Real punk. My friday night gift to anyone who needs to vent.
We just watched what might be a political chess move. Or maybe just a cave in. Either way, you're not happy to see more war. Well, maybe some punks are way ahead of you. Check it out.

Here's lyrics from one of the tunes they did around 1980.

Uk Subs - Warhead

Soldiers of Islem are loading their guns
They're getting ready
but the Russian tanks are mowing them down
They're getting ready
There's children in Africa with tommy guns
Getting ready
While the Islam armies are beckoning on
They're getting ready

There's a burning sun
And it sets in the western world
But it rises in the east
And pretty soon
It's gonna burn your temples down

While the heads of state are having their fun
Are they ready?
We're looking at the world through the barrel of a gun
Are we ready?
And you stand there beating on your little war drum
Are you ready?
And it won't be long before your time has come
Are you ready?

Warhead, warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead, warhead

Well I don't know what it is but i feel something coming
Stuck in the middle of the Yankees and the Russians
Better get moving guns are getting loaded
Fast to the border where the tanks are a rolling
There's a nation in fear another nation crying
One nation killing and another nation dying
Talk about guns and escalation bye bye planet let alone a nation

2. It's a two for one sale!
You know why I posted this? When I looked at that crowd I realized these guys were the bravest people on earth. Bottles, spit, and who knows what else. Look at us. A bunch of fearful ninnies. And we're the ones dropping the bombs. Man if the people of the US and their Congress had the guts this band has, we'd be one hell of a strong nation.

Or something. :)

4. Oh, all right
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW2Z0QvxAPc - not top-quality video and it cuts off, and of course its mimed, but it's the only one from the day. I'd forgotten what a good little song it was.

5. Yeah, it beats what Boehner is sporting.
I think these guys should be forced upon Congress. Grow some hair, and maybe a spine too.

Good night! I'm done for this day.
