I switched from an old PC to a less old Mac recently, but had to re-work my music on an external, so I haven't been able to access my music for a couple months. Well, I finally go around to it and I'm re-visiting all the music I have. And this popped up this morning.

I'm Afraid of Americans - David Bowie and Trent Reznor

My mac mini took a shit a week or so ago and I'm been without my music until the hard drive was replaced. This popped up this morning. Very timely....

coming of age during the plague
of reagan and bush
watching capitalism gun down democracy
it had this funny effect on me
i guess

i am cancer
i am HIV
and i'm down at the blue jesus
blue cross hospital
just lookin' up from my pillow
feeling blessed

and the mighty multinationals
have monopolized the oxygen
so it's as easy as breathing
for us all to participate

yes they're buying and selling
off shares of air
and you know it's all around you
but it's hard to point and say "there"
so you just sit on your hands
and quietly contemplate

your next bold move
the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself

what a waste of thumbs that are opposable
to make machines that are disposable
and sell them to seagulls flying in circles
around one big right wing

yes, the left wing was broken long ago
by the slingshot of cointelpro
and now it's so hard to have faith in
anything

especially your next bold move
or the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself

you want to track each trickle
back to its source
and then scream up the faucet
'til your face is hoarse
cuz you're surrounded by a world's worth
of things you just can't excuse

but you've got the hard cough of a chain smoker
and you're at the arctic circle playing strip
poker
and it's getting colder and colder
everytime you lose

so go ahead
make your next bold move
tell us
what's the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself

When the union's inspiration through the working class will run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
For nothing can be weaker than the feeble force of one
But the union makes us strong

Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong

Tell me what we have in common with the greedy parasite
Who would lash us into serfdom and deny us every right
Till there's nothing more left to us but to stand up straight and fight
For the union makes us strong

Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn
But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn
We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn
That the union makes us strong

Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold
Greater than the might of atoms multiplied a hundred fold
We can build a world that's greater from the ashes of the old
For the union makes us strong


Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong
