Turn Around


Last night I joined some of my generation in a celebration of our common punk heritage. We were of mixed descent and socio-economic class (mostly Caucasion, Hispanic, and Native American) and I must say that we looked worn with our 50 some years...

Mike Ness and Social Distortion delivered our catharsis with this song in particular, whose lyrics I've posted below




 



Children are taught to hate, parents just couldn't wait 

Some are rich and some are poor, others will just suffer more 

Have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to keep you down? 

I begin to watch things change and see them turn around Turn around, they'll try to keep you down Turn around, Turn around Don't drag me down 

Ignorance like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land 

Your history books are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes 

Have you ever been afraid, and felt society try to keep you down? 

I begin to watch things change see them turn around chorus: 

Ignorance like a gun in hand reach out to the promised land 

Your history books are full of lies, media -blitz gonna dry your eyes 

You're eighteen wanna be a man Your granddaddy's in the Ku Klux Klan 

Taking two steps forward and four steps back Gonna go to the White House and paint it black 

Turn around, they'll try to keep you down Turn around, Turn around Don't drag me down...

  2. As an aside note. Murica is a corrupt pile of crap. It is run by insider politics and spooks. The recent Bob woodward book, is an example.

    Bob woodward began his career as an intelligence officer. Never gave it up. Covered for dick cheney, in the valery plame investigation .

    Like most sensationalism in corporate murica, many things woodward said have truth. You get to the part, where woodward says assad wanted to use serin gas. You realize woodward, is on the same team of the trump status quo and the hilcrat status quo.

    Jesus what an evil shit bob woodward is.To all of those who think trump or any coporate democrat is not part of it Please just stop

  5. Excellent moment for catharsis! I'll never forget my brother's head banger invite once, I appreciated but bowed out soon in "the pit" - energy was good, but, thankfully I found more peace elsewhere. Though, I do like to hear Frying Dutchman: humanERROR (subs multilingual, check your language) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DmQbWzOLsM
