To What Are Yee Listenin' Right Now?


The government is your friend, you see, that's what I
have to say or they will bury me
Don't you try to criticize, don't you every try to talk
about their lies
I don't know what you've been told, but last time that
I checked
We had the right to say the things we mean, and
disagree, and not have to face the guillotine
If it's your head in the basket, then you picked the
wrong side of the revolution

The Patriot Act is the Riot Act with a "PAT"
What it really means is that they're watching you, and
that they're *really* watching me
And anyone who disagrees is sure to lose their
liberties
A patriot has got to keep his mouth shut
If it's your head in the basket, then you picked the
wrong side of the revolution

Our child king and his army wing are hellbent on the
conquest
Our enemies on bended knees will see it our way soon
The freedom that they steal from us, they try to export
overseas
And now our former enemies are free to live a life of
tyrrany the same as you and me

And it's a crime
To speak your mind
And it's a crime...
Don't say a word, cuz if you're heard
That blade is gonna fall

There's a place you ought to know, this shithole called
Guantanamo
Where the people who we cannot trust are safely kept
away from us
Well, we never have to worry if they're guilty or not,
because we stick them in a cell and they are soon
forgotten
And they're out of sight and out of mind and out of
luck
If it's your head in the basket, then you picked the
wrong side of the revolution

Before you choose a side to fight, forget about who's
wrong or right
If you like your neck, you best as heck start rooting
for the winner
This brave new world is knocking at your door, and you
better let it in
The constitution's evolution never made a contribution
to the revolutionary man

And it's a crime
To speak your mind
And it's a crime...
Don't say a word, cuz if you're heard
That blade is gonna fall

Nice.

There are 4 songs on here I am not familiar with.
This is very troubling to me.

So, if I had to guess, I can think of three that give you trouble..

Back street confidential, which is basically Beating around the Bush with different lyrics.

Dirty Eyes, which is Whole lotta Rosie, with different lyrics.

School days, which is on the TNT vinyl. Only released in Australia I believe.

I can't think of a fourth. Hummmm????

The live recordings at Atlantic are new to me, and they are awesome. My favorite part of this collection.

Right you are on the 3.
It was Rocker, didnt recognize it at first.
I had the International release Bon era studio vinyl records, some might have been cassettes.
Right, most of TNT is High Voltage and a couple of songs elsewhere I think.

I used to know what songs are on what albums very well - I expect the next track to play as one finishes.
I get confused though sometimes with If You Want Blood a compilation.

I recently got a lot of this burn to CD and want to study the ways of Malcolm; I havent actively listened to most of this since the mid 1980's.
