Just for fun I would like to see what songs everyone feels has a coservative flavor.

From the top of me head.....
``Silent night, no cannons roar
A king is born of peace, forever more
Alls calm, alls bright, all brothers hand in hand
And they sung a song of peace on no man's land
''
I thought you'd like that.
Actually, just about anything by Rush. They've got a pretty strong libertarian bent in their writing. Red Barchetta is the perfect illustration of what life under Algore would be like.
My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about.
He says it used to be a farm,
Before the Motor Law.
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes,
And hop the turbine freight
To far outside the Wire,
Where my white-haired uncle waits.Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the Borderline.
Run like the wind,
As excitement shivers up and down my spine.
Down in his barn,
My uncle preserved for me an old machine,
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime...
Oh, no doubt. Just as Carroll O'Connor was mocking "middle Americans" with his portrayal of Archie Bunker. Newman's lyrics are no less enjoyable for that, however. Not much has changed in the 29 years (can it be that long?) since the song was recorded...
"They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now..."
Since I'm reading responses at random, this might be out of chron (but my guess is you won't care).
I suggest you listen to the ORIGINAL version (get Fully Loaded, which has the uncensored trannie-with-an-under-age-syringe version); have the barf bag ready, and take notes.
Report back, after hospital stay.
Oh, yeah. The guitars on the Animal "Sweet Jane" are--how shall I phrase it?--
Overwrought.
Incidentally, Let It Bleed was an answer to Let It Be, whatever the release dates of the albums. What else, a coincidence? I don't have my reference material handy, by you may recall that Let It Be was first a single and that this was the album, wasn't it, that was recorded earlier (before some other Beatle work) and released later. They were quite aware of each other's work and in light of that album release dates are irrelevant. Also, much of the Stones work up to that time was in response to the Beatles. This was more evident in England where this rivalry was very much up front. Where do you think Their Satanic Majesties concept came from?
The other half make me cringe. They are funny, though.
Good one! That's the one I was looking for! (Art Bell uses it for bumper music sometimes) DYK that Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (of Steely Dan) wrote the lyrics for that song?
Nightmare, the persecution
A child's dream of death.
Torment, ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest.
Guidance, it means nothing
In a world of brutal time.
Electric, circus, wild,
Deep in the infants mind.
Silent Scream
Bury the unwanted child.
Beaten and torn
Sacrifice the unborn.
Shattered, adolescent [sings: another child]
Bearer of no name.
Suffer the children condemned.
Scattered, remnants of life,
Murder a time to die.
Pain, sufferaged toyed,
Life's little fragments destroyed.
Silent Scream
Crucify the bastard son.
Beaten and torn
Sanctify lives of scorn.
Life preordained
Humanity maintained.
Extraction termination
Pain's agonizing stain.
Embryonic death
Embedded in your brain.
Suffocation, strangulation,
Death is fxxcking you insane.
Nightmare, the persecution
A child's dream of death.
Torment, ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest.
Innocence withdrawn in fear.
Fires burning can you hear
Cries in the night.
