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 :: the Samples, "Carry On"
“Trusting is one thing I don't know
When it comes to the campaigning men
But I'll meet you at the election
When I vote for the hope of this land
Carry on
Carry on
Just take a good look around you
The ghettos begin at your feet
And there's a family of six through a window
Looking way down at you on the street
Carry on
Carry on
Send us in any direction
Airports, buses and cabs
But somehow through all this confusion
We lose things that we've never had
Carry on
Carry on
A funeral was held in the winter
The old lady pull from her purse
A thoughand tears on a napkin
While waving away at the hearse
Carry on
Carry on
Trusting is one thing I don't know
When it comes to the campaigning men
But I'll meet you at the election
When I vote for the hope of this land
Carry on
Carry on”
Musical Worldview: Lou Barlow, "All You People Suck"
“All you people suck
You're the ones that don't believe
That we're all connected
Let the final point repeat”
Musical Worldview: Church Of The Cosmic Skull, "Everybody's Going to Die"
“Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Slipping away into the night
But we're feeling alright
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Everybody loses the fight
But we're feeling alright
Some of us believe that we will live forever
Some of us believe that we return
Some of us will go when we are all together
Some of us will go when we're alone
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Slipping away into the night
But we're feeling alright
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Everybody loses the fight
But we're feeling alright
Some of us will live like there is no tomorrow
Some of us will fight until the end
Some of us will struggle through the pain and sorrow
Some of us will choose to make it stop
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Slipping away into the night
But we're feeling alright
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Everybody loses the fight
But we're feeling alright
Some of us are taken long before we should be
Some of us will go before we're born
Some of us will do the things we want to do here
Some of us will not
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Slipping away into the night
But we're feeling alright
Everybody's going to die
Everybody
Everybody loses the fight
But we're feeling alright”

Musical Worldview: Rikki Ililonga, "My Destiny"
“I know my destiny
so I”m free, my mind is clear
so take this love that I give
because I won’t be around for too long . . .
Darkness is the brother of Light
Awareness comes after a fight
The Truth of life is a mystery
but happiness is a love supreme
Let’s share what life has to give
Let’s love without any regrets . . .”
Musical Worldview: Yo La Tengo, "Until It Happens"
“Prepare to die
Prepare yourself while there's still time
It's simple to do
And then it happens to you”
Musical Worldview: the Beach Boys, "I Know There's An Answer"
“I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zones
Now what can you tell them
And what can you say that won't make them defensive
I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself
They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through their day
And waste all their thoughts at night
Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better
I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself”
Musical Worldview: Church of the Cosmic Skull, "Revolution Comes With An Act of Love"
“Revolution comes with an act of love
Listen closely now to the sound of the turtle dove
Wings are broken but she sings her song
And all we've got to do is sing along”

Musical Worldview: Fugazi, "Merchandise"
When we have nothing left to give
There will be no reason for us to live
But when we have nothing left to lose
You will have nothing left to use
We owe you nothing
You have no control
We owe you nothing
You have no control
Merchandise, it keeps us in line
Common sense says it's by design
What could a businessman ever want more
Than to have us sucking in his store
We owe you nothing
You have no control
We owe you nothing
You have no control
You are not what you own
You are not what you own
You are not what you own
You are not what you own
We owe you nothing
You have no control
We owe you nothing (nothing)
You have no control
We owe you nothing (nothing)
You have no control

Questions forge into a spear”

Musical Worldview: Wonderful World, Beautiful People by Jimmy Cliff
“Take a look at the world
And the state that it's in today
I am sure you'll agree
We all could make it a better way
With our love put together
Everybody learn to love each other
Instead of fussing and fighting
Cheating but biting
Scandalizing and hating
Baby, we could have a wonderful world, beautiful people”
Musical Worldview: Caamp, "Wunderbar"
Musical Worldview: Akron/Family, "There's So Many Colors"
