List five songs that you are currently digging... It doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words or even if they're any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your five songs. Then tag five other people to see what they're listening to.
1. The Firebird Band "Art" - "I miss all my old friends as they were before / I miss all the cities as they were before"
2. The Alkaline Trio "Mercy Me" - "I used to long for broken bones / I used to long for a casket to call my own"
3. Phil Ochs "The Cannons of Christianity" - "Oh the children will be sent to schools / Minds of clay are molded to their rules / Learn to fear all of eternity / Warn the cannons of Christianity"
4. Phil Ochs "Cops of the World" - "We'll spit through the streets of the cities we wreck / We'll find you a leader that you can't elect / Those treaties we signed were a pain in the neck / Cuz we're the Cops of the World, boys / We're the Cops of the World"
5. Phil Ochs "I Ain't Marching Anymore" - "It's always the old to lead us to the war / It's always the young to fall / Now look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun / Tell me is it worth it all"
And why not, more Phil Ochs' lyrics from the last song mentioned above:
"Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants,
United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore,
Call it Peace or call it Treason
Call it Love or call it Reason
But I ain't marchin' any more."
