If you could sneak into the RNC and secretly splice one song into
Edited on Tue Aug-24-04 07:59 AM by Ruffhowse
their ambient music roster, what would you add? Here are a few I would love to have play to all the repugs.

If You Go to San Francisco
Imagine
All You Need is Love
Give Peace a Chance

With any luck, maybe it would drive em crazy. :evilgrin:
Or hope of hopes, convert a few.

Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore by John Prine

That one song says it all... that is all the Republican Party Platform Portrays that appeals to everyone.... red white and blue and the American Flag... unfortunately they open there mouths and spew crap all over the flag that they pretend to love so much.

9. If Bush Only Had A Brain! (Sing to If I Only Had A Brain)
IF BUSH ONLY HAD A BRAIN
Words by Dems Will Win

WITH THE RICH, BUSH PLAYS CUPID
IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID, ONLY MILLIONAIRES DO GAIN!
WE’D BE HAPPY, WE’D BE MERRY,
AND WE WOULDN’T NEED JOHN KERRY
IF BUSH ONLY HAD A BRAIN!

ONE QUESTION BUSH HAS BURNING
IS OUR CHILDREN LEARNING? GOOD SCHOOLS WE MUST MAINTAIN!
THEN HE ROBS THE KIDS BLIND
LEAVES NO BILLIONAIRE BEHIND
IF BUSH ONLY HAD A BRAIN

WELL THE SURPLUS IS ALL GONE
THE LOCKBOX PICKED HANDILY
AND BUSH IS WORKING HARD
TO PUT FOOD--ON THE FAMILY!

DON’T MISUNDERESTIMATE HIM
HE’S GOT HIS ULTIMATUM!
THOUGH HE CAN’T NAME THE HEAD OF SPAIN!
IN THIS WAR WE MUST MAKE CERTAIN
THE WORLD IS SAFE FOR HALLIBURTON
IF BUSH ONLY HAD A BRAIN

HE’LL START THE DRAFT, YOU’LL FACE INDUCTION
TO FIND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION,
FROM EGYPT TO BAHRAIN!
HE’LL SEARCH EVERY SAND OR SOIL
AS LONG AS IT BEARS OIL
IF BUSH ONLY HAD A BRAIN

OH BUSH COULD TELL YOU WHY
THE PIE GROWS HIGH, UP TO THE SKY
BUT NOW OUR FAMILIES CAN’T SURVIVE,
CAUSE BUSH THINKS TWO PLUS TWO IS FIVE!

(slow) THE TERROR PLANES, THERE WAS NO STOPPIN’
CAUSE BUSH KEPT PHOTO-OPPIN’—HE NEVER FELT YOUR PAIN!
WELL LIFE WOULD BE A DING-A-DERRY!
AND WE WOULDN’T NEED JOHN KERRY!
IF BUSH ONLY HAD A BRAIN!

30. "God And Country" by Blue Rodeo. Check this out...
Has Bush written all over it:

God And Country

Forever lost in comparisons
Between you and the better man
Yea you're always so quick
To take a bow
I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy
And your postcard sincerity
Don't you ever get tired
Of being yourself

It's getting so hard to find you
As you fade into your world of reprisal
As you slip into the comfort
Of your denial
Your patriotic smile
Your go down in style

And you say that you're not to blame
Yea you're proud of what you did
And you'd do it again
All in the name of God and country
But that's too bad about the little snag
Cause getting caught is such a drag
Even in the name of God and country

Still you're all the same to me
You're just trying to make points on national t.v.
Yea you try to make points for God
God and country
You call this justice
I call this self-service

Solo

And I hope that I never find
What you call good conscience
Or peace of mind
As another man dies for God and country
Cause I'm sure while you're sitting there talking
That the bombs are falling
All in the name
All in the name
All in the name of God and country

33. "The Hell of It" - Paul Williams - Phantom of the Paradise Sountrack..
Roll on thunder, shine on lightnin'
the days are long and the nights are frightnin'
Nothing matters anyway and that's the hell of it
Winter comes and the winds blow colder
well some grew wiser you just grew older
And you never listened anyway and that's the hell of it

Good for nothin'
bad in bed
nobody likes you
you're better off dead (goodbye)
We've all come to say goodbye (goodbye)
Born defeated
died in vain
Super destruction you were hooked on pain
and tho' your music lingers on
All of us are glad you're gone
If I could live my life half as worthlessly as you
I'm convinced that I'd wind up burning too

Love yourself as you love no other
be no man's fool be no man's brother
We're all born to die alone y'know that's the hell of it
Life's a game where they're bound to beat you
time's a trick they can turn to cheat you
And we only waste it anyway and that's the hell of it

Good for nothin'
bad in bed
nobody likes you
you're better off dead (goodbye)
We've all come to say goodbye (goodbye)
Born defeated
died in vain
Super destruction you were hooked on pain
tho' your music lingers on
All of us are glad you're gone

39. Dubya by Citizen Truth
http://www.citizentruth.com/

If you've never heard it, you have to check it out!

Now bush is back and was stacked for attack on Iraq,
but it's a fact Bush can't find Iraq on a map.
but we warred without facts and slashed the tax
while the economy longs to be back in the black
that's fuckin whacked, but ho hum, the damage is done
now nine one one's prodigal son is comin with guns
and they're cocked and locked, he won't stop he won't cease
he doesn't give a fuck about peace in the middle east
and American's arrogance rises while he lies to us
rest of the world's rules--they don't apply to us
the point you're missin, now listen up mr president
you're droppin bombs when you should be droppin medicine
don't act all innocent-it's fuckin tyrranous
hey DUBYA are you hearin us?


DUBYA--no more, no more, no more
DUBYA we don't want your fuckin wars
DUBYA--no more, no more, no more
DUBYA we don't want your fuckin wars

Liberal media? Don't make me laugh.
Objective journalism's getting the shaft.
Since when did gettin a blow job, compare to the snow job
of lies and more lies that you're tellin in your job
like you're G.I. Joe but at the end of the day
our troops are dyin while you're cuttin their pay
And where were you in 1972?
AWOL, by all accounts from your crew.
And now you say that you're cuttin our taxes
fact is you're separatin the classes
your cabinet relaxes while the poor get drafted
the states get shafted while your plans are crafted.
and fifty percent goes for war and defense
hence the sense the economy's tense
but you're too dense to sense that the rents are due
you're a joke the budget's broke and jobs are few
but hear me now cause my words are true
got no love for ya DUBYA and your days are through



Mission accomplished? You must be nuts
You got guts struttin your stuff and sayin you're tough
cause with each blast one last cast for peace sneaks past
we're sinking faster and faster it's fucking disaster
think one-fifth of the world wants to call us master?
fuck that, they're gonna be pissed
each orphaned child grows up to be another terrorist
and while your tanks are rumblin city schools are crumblin
and you're still stumblin over W.M.D. (weapons of mass destruction)
was it 83' Hussein got arms for free?
Did we forget who let Al Qaeda make this terrorist mess?
shootin our troops with weapons "made in the U.S."
Now kids get killed while we drill, Cheney's wallet gets filled
more blood gets spilled while we're thrilled to swallow this pill
but still, G-Dub chills up on Capitol Hill
You want "Shock and Awe?"
Wait til' we get the bill.

BOOM - there gose grandmas healthcare
BOOM - NY victims got no welfare
BOOM - got to protect the nation
BOOM - no cash for education
BOOM - tax cuts for our enjoyment
BOOM - more rising unemployment
BOOM - there go our fiends and allies
BOOM - now the bill of rights dies

For now the press is afraid to snub ya
but someday history will judge ya, Dubya

45. One of those viciously racist country&western songs from the '60s
Not a generic country song, but something overtly racist like "Nigger Hatin' Me" or "Move Them Niggers North" (both from the singer known as "Johnny Rebel").

Now that would cause major problems for the Republicans, especially if the media caught any of the delegates tapping their toes (or singing along!) to these deceptively cheerful tunes.

48. Your Flag Decal (Won't Get You into Heaven) - Merle Haggard
This gem is from back when CW was still anti-establishment...

Your Flag Decal (Won't Get You into Heaven) - Merle Haggard

Well while digesting Reader's Digest
In the back of a dirty book store,
A flag decal, with gum on the back,
Fell out on the floor.
So I picked it up and I ran outside
And I slapped on my windowshield,
And if I could see old Betsy Ross now
I tell her how good I feel.

Oh but your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little wars.
Now Jesus he don't like killin'
No matter what the reason is for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.


(Well) I went into the bank this morning
and the teller she said to me,
"If you join our Chrismas club
we'll give you ten of those flags for free."
So I didn't mess around a bit
and I took her up on what she said.
And I stuck those stickers
all over my car And one on my wife's forehead.

Chorus
Oh but your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little wars.
Now Jesus he don't like killin'
No matter what the reason is for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.

(Well) I got my car so stickered up
That I couldn't see.
Then I ran it right upside a curb
And then right into a tree.
By the time they called a doctor down
I was already dead.
And I'll never understand why the man
Standing at the Pearly Gates said...

Oh but your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
We're already overcrowded
From your dirty little wars.
Now Jesus he don't like killin'
No matter what the reason is for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.

50. This one isn't subtle at all
and I'd hardly call it "ambient," but it sure as hell will make an impression:

Kane & Able
"Black Jesus"

Master P)
-Like 2Pac said, only God can judge me
-But I think only black Jesus can help me

Verse 1 (Kane)

Six in the morning and I see the sunrise
Wish I died in my sleep didn't want to open my eyes
To see this world so fucked up for me
And my family, worked so hard but can earn a decent salary,
these bills keep whooping a nigga ass
Spent my whole check trying to dress with class
I found myself having to smoke weed just to chill
Both my parents got killed and I ain't cried still
All my niggas getting shot, peoples mama's smoking rock
And who the hell can stop these fucked up cops
They like to oversee us and we like the slave bitches
Offer pussy to a nigga even though they got AIDS
You jumping in that pussy that n you diving in the grave
White man build the prison and the niggas come through
Like the motherfuckers giving out free barbeque
Lock a nigga up for life and say fuck you
Most of ya'll ain't make it pass the 12th grade
That's why you making minimum wage or slanging rocks for chump change
Alot of people died for the right to vote
We don't use white devils taking nigga land and missuse it
On top of that I think my uncle on crack
My boy Quay Shaun took a slug in his back
>From another black now he in the coma trying to make it back
Come on come on
My old lady think she pregnant I ain't got no cash for her
She probably fucking another nigga I wouldn't put it past her
My mind got me murderous like John Doe
Bitch ass niggas trying to play me like a hoe
And now I'm rolling round sucking on a steel dick
Bout to pull the trigger end it cause I'm tired of this bullshit
Know what I'm saying grown men don't cry
But the ghetto got me wheeping like a bitch I'm gone die on my knees

(Chorus)

Black Jesus tell me why this world so fucked up
Allah, tell me why this world so fucked up
Black Jesus tell me why this world so fucked up for me
For me a nigga

Verse 2 (Abel)

They say that I was dealt some bad cards in this game of life
But before I take my trip I'm gone leave with them stripes
Sending dime bags of weed, toting nines til nose bleeds
My nerve so bad I had to pop one of those b's
I had to strap my jimmy hat or catch this double mint disease
See the devil in a crack pipe pointing at me
I seen a nigga shaking just lke he caught the holy ghost
But he really scored a gram of heroin for 80 bones
I got them stones, if you take a hit you can't resist
Now I'm crying, I think one of my brothers on that shit
Do you care if you live or die, really I don't know
But if there's hell below I think we all gonna go

(Chorus)

Verse 3 (Master P)

Tell me is this heaven, is this hell
I ain't LL, but all I hear is funeral bells
The ghetto's trying to kill me, a born loser
A born hustler my uncle's a drug user
I'm from the projects or should I say the 3rd Ward
Where fools into killing and fiends walk like androids
Hooked up with the twins or should I say Kane & Abel
Trying to keep some change in my pockets, some food on my table

Verse 4 (Silkk)

You know what P your right
Cause Silkk was on the block like last night
Niggaz doing anything from selling drugs
to sell mugs smoking that glass pipe
I'm from a messed up city where niggas don't live long
they parents out-live they kids
Rest in peace to my homie they like split his wig
Now who won't walk that last mile to they death
Imaging taking a deep (inhales) that was your last breath
Just imaging your mom was prostituting your mom was smoking
Imagine your eyes don't close imagine your eyes don't open
I be like trying to keep the world and stay TRU
There's too much drama in my hood, gotta stay cool

Verse 5 (Master P)

As I lay me down to sleep
Black Jesus if you real, take me out this ghetto g
Cause its crazy its wicked
I got niggaz on every block trying to get a meal, ticket
They killing they murder
Little kids in 3 inch girdles
And life is just like Pac Man
Niggaz gumping up niggas but who gone be the next man
To lose his shoes, I mean lose his life
Who gone think twice, dying in this ghetto life
Cause in the White House, politicians run the country
But where I'm from in the ghetto's its bout drug money
Ice cream slanging
Niggas banging red and blue everybody's hanging
Niggas bout it, little kids get rowdy
But will I make it out this ghetto, I doubt it

(Kane & Abel talking)

I think the devil trying to get me to sell my soul
He keep on walking with me, he keep on talking with me
I think the devil's trying to get me to sell my soul
He trying to temp me with the bitches and money

Black Jesus black jesus if you feel me
Than save me and my ghetto people
