We anomalous voting patterns because people are f*cking weird. In this age of non-stop 24 hour news, add in choose your own person to deliver the news you want to hear, and this is where we’ve ended up.
I feel so old complaining about technology but I feel it’s presence it taking over some people’s lives. Technology that allows the Moral Majority to craft a version of religion to your preferences. Those on the Right also using technology to deliver their finely crafted messages.
This song still holds up, but I suggest we edit out “Young people speaking their minds” to us old fogeys who seen a thing or two.
There’s something happening here
But what it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh)
A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)
Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, “Hooray for our side” (Ooh ooh ooh)
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
You better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
You better stop
Now, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
You better stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
Sorry I’m grumpy, and it’s snowing, and people are weird when we have our first snow.
