was really bad
