Because I know we're all the same
Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills”

What is it good for
Absolutely nothing”

But your dreams may not”

Musical Worldview: Olivia Rodrigo, "hope ur ok"
“I knew a boy once, when I was small
A tow-head blond, with eyes of salt
He played the drum in the marching band
His parents cared more about the Bible
Than being good to their own child
He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad”
Musical Worldview: Burning Spear, 'Bad to Worse'

Give us all rights and justice, equality and love

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."
