This song captures the way I feel every day about this world. I think most regulars on TBP probably feel the same way. If blacks can have their own national anthem, then TBP can have one too.
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you
Yes I’m stuck in the middle with you
And I’m wondering what it is I should do
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah I’m all over the place
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
‘Cause I don’t think that I can take anymore

This should be the National Anthem of Texas:
Arabs to the left of me
Persians to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with Jews.
LOL
Beans to the left of me,
Nogs to the right,
Here I am…
You can always leave California, can’t you?
OMFG That’s hilarious
Not pissed off enough.
Might Auntie suggest something with a little more punch:
We are going to need it.
Hey Auntie,
I was just going to suggest that as well. There is a quite good cover of it by Assassin’s Creed that is worth TBP’s attention. However, they drop out one of the important verses for some reason.
I sometimes use Silent Running when I am amping up for one of my essays.

Here’s one for you while you’re out there under sail, Ray:
Hi C.O.,
Thanks. Was not aware of that track. BTW, when I was in my juggling days, I got to open for David Gilmour at a nice concert when he was touring after his first solo album. He was very pleasant and we all know how great his licks are.
Ray
Yeah, that used to be one of my favs. Still is, but not sure it gives me the emotional rush it used too back in the day. Yeah, still get a chill at least.
Can’t help but think of Madsen in Res Dogs every time the song plays.
I always think of you as “Maurice!”
The perfect choice!!! It’s already on my playlist.
That’s a classic that goes through my head a lot, too!
Won’t be much longer before this is our anthem.

“If you’re not turned on to politics, POLITICS WILL TURN ON YOU.”
Truer words have never been spoken.
“Turn on the radio. Nah, fuck, turn it off”
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a God
Watch people’s heads a’roll
A’roll
A’roll
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes
Explodes
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
The earth starts to rumble
The world powers fall
A warring for the Heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
A tall
A tall
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
You mean like the EITC that President Trump’s predecessor told all of the illegal invaders to file every year — not just the current year, but as many years back as they could?
More fake 1099’s and fake W2s sprung out of nowhere than anyone ever imagined.
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Exactly. And here is another example of either one. First it was “hope” the DOW will crash yet now taking credit for the upswing in the DOW. Clown, Joker , both only fitting but this cannot be real? SMDH
THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN, AND THAT WILL DRIVE THE MARKET UP.’
— Donald Trump, the former U.S. president
Former pres speak with forked tongue, ugh.
Then there’s this one … by The Rolling Stones …
Good one!
How ‘bout…
Respectfully would like to submit another one that fits here, too.
Was true 54 years ago in 1970 and is still pretty damn accurate.
One. Two. 1, 2, 3, 4! {one of the best bass intros of all time…}
People movin’ out, people movin’ in; Why? Because of the color of the skin.
Run, run, run, but you sure can’t hide.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Vote for me, and I’ll set you free!
Rap on, brother. Rap on.
Well, the only person talkin’ bout love my brother is the preacher.
And it seems,
Nobody is interested in learning but the teacher.
Segregation, Determination, Demonstration, Integration, Aggravation, Humiliation,
Obligation, to our nation.
Ball of confusion. Oh, that’s what the world is today, hey-hey.
The sale of pills are at an all time high.
Young folks walkin’ round with their heads in the sky.
Cities aflame in the Summertime.
And the beat goes on.
Air pollution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul.
Shootin’ rockets to the moon, kids growin’ up too soon.
And the politicians say: “More taxes will solve Everything!
And the band played on.
So, round, and around, and around we go.
Where the world’s headed, nobody knows.
Damn rules for jiggaboos, 🙂 now, Can’t ya hear me talkin’ to ya?
Ball of confusion.
Oh yeah.
That’s what the world is today.
Fear in the air. Tension everywhere.
Unemployment rising fast;
The Beatles’ new record’s a gas.
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation.
And the band played on.
Eve of destruction; tax deduction.
City inspectors, bill collectors,
Mod clothes in demand; Population out of hand.
Suicide. Too many bills. Hippies movin’ to the hills.
People all over the world, are shoutin: “End the Wars!”
And the band played on.
Great goog-a-chooguh, 🙂 Can’t you hear me talkin’ to ya?
It’s a Ball of Confusion. That’s what the world is today.
Lemme hear ya, lemme hear ya, let me hear.
It’s a Ball of Confusion.
That’s what the world is today.
I took some guesses on a few lyrics…imagine that 🙂
But, you oughtta give it up for the Temps.
PBWY’all.
Thanks, Suds. Takes me back to my college days.
thx for the nod, TenPat.

On second thought:
WHile Auntie personally prefers Disco Inferno by the Trammps, this TH stuff has unsettling imagery, lyrics and is just plain fucking weird and therefore appropriate.
Auntie,
excellent choices. I hated disco back in the day, being a bad ass’d (wanna be) rock and roller but, over the DECADES I’ve mellowed a bit and can suffer some ‘dance music’. Tramps is good, David Byrne is a whole other level of weird, good stuff!
I was thinking similar in both beat and mood;
” Nothing you can say takes me by surprise” I’m done being shocked and surprised by politics and goobermint!
You ROCK Auntie!
Peace, L.
Stealers Wheel, needs MoAr cow bell!
