Just an old favorite song of mine from the60's.....

Here it is 40 years later, and it once again holds significance. Some of you, no doubt, will recognize it. A lot of you may even have been alive when it was conceived. Discuss, if you wish.

Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope.
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope.
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later, some got slaves to gather riches.

(chorus)
But still from near and far, to seek America,
They came by thousands, to court the wild,
And she just patiently smiled, and bore a child
To be their spirit, and guiding light.

(The world supposedly holds no love for the US, yet still they come...STILL THEY COME!)


And once the ties with the crown had been broken,
Westward in saddle and wagon it went.
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean,
Many the lives which had come to an end.
While we bullied, stole and bought a homeland,
We began the slaughter of the red man.

chorus

The blue and grey they stomped it,
They kicked it just like a dog.
And when the war over,
They stuffed it just like a hog.

And though the past has it's share of injustice,
Kind was the spirit in many a way.
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey.


These protectors and friends are you and I, my brothers and sisters. Here, there be monsters. Time to awaken!

I'm singing this in my head with the voice
of that old guy who whistles when he talks
from Famliy Guy.

'Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison

Steppenwolf was a great band. I had the enormous good fortune to see them perform live in 1970 (I think... but it might have even been 1971).

Monster is still a great tune, no doubt.
