Speaking of jazz: The most timeless lyrics I've ever seen, from 40 years or so ago:

[Redstone]

From the live version on Les McCann and Eddie Harris performing "Compared to What?"

The President, he's got his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
Nobody gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt, they call it treason
We're chicken-feathers all, without one gut
God damn it!
Tryin' to make it real — compared to what?

I've listened to that song a thousand times, and will never get tired of hearing it.

Redstone

[Shakespeare]

1. OMFG--that is one of my most favorite jazz albums EVER.

And "Compared to What" is just absolutely blisteringly hot. Freaking awesome album.
