Musical Worldview: Temple of the Dog: Hunger Strike
“I don't mind stealin' bread from the mouths of decadence”
Muscial Worldview: Odetta: Woke Up This Morning (With my Mind Stayed On Freedom)
“Woke up this morning with my mind stayed on freedom
I'm walking and talking with my mind stayed on freedom
Oh no there ain't no harm in keep'n' your mind stayed on”
Musical Worldview: Five Man Electrical Band, 'Signs'
“And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you
the
right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?”
“And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a
penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
Musical Worldview: Phil Cook, 'Another Mother’s Son
“Will We Find It?
Will We Find Another Way To Empathize?
Will We Open Up and See It Eye-To-Eye
Or Will We All Run Away?
And Another One Is Gone
Another Mother’s Son Is Gone Away
Police Man Let His Pistol Free
And the poet Ran To Write A Eulogy
Po’ Mama, All Her Cries Are Drowned By Sirens
Rifle Man Calls It "Liberty"
Preacher Trusts The Trinity
But Only Mama, She Holds All That Silence
You Can Find It
You Can Find It Anywhere Their Laughter Lives
Ain't It Sacred As A Prayer On Your Lips
Say No More, Say No More”
Musical Worldview: Tupac, 'Keep Ya Head Up'
“You know it's funny, when it rains it pours
They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor
Said it ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is
It ain't no hope for tha future
And then they wonder why we crazy”
Musical Worldview: One Eleven Heavy, "Geneva"
“There’s a time and place
For every kind of face
But times and places change”
