First Against The Wall

The midterm elections are over for the most part. One more senate seat to be decided and then be prepared for the recount backlash. Last night I was flipping through channels and saw a news update. The American people sent George bush a very loud message and the democrats had taken the House Of Representatives. I watched CNN for a couple hours but I gave up after the same numbers came scrolling across the screen and I couldn't be bothered. Plus the live "Midterm Midtacular" was on. This morning I woke to the shocking news that old Rumsfeld was resigning.

Yesterday had Barry Maguires' anti-war anthem "Eve Of Destruction" stuck in my head all day. Today I can't escape Matthew Goods' "If I Was A Tidal Wave". Check it out and fall in love.

If I Was A Tidal Wave- Lyrics By Matthew Good

'The Saudis are ever our friends and our allies
The President smokes cigars with their Princes on his lanai
And across the street a mother sleeps with her babys ghost
Wrapped in pink and spotlights

If I was a tidal wave well you know that Id
Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry
Disappear you down this trail of busted years to ride the rails and goodbyes
Well my name is propaganda
And my mamas pain is propaganda
If I was a tidal wave
Id let the Union fall
Ya if I was a tidal wave
Id be first against the wall

Back in 1980 Mayor Young he sent the key
To the city of Detroit to praise the best of enemies
Who shook hands with devil, now he runs the DOD
And spends lives

If I was a tidal wave well you know that Id
Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry
Disappear you down this trail of busted years to ride the rails and goodbyes
If I was a tidal wave
From coast to coast Id scream
If I was a tidal wave
Id wash this whole place clean'



And whattya know, the people finally screamed.
