Political song of the day:
Take everything left from me
All!
To!
Blame!
How can we still succeed, taking what we don't need?
Telling lies, alibis, selling all the hate that we breed.
Supersize our tragedies! (You can't define me or justify greed)
Bought in the land of the free! (Land! Free!)
And we're all to blame,
We've gone too far,
From pride to shame,
We're trying so hard,
We're dying in vain,
We're hopelessly blissful and blind
To all we are,
We want it all with no sacrifice!
Realize we spend our lives living in a culture of fear.
Stand to salute; say thanks to the man of the year.
How did we all come to this? (You can't define me or justify greed)
This greed that we just can't resist! (Resist!)
And we're all to blame,
We've gone too far,
From pride to shame,
We're trying so hard,
We're dying in vain,
We're hopelessly blissful and blind
To all we are,
We want it all.
Everyone wants it all with no sacrifice!
Tell me now, what have we done? We don't know.
I can't allow what has begun to tear me down,
Believe me now, we have no choice left with our
Backs against the wall!
And now we're all to blame,
We've gone too far,
From pride to shame,
We're hopelessly blissful and blind
When all we need
Is something true
To believe,
Don't we all?
Everyone, everyone,
We will fall.
'Cause we're all to blame
We've gone too far,
From pride to shame,
We're trying so hard,
We're dying in vain,
We want it all,
Everyone, don't we all?

you know what's great about music? You could post one of these (politica song of the day) every day of the year and never repeat yourself.
We are all to blame. We're all complacent in some way or another.
I think you are seeing a lot more poltical lyrics in pop songs than we've had for 20 or more years. I do think I could post one every day.
I like the line, "We want it all with no sacrifice!" -- We'll go to war but will somehow cut taxes. We'll send young men off to die, but we won't draft the kids of rich parents. Instead of conserving in hard times, we encourage people to continue to be overzealous consumers. There's a huge disconnect.
