GOD this is a good song. Was, Is, and Will Always Be!

My husband and I were thrilling to a rewatch of the election coverage just now and he started singing the lyrics to this. So I'm reading through DU and come upon - GEE! Guess what song! Played it and he and I sang along.

Shit - what a great song! I remember when it came out. Even at this late date, lo these many years later, I still get chills when I hear those opening notes.

...is one of those bands that never got full credit for their amazing work. You can hear much of their genies in the deep cuts from their albums. I often wonder what they would sound like today. This is a band that broke up way too soon.

To see the transformation. We felt the loss. We felt hopelessness and despair, then anger at the shit show administration. And now we channel that energy in a powerful force for change. The resistance is working.

Dems were convinced the country had forever turned a corner after Obama's blowout in 2008, only to get decimated two years later when he wasn't on the ballot.

People are voting against Trump. End of story.

make it bigger than Trump. Trump won't last forever but we have to show that we can still compete everywhere and win

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's s time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

we are taking out country back one step at a time. One election at a time.

I honestly thought that we had won the battles of equality long ago and were simply going through the motions of arriving there but now realize how wrong I was. We have a long way to go to get to the place we need and ought to be at.

People are hungry for an alternative to Trumpism and GOPism that isn’t totally owned by the legalized bribery industry called “lobbying.”

If we can consistently produce that - we win.
