Lyrics:

Would you look around you now
And tell me what you see
Faces full of hate and fear
Faces full of me
Do you feel the rumblings
As your head comes crumbling down
Do you know what I mean
Run, you better, run you know
The End is getting near
Feel the wind of something hard
Come whistling past your ear
As they try to get you
Where it will upset you
Down
Now you know what I mean
Someday you will see how long
We've waited for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all

Twist and turn your head around
'Till everything's unclear
Twist and turn your arm around
Until it is not there
And they'd love to burn you
Or at least to turn you around
Now you know what I mean
Can you look around you now
And tell us what's to be
Can you look inside yourself
And tell us what you see
As you feel the rumblings
As your head comes crumbling down
And you know what I mean
Someday you will see how long
We've been waiting for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all

9. The whole world IS watching.

Whether we have the courage and passion today is another question.

11. From The Song:

"Feel the wind of something hard
Come whistling past your ear..."



And:

"Someday you will see how long
We've waited for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all"

[WillyT]

12. And If You Didn't Get The Meaning Of That Last Lyric...

"Someday you will see how long
We've waited for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all"







Many of us, are VERY aware of the stakes.

10. We are not there yet and we can do better

We still have time to resolve this nominee election before the battle begins to destroy our chances of waging a proper G.E. war. 1968 was a completely different circumstance than today, despite the skeletal similarities.

We have two candidates so appealing that their supporters are willing to fight for them all the way to the convention. We fell into treasure and we are blinded by the light of our riches. This is a good thing.

Let's settle this like people ready to take the house, the senate and the executive and lead our country back to greatness.

[AZBlue]

13. I agree - and I so hope it is resolved civilly.

But, I will have to also say that should the need arise, I will take to the streets. I don't want to, but I will if I have to. I won't see yet another election stolen in this country.

[WillyT]

14. Me Too !!!

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas Jefferson

I'd rather just vote, but...

16. I Admit, I Was Getting Melancholy, But... This Did Happen...
