1. Happy Days Are Here Again

So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last

Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again

Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again

Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on ...

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So, Let's sing a song of cheer again

Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!
Ringo

4. "My Hero"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=7PjbUKcAG68&mode=related&search=foo%20fighter

Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
Hes ordinary

Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one thats on

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

14. AND : No Way Back (written after a Kerry Rally in '04)

Lately, I've been
Livin' in my head
The rest of me is dead,
I'm dying for truth.

Make me, believe,
No more left and right,
Come on take my side,
I'm fightin' for you,
I'm fightin' for you.

Pleased to meet you
Take my hand,
There is no way back from here,
Pleased to meet you
Say your prayers,
There is no way back from here,
But I don't care,
No way back from here!

Wake me, I'm ready,
Somethin' don't seem right,
I was dreamin',
I was talkin' to you,

Memory, mend me,
Ya know I've seen my share,
Of things I can't repair,
I'm breakin' to you,
I'm breakin' to you.

Pleased to meet you
Take my hand,
There is no way back from here,
Pleased to meet you
Say your prayers,
There is no way back from here,
But I don't care,
No way back from...

Here.

5. 'Democracy' - Leonard Cohen

It's coming through a hole in the air,
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It's coming from the feel
that this ain't exactly real,
or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
From the wars against disorder,
from the sirens night and day,
from the fires of the homeless,
from the ashes of the gay:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming through a crack in the wall;
on a visionary flood of alcohol;
from the staggering account
of the Sermon on the Mount
which I don't pretend to understand at all.
It's coming from the silence
on the dock of the bay,
from the brave, the bold, the battered
heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the sorrow in the street,
the holy places where the races meet;
from the homicidal bitchin'
that goes down in every kitchen
to determine who will serve and who will eat.
From the wells of disappointment
where the women kneel to pray
for the grace of God in the desert here
and the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State!
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

It's coming to America first,
the cradle of the best and of the worst.
It's here they got the range
and the machinery for change
and it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's here the family's broken
and it's here the lonely say
that the heart has got to open
in a fundamental way:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the women and the men.
O baby, we'll be making love again.
We'll be going down so deep
the river's going to weep,
and the mountain's going to shout Amen!
It's coming like the tidal flood
beneath the lunar sway,
imperial, mysterious,
in amorous array:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on ...

I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

8. Perfect Day -- Lou Reed

Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.

Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It's such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.

Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow...

[Clinton Crusader]

9. Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow...

[Chipper Chat]

11. Hey freepers: I'll use one of your Bible songs:

The "old negro spiritual" Martin Luther King referred to in his famous speech is "Free At Last."

Free At Last
Free at last, free at last,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last.

The very time I thought I was lost,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last;
My dungeon shook and my chains fell off,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last,
This is religion, I do know,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last;
For I never felt such a love before,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last.
:kick: :kick: :kick:

16. Don't forget "Oh! Happy Day!"

[Chipper Chat]

21. Yessss Lawd - and how 'bout this one for the Republicans:

No Hiding Place Down There


There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here
Oh I ran to the rock to hide my face
The rock cried out, ""No hiding place""
No hiding place down here.

The rock cried out, ""I'm burning, too."" <2x>
Oh the rock cried out, ""I'm burning, too
I want to go to Heaven the same as you.""
There's no hiding place down here.

Sinner man he stumbled and he fell <2x>
Oh, the sinner man stumbled and he fell
Wanted to go to Heaven but he had to go to ... Well,
There's no hiding place down here.
:woohoo: :applause:

[RevolutionStartsNow]

12. Today's song is by the Eels

Mr E's Beautiful Blues:

The smokestack is spitting black soot into the sunny sky
The load on the road brings a tear to the indians eye
The elephant wont forget what its like inside his cage
The ringmasters telecaster sings on an empty stage

God damn right its a beautiful day ahah
God damn right its a beautiful day ahah

The girl with the curls and the sweet big ribbon in her hair
Shes crawled out the window cause her daddy just dont care
(come on!)

God damn right its a beautiful day ahah
God damn right its a beautiful day ahah

The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair
Finger on the trigger I tell you he is quite a scare

God damn right its a beautiful day ahah
God damn right its a beautiful day ahah

The kids fit their lids when their heads hear that crazy sound
Their neighbour digs the flavour still hes moving to another town
(and I dont believe hell come back)

God damn right its a beautiful day ahah
God damn right its a beautiful day ahah

And I dont know how youre taking all the shit you see
You dont believe anyone but most of all openly agree

God damn right its a beautiful day ahah
God damn right its a beautiful day ahah

17. The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie

Do ya?

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

19. In honor of John Hall's victory in NY-19th CD - "Power"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuquoa56o4o

"POWER"

(John and Johanna Hall)

(Chorus)
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power away.

Everybody needs some power I'm told
To shield them from the darkness and the cold
Some may see a way to take control when it's bought and sold.

I know that lives are at stake
Yours and mine and our descendants in time.
There's so much to gain, so much to lose
Everyone of us has to choose.

(Chorus)

We are only now beginning to see
How delicate the balance of nature can be
The limits of her ways have been defined
and we've crossed that line.

Some don't even care or know that we'll pay
But we have seen the face of death in our day.
There's so little time to change our ways
If only we together can say

(Chorus)

All of your atomic poison power
All of your atomic poison power
Away.

:kick::kick::kick:

Congratulations, John Hall!!

20. A Beautiful Morning

It's a beautiful morning
I think I'll go outside for a while
And just smile

Just diggin' some clean fresh air for
No sense in stayin' inside
If the weather's fine and you've got the time
It's your chance to wake up and plan
Another brand new day -- lead the way

It's a beautiful morning
Each bird keeps singin' his own song (so long)
I've got to be on my way now
No fun just hangin' around
I've got to cover ground
You couldn't keep me down
It just ain't no good if the sun shines
And you're still inside -- shouldn't hide

There will be children with robins and flowers
Sunshine caresses each new waking hour

Seems to me that people keep seein'
More and more each day
Gotta say, lead the way, it's OK
Every day you got to say it's OK

It's a beautiful morning

26. Todd Rundgren/Utopia - "Just One Victory" (YouTube link and lyrics inside)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=P3AtGk1jdhI

We've been waiting so long,
we've been waiting for the sun to rise and shine
Shining still to give us the will

Can you hear me, the sound of my voice?
I am here to tell you I have made my choice
I've been listening to what's been going down
There's just too much talk and gossip going 'round

You may think that I'm a fool, but I know the answer
Words become a tool, anyone can use them
Take the golden rule, as the best example
Eyes that have seen will know what I mean

The time has come to take the bull by the horns
We've been so downhearted, we've been so forlorn
We get weak and we want to give in
But we still need each other if we want to win

(Simultaneously with above lyrics)
Hold that line, baby hold that line
Get up boys and hit 'em one more time
We may be losing now but we can't stop trying
So hold that line, baby hold that line

If you don't know what to do about a world of trouble
You can pull it through if you need to and if
You believe it's true, it will surely happen
Shining still, to give us the will
Bright as the day, to show us the way

Somehow, someday,
we need just one victory and we're on our way
Prayin' for it all day and fightin' for it all night
Give us just one victory, it will be all right

We may feel about to fall but we go down fighting
You will hear the call if you only listen
Underneath it all we are here together shining still

[orleans]

32. oh god, thanks for posting this. i thought this should have been

our theme song in 2004 before the election...

and now, hearing it....i started crying.

a lot of emotion pent up since yesterday/last night/today.....the last six years--even the last 12 years.

a sense of relief
and sorrow for having suffered (waited) so long....

thanks.

27. It could Be a Wonderful World (Hy Zaret & Lou Singer)

If we could consider each other
a neighbor, a friend, or a brother
It could be a wonderful, wonderful world
It could be a wonderful world

If each little kid could have fresh milk each day
If each working soul had enough time to play
If each homeless soul had a good place to stay
It could be a wonderful world

This one was written back in the 40's and Pete Seeger used to sing it. The rest of the words and music are around on the web.
might be nice to bring it back

30. I Can See Clearly Now, by Johnny Nash

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been prayin' for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there’s nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

31. Doctor My Eyes, in honor of Chairman Dean

44. Changes IV - Cat Stevens

Don't you feel a change a coming
from another side of time
breaking down the walls of silence
lifting shadows from your mind
Placing back the missing mirrors
that before you couldn't find
filling mysteries of emptiness
that yesterday left behind

And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
now let's all start the living
for the one that's going to last
Yes we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
now let's all start the living
for the one that's going to last

Don't you feel the day is coming
that will stay and remain
when your children see the answers
that you saw the same
when the clouds have all gone
there will be no more rain
and the beauty of all things
is uncovered again

Don't you feel the day is coming
and it won't be too soon
when the people of the world
can all live in one room
when we shake off the ancient
shake off the ancient chains of our tomb
we will all be born again
of the eternal womb
