popular music trashing US president.... I'm down.
    #6923438 - 05/16/07 05:33 AM (16 years, 10 months ago)

The trend seems to suggest that George W. Bush will be a name not soon forgotten, and undoubtedly, a prominent name in history- with a reputation for being one of the most stubborn, stupid, cowardly, and ruthless leaders the US has seen.

This is of course, all redundant.  But I smile, and roll my eyes, as i listen to new popular music on the radio "subtley" trashing the US president.  I would have been impressed 5 yrs ago...

The first new popular song was played on the radio as i was driving to work in San Diego a number of months ago.  It was the Muse's "Knights of Cydonia" :

Come ride with me,
Through the veins of history
I'll show you how god
Falls asleep on the job

And how can we win
When fools can be kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive



It doesn't take a genius to realize the reference...  Yet slightly more conspicuous is the new Nine Inch Nails "Capital G" :

He pushed a button and it dropped a bomb
You pushed the button and could watch it on the television
Those motherfuckers didn't last too long uh-uh!
I'm sick of hearing about the have's and the have not's
Have some personal accountability
The biggest problem with the way that we've been doing things is
The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me

Well I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Traded in my god for this one
And he signs his name with a capital G

Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
Don't really see what all the fuss is about

Ain't gonna worry about no future generations and uh!
I'm sure somebody gonna figure it out
Don't try to tell me how some power can corrupt a person
You haven't had enough to know what its like
You're only angry cause you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head because you know that I'm right, alright!

Well I used to stand for something
But forgot what that could be
There's a lot of me inside you
Maybe you're afraid to see

Well I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Traded in my god for this one
And he signs his name with a capital G


I wonder what is next. :smile2:

That new Muse album is a big step back for them, if'n ya ask me.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

Dunno who Mr. Lif is, but i was referring specifically to popular music- stuff you hear on lots of radio stations.
Surely, Muse and NIN are not the first to bash on Bush.

Whose writing songs to support him? I'll give it a shot - here goes:

"Yuk yuk yuk,
Yuk, yuk, yuk,
Noo-kyoo-lar duck,
Stuck in my truck,
Don't give a hoozits!
'Cause dubbya's gonna loozits!
And smack them pagan an-ee-mules in the watoozits - YEEHAW!"

Dunno, but it seemed appropriate. I think of dubbya's world as one where Jesus is white, with a crew-cut, and comes from a poor sharecropper's hut somewhere in Arkansas. That being the case, the lyrics to my song might actually be meaningful to dubbya and people like him, so I thought I'd throw it out there.

Odessa Texas 1948
Destined for greatness, and he couldn't wait
As for motive, that's up for debate
Lone Star, yeah... he's packin the heat
Rubbin elbows with the social elite
Who took notice of a world at his feet
The big drill, and the CIA
Richard Nixon paved the way for this god to have his day VP under Bonzo Reagan
Then Pres, of this once great nation
91', his first invasion
Oh... the good ol' days I miss
Now get me out of this, this hierarchal abyss
Kissin' Middle Eastern ass
While pride, black gold, and gas
Just a profiteer on your foreign soil
Operation Blood for Oil
Passed the buck to his number one
Now we're fucked by the bastard son
Can't hide, so we better run
Three cheers for the underachiever
Once a drunk, and now a believer
All hail The Great Deceiver
First term saw mass corruption
2 wars to boost production
All done for your protection
C'est La Vie to French relations and to NATO's limitations that prevent occupations
Oh... bleed me til' I'm bled
Voices never heard, blues are getting' red
Kissin' Middle Eastern ass
Skull bones, black gold, and gas
He an irritation and a fucking boil
Operation Blood for Oil

Young Abdel Madi Shabneh was only 18 years old,
He was the youngest of nine children, never spent a night away from home.
And his mother held his photograph up in the New York Times
You see the killing has intensified along the road to peace

He was a tall, thin boy with a whispy moustache disguised as an orthodox Jew
On a crowded bus in Jerusalem, some had survived World War Two
And the thunderous explosion blew out windows 200 yards away
With more retribution and seventeen dead along the road to peace

Now at King George Ave and Jaffa Road passengers boarded bus 14a
In the aisle next to the driver Abdel Madi Shabnet
And the last thing that he said on earth is "God is great and God is good"
And he blew them all to kingdom come upon the road to peace

Now in response to this another kiss of death was visited upon
Yasser Taha, Israel says is an Hamas senior militant
And Israel sent four choppers in, flames engulfed his white Opel
And it killed his wife and his three year old child leaving only a blackened skeleton

They found his toddlers bottle and a pair of small shoes and they waved them in front of the cameras
But Israel says they did not know that his wife and child were in the car
There are roadblocks everywhere and only suffering on TV
Neither side will ever give up their smallest right along the road to peace

Israel launched it's latest campaign against Hamas on Tuesday
And two days later Hamas shot back and killed five Israeli soldiers
So thousands dead and wounded on both sides most of them middle eastern civilians
They fill the children full of hate to fight an old man's war and die upon the road to peace

"Now this is our land we will fight with all our force" say the Palastinians and the Jews
Each side will cut off the hand of anyone who tries to stop the resistance
If the right eye offends thee then you must pluck it out
And Mahmoud Abbas said Sharon had been lost out along the road to peace

Once Kissinger said "we have no friends, America only has interests"
Now our president wants to be seen as a hero and he's hungry for re-election
But Bush is reluctant to risk his future in the fear of his political failure
So he plays chess at his desk and poses for the press 10,000 miles from the
road to peace

In the video that they found at the home of Abdel Madi Shabneh
He held a Kalashnikov rifle and he spoke with a voice like a boy
He was an excellent student, he studied so hard, it was as if he had a future
He told his mother that he had a test that day out along the road to peace

The fundamentalist killing on both sides is standing in the path of peace
But tell me why are we arming the Israeli army with guns and tanks and bullets?

And if God is great and God is good why can't he change the hearts of men?
Well maybe God himself is lost and needs help
Maybe God himself he needs all of our help
Maybe God himself is lost and needs help
He's out upon the road to peace

Well maybe God himself is lost and needs help
Maybe God himself he needs all of our help
And he's lost upon the road to peace
And he's lost upon the road to peace
Out upon the road to peace


Tom Waits, 'Road to Peace'

While I appreciate the sentiment, Tom Waits should stick to things he actually knows about, like hookers, cheap booze, and vomiting on his piano.

yep, it's on the brawlers disc of orphans. it's a badass track. it's like ten minutes long though, so it's kind of like settling in for story time.

UPDATE - Please disregard my earlier post knocking Tom Waits. I just started listening to "Nighthawks at the Diner" for the first time in like ten years, and I had forgotten just how good he is.

"My pork cutlet just got off the plate and walked down the counter to pick a fight with my coffee, and the coffee was too weak to defend itself...."

That's too cool for school.

In my defense, if I recall the lyrics of songs from the album "Closing Time" he does tend to sing about a lot of drunken vomiting.
