Musical Worldview: Bob Marley and the Wailers, "Guiltiness"
“Guiltiness (talking about guiltiness)
Pressed on their conscience, oh yeah, oh yeah
These are the big fish (these are the big fish)
Who always try to eat down the small fish
A just the small fish
And I tell you what (they would do anything)
To materialize their every wish
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
But woe, woe to the down pressers
They'll eat the bread of sorrow
Woe to the down pressers
They'll eat the bread of sad tomorrow
Woe to the down pressers
They'll eat the bread of sad tomorrow
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah”
Musical Worldview: Blue Scholars, "Fire for the People"
“Spark a fire for the cold in the dark
Peace and war, both pumpin' soul in my heart
And no they can't keep what they stole from the art
And they love to see beef cuz it throws us apart
More fire for the people (more fire for the people)
Say more jobs for the people (more jobs for the people)
And more books for the people (more books for the people)
More clothes for the people (more clothes for the people)
More schools for the people (more schools for the people)
More land for the people (more land for the people)
More life for the people (and more life for the people)”

Musical Worldview: Seryn, 'Mausoleum'
“Finally made it across
Without a clue where I am
With all of the holes in my pockets
Maybe I still have a chance
When the sun sets a little bit sooner
My appetite grows pretty thin
And you seem a little bit further
From the last place I've been
Oh
I don't have forever
You know I need that loan
All these years,
Wasted on the run
Oh we know you've got the soul my brother
Why you trying to hide?
And the heart is a beast that'll keep you bleeding,
Learn to let it lie
In the walls of the mausoleum
In the walls of the mausoleum
And we're all just trying to reach the other side
And the kids seem to grow so much faster
The older and older I get
But time is a clever invention
We are helplessly participant”
Musical Worldview: Karen O and the Kids, "All Is Love"

All is Love, is love, is love, is love
Hey, ooh"

Love thy brother than thyself and
Everything will be made possible to you

And all he asked
Of men and men and men and men
Is that we give each other love”

Come out the tunnel to the light saying”

Well I know all of his deputies
I'm well acquainted with them”

Doing what we feel for the music is the proof and
Planted on the ground, the act is so together
Bonafied strong, you need leverage to sever”
Musical Worldview: Massive Attack, "Teardrop"
“Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word”
