My Victory song..What's yours?

[undergroundpanther]

It's from OK Go.


Hello, my treacherous friends,(you republican trolls/lurkers..)
and thank you for joining me here tonight.
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must,
how pleasant has been this demise..



"Get Over It",by OK Go.

Lot of knots, lot of snags,
lot of holes, lot of cracks lot of crags.
Lot of naggin' old hags,
lot of fools, lot of fool scum bags.
Oh it's such a drag, what a chore...
oh your wounds are full of salt.
Every thing's a stress and what's more,
well it's all somebody's fault.

(Hey!) Get, get, get, get, get over it!
Get over it, get over it.

Makes you sick, makes you ill,
makes you cheat, slipping change from the till.
Had it up to the gills... makes you cry while
the milk still spills. Ain't it just a bitch? What a pain...
Well it's all a crying shame. What
left to do but complain? Better find someone to blame.

(Hey!) Get, get, get, get, get over it!
Get over it, get over it.

Got a job, got a life, got a four-door
and a faithless wife.
Got those nice copper pipes,
got an ex, got a room for the night.
Aren't you such a catch?
What a prize! Got a body like a battle axe...
Love that perfect frown,(dis) honest eyes...
We ought to buy you a Cadillac.

(Hey!) Get, get, get, get, get over it!
Get over it, get over it.

4. Better Days by Goo Goo Dolls

Lyrics

And you ask me what I want this year
and I try to make this kind and clear
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
'cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
and designer love and empty things
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Chorus
So take these words and sing out loud
'cause everyone is forgiven now
'cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I need some place simple we could live
and something only you can give
and that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive
and the one poor child who saved this world
and there's ten million more who probably could
if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

Chorus

I wish everyone was loved tonight
and somehow stop this endless fight
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Chorus

By the way,The Goo Goo Dolls are big time Dem supporters, and they played for the crowds at the convention in Denver. Watch the video on youtube. Beautiful!

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

9. From Les Mis "Do you hear the people sing"

singing the songs of angry men. It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again. when the beating of your heart echoes the beating of a drum, there is a light about to spark when tomorrow comes...

11. "Waking Up" (please watch my video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jat17gUY8D8

I'm a newbie lurker and can't start a thread, but I hope some of you will watch the video I made. I'm not the musician so this isn't self-promotion. It's called "Waking Up to Obama" and here are some of the lyrics:

We're waking up
Yes it's good
We're waking up
like I knew we would

There's a breath of hope
for everyone to share
There's a growing force
of people who care

In all the years of struggle
it seems we're making way
I have never been afraid to
change the circumstances
of the world

Cobwebs everywhere
It's time for a deep sweep

We're waking up
Yes it's clear
We're waking up
Dawn is here

Feel the searing heat of
heightened consciousness
Feel the yearning for
peace and happiness

I love this song and it speaks to me as a recent convert to Obama's message of hope and change.

I voted early! I'm so excited!

12. Tears for Fears with "Shout"

One of the finer songs to come out of the 80s.


Shout

Chorus
Shout
Shout
Let it aloud
These are the things I can do without
Come on
Im talking to you
Come on
(repeat)

In violent times
You shouldnt have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldnt have to jump for joy
You shouldnt have to jump for joy

Chorus

They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale

Chorus(x2)

And when youve taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
Id really love to break your heart
Id really love to break your heart

Chorus

15. Free - Dana International

Backing Choir: ooohh, ooohh, ooohh I am free)

Free like the river
Floating free through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind
Freer than the clock hands
Tickin' way the time
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
(Backing Choir: I'm talking 'bout!)
Life (Backing Choir:Life !)
running through me
Till I feel my father G-d has called

Free to be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shining through my soul
Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold
Free like the river
(Backing Choir: Free!)
Free like the river
(Backing Choir: Free!)
Ahhh, I am free

Backing Choir:
I'm free like the river
I'm free like the mountains
I'm free like the river
Flowing through my life

I'm free h-e-y like the river
Aaaahhh I am free
Free
Free
I am free
Free like the river
Aaaahhh I am free

17. Watched the movie "Young at Heart and fell in love with this song

Yes we can can

by Donnie McClurkin

Verse 1:
Now's the time for all good men
To get together with one another
We've got to iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
We've got to try to find peace witihin
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the woman of the world
Remember, we all have mothers

Chorus:
You gotta make this land a better land
In the world in which we live
We gotta help each man and each woman be better
By the kindness that we give
I know we can make it, I know real well
We can make it, yes we can, can...
Yes we can, I know we can, can
Yes we can, can, a why can't we if we wanna
Yes we can, can

I know we can make it work
I know we can make it if we try
Yes we can, I know we can, can
Yes we can, Great God Almighty
Yes we can, I know we can, can
(We can make it work I know we can)
(Well)

Yes, we can can...

We've got to take care of the children
The children of this worrld
For they are the strongest hope for the world
The little bitty boys and girls

Chorus:
You gotta make this land a better land
In the world in which we live
We gotta help each man and each woman be better
By the kindness that we give
I know we can make it, I know real well
We can make it, yes we can, can...
Yes we can, I know we can, can
Yes we can, can, a why can't we if we wanna
Yes we can, can

I know we can make it work
I know we can make it if we try
Yes we can, I know we can, can
Yes we can, Great God Almighty
Yes we can, I know we can, can
(We can make it work I know we can)
(Well)

Yes, we can can...

Has Obama used this at all? If you have not seen the documentary of "Young @ Heart, do so. Great story and great film making.

[Suji to Seoul]

19. Until we get to 270 EVs. . .nothing.

After that: RATM: "Take The Power Back"

Bring that shit in! Uggh!

Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry
Now check this out...uggh!

In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and right

So called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their God
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
Yo, we gotta take the power back!
Bam! Here's the plan
Motherfuck Uncle Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

The present curriculum
I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Of the system that cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it,
break it down
Awww shit!

Uggh!

And like this...uggh!

Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way!

The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
Bouning off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Bullshit that he learned in school

Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the motherfuckin' weathermen
To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies

Uggh!

Yeah!

Take it back y'all
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back y'all, come on!
Take it back y'all
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back y'all, come on!

Uggh!

Yeah!

21. You'll never walk alone

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

22. "Auld Lang Syne"

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
And surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And I will be drinking a toast to many a person: MLK, JFK, RFK, Molly Ivins, Ann Richards, Paul Wellstone, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Madelyn Dunham, Barbara Jordan, Myles Horton, Fannie Lou Hamer, Septima Clark.............

23. For America...Jackson Browne

As if I really didn't understand
That I was just another part of their plan
I went off looking for the promise
Believing in the Motherland
And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed
And the safety of my own head
I went on speaking of the future
While other people fought and bled
The kid I was when I first left home
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
When the truth was known
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
It's in my blood and in my bones
By the dawn's early light
By all I know is right
We're going to reap what we have sown

As if freedom was a question of might
As if loyalty was black and white
You hear people say it all the time-
"My country wrong or right"
I want to know what that's got to do
With what it takes to find out what's true
With everyone from the President on down
Trying to keep it from you

The thing I wonder about the Dads and Moms
Who send their sons to the Vietnams
Will they really think their way of life
Has been protected as the next war comes?
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
Her shining dream plays in my mind
By the rockets red glare
A generation's blank stare
We better wake her up this time

The kid I was when I first left home
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
When the truth was known
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
I can't let go till she comes around
Until the land of the free
Is awake and can see
And until her conscience has been found

New American Century

Count your blessings
Walk the line
Don't move too fast
Or fall behind
There are rules you must obey
They get re-written by the day
Don't do this - don't say that
Your every move is logged and tracked
By the all oppressive eye
Spy satellites in friendly skies

The new american century
Has only just begun
No one exempt from the tragedy
Counterattack start pushing back

Fight the power
That chokes your speech
Fight the power
That makes you bleed
Fight the power
That propogates lies
To keep you weak
Keep you in line
Fight the power that reigns you in
< Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/39JO >
Divides and conquers
Defines your sin
Fight the power
For one and all
Before the power swallows us whole

No one dares to say a word
Our panic drives all human herds
In the land where cash is king
Our silence bought and sold for free
The future's banging on our door
When real I.D. will be the law
Love thy neighbor and turn him in
It's call patriotism

The world is watching in disbelief
Chanting shame on you
How can you stand by so quietly
Letting them rape your liberties

You can't be bothered or concerned
You see no reason for alarm
Prejudice, religion hate
Usher in new mandate
Absolute and resolved
One nation under one god
Lack of interest has its price
As we're stripped of all our rights

Those who cannot learn from history
Are doomed to repeat it!

[Berry Cool]

26. Just One Victory by Todd Rundgren

We've been waiting so long,
We've been waiting for the sun to rise and shine
Shining still to give us the will
Can you hear me, the sound of my voice?
I am here to tell you I have made my choice
I've been listening to what's been going down
There's just too much talk and gossip going 'round
You may think that I'm a fool, but I know the answer
Words become a tool, anyone can use them
Take the golden rule as the best example
Eyes that have seen will know what I mean

The time has come to take the bull by the horns
We've been so downhearted, we've been so forlorn
We get weak and we want to give in
But we still need each other if we want to win

Hold that line, baby hold that line
Get up boys and hit 'em one more time
We may be losing now but we can't stop trying
So hold that line, baby hold that line

If you don't know what to do about a world of trouble
You can pull it through if you need to
And if you believe it's true, it will surely happen
Shining still, to give us the will
Bright as the day, to show us the way

Somehow, someday,
We need just one victory and we're on our way
Prayin' for it all day and fightin' for it all night
Give us just one victory, it will be all right

We may feel about to fall but we go down fighting
You will hear the call if you only listen
Underneath it all we are here together
Shining still, to give us the will
Somehow, someday,
We need just one victory and we're on our way
Prayin' for it all day and fightin' for it all night
Give us just one victory, it will be all right

[NEWWORLDPATRIOT]

How about something from the Village people!

[KharmaTrain]

28. NO SURRENDER!!! No Prisoners, Either...

Well we busted out of class
Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three-minute record
Baby, than we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighbourhood drummer sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you're tired and you just wanna close your eyes
And follow your dreams down

Well we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter's night with a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender

Well now young faces grow sad and old
And hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice calling us home
Across the open yards
Well maybe we could cut someplace of our own
With these drums and these guitars

'Cause we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Hey!
(Lalala...)
(Lalala...)
(Lalala...)
(Lalala...)

Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closing in
There's a war outside still raging
you say it ain't ours anymore to win
I wanna sleep beneath peaceful skies in my lover's bed
With a wide open country in my eyes
And these romantic dreams in my head

Because we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender
No retreat, baby, no surrender

- B. Springsteen
