Some days, I go dig through the vinyl archives and pull out an old favorite. I’m often amazed at how timeless some of the old protest rock lyrics are and remain to this day.
This is one of my all-time favorites which, when first heard at age 13, really brought the lyrics into personal focus at a time when my friends’ older brothers were not coming home from ‘Nam. In the years since, my friends have lost sons and daughters in other senseless wars and “terror events”.
It’s always a “WAR ON SOMETHING”, isn’t it? This time it’s different, the war is on us…
Steppenwolf – MONSTER
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
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And till 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
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
The Blue and Grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war was over
They stuffed it just like a hog
And though the past has its share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But its protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it’s a monster and will not obey
The spirit was freedom and justice
And its keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won’t pay it no mind
Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it’s all just an echo of what they’ve been told
Yeah, there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin’
The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin’ the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can’t understand
We don’t know how to mind our own business
‘Cause the whole world’s got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who’s the winner we can’t pay the cost
‘Cause there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin’
America, where are you now
Don’t you care about your sons and daughters
Don’t you know we need you now
We can’t fight alone against the monster
America, where are you now
Don’t you care about your sons and daughters
Don’t you know we need you now
We can’t fight alone against the monster
America…America…America…America…

Don’t tell anyone but, I went to the grocery store today without wearing a mask or gloves. Also, I don’t know what it is about doorknobs but, I had sex with a doorknob again.
My wife has been almost a frantic about this whole thing as Mygirl. Guess what? She said “fuck this”, I’m going to see the grandkids tomorrow.
Donkey, I go out all the time, no mask and no gloves. If you ever notice 99% of the BS sheep fall into, TPTB asked you to VOLUNTEER to do it. They implied you should volunteer to stay in. OTOH, some countries will shoot you dead.
I have an essential business. I would be out even if that was not the case.
Yep, if my wife is starting to buck the system, it can’t be long now.
Has anyone noticed that even the re-run channels are pulling out episodes of Gun Smoke, or Bonanza, where the theme for the episode is some disease like small pox or yellow fever.
when your TV is confirming reality, you know you are being played.
TBS has brought back “Last Ship” about a worldwide virus that has all but wiped out humanity.
Can’t forget War Pigs

Speaking of war, a good article right here:
Calls For Central Planning Amid COVID-19 Panic Are Like The Calls For The “War Socialism” Of Old
“While we bullied, stole and bought a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man”
Please, this tired worn out slaughtered the injun bullshit is old.
If us eurocrackers hadn’t done battle with them the injuns would have killed one another off in the end.
There is DNA evidence the injun is european.
If the kneegrow knew how much money injuns get, could we get them to live on reservations too? In Africa??
