Hello and welcome to F.R. doubt you'll stay for long.
Heh?
What's that?
Hmm. Catchy as hell, huh? If only you could hear the music. Think of the tune for "O Christmas Tree"
?
Okay.
Welcome to my ping list.
Didn't we do this dance already? He's back?
Heard it online. I was reading some song lyrics from labour movements and this one stood out.
By the way, this is kind of unrelated, but if you ever get the chance to hear some U. Utah Phillips I highly recommend it. Pete Seeger kicks ass as well.
Yuppers.
He's back.
I didn't think I left.
I'm just sharing my love of folk music today.
Auditioning?
Whatcha got, Darks?
This one's good too:
WE HAVE FED YOU ALL FOR A THOUSAND YEARS
We have fed you all for a thousand years
And you hail us still unfed
Though there's never a dollar of all your wealth
But marks the workers dead
We have yielded our best to give you rest
And you lie on crimson wool
But if blood be the price of all your wealth
Good God we have paid in full
There is never a mine blown skyward now
But we're buried alive for you
There's never a wreck drifts shoreward now
But we are its ghastly crew
Go reckon our dead by the forges red
And the factories where we spin
If blood be the price of your cursed wealth
Good God we have paid it in
We have fed you all for a thousand years
For that was our doom, you know
From the days when you chained us in your fields
To the strike a week ago
You have taken our lives, and our babies and wives
And we're told it's your legal share
But if blood be the price of your lawful wealth
Good God we bought it fair.
Auditioning? Yeah, sure. You think American Idol would pass me?
They left out Berkeley and 'Frisco...
I prefer this one:
Nightwish - Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan
Kerran vain haaveeni nähdä sain
En pienuutta alla tähtien tuntenut
Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit
Vankina sieltä kirjettä kirjoitan
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
Sinussa maailman kauneus
Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan
Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee
Oman taivaan tänne loin
Anna minun päästä pois

Berkeley and Frisco? Why would they be in there?
What language is that?
You should hear the REAL lyrics...
"The working class can kiss my *ss, I've got the foreman's job at last!
We'll feed the rich, we'll starve the poor, we'll make the working girl a whore!"
Same tune, different union.
Ahhhhh, you socialist delusionaries.....
