The lyrics below are from a song by the Quicksilver Messenger Service circa 1970. Clearly, they could have been written today. It’s titled “What You Gonna Do About Me? Check out the recording, whether you’ve heard it before or not. It’ll stick in your head–for better or worse–for awhile.
You poisoned my sweet water
You cut down my green trees
The food you fed my children
was the cause of their disease.
My world is slowly fallin down
and the air’s not too good to breathe
And those of us who care enough
have to do something, no time for ease
Your newspapers they
just put you on
they never tell you
the whole story
They just put your
young ideas down
I was wondering if this could be
the end of your pride and glory
I work in your factories
I study in your schools
I fill your penitentiaries
and your military too
I feel the world is trembling
as the word is passed around
“If you stand up for what you believe,
be prepared to be shot down”.
And I feel like a stranger
in the land where I was born
and I live like an outlaw
always on the run
And I’m always getting busted
and I got to take a stand
I believe the revolution
must be mighty close at hand
I smoke marijuana
but I can’t get behind your wars
and most of what I believe in
is against most of your laws
I’m a fugitive from injustice
but I’m going to be free
because your rules and regulations
they don’t do the thing for me
Oh oh, what you gonna
do about me?
“As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!),” he wrote.
The Orange Swamp Monster, ‘in my great and unmatched wisdom” is destroying our environment [corporations need money], destroying our place in the world [who needs allies?], destroying our government [appoints loyal unfit people], destroying faith in the media [Fox is the ONLY media to trust], believes he is above the law [why not bribe other countries to undermine political opponents?] while creating a cult for whom their ‘great master’ can do no wrong.
Hope it doesn’t come to this, but Trump will not go easily out of the WH.
