This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
We got firecrackers and red balloons
And a street orchestra that plays a tune
Confetti's flying in the air
A lot of people are gathered here
We got placards posters & stickers to
We got reggae music by Yabby You
We got redflags, blackflags and flag with stars
We got slogans painted on our guitars
We speak about freedom, speak about freedom
We speak about war, speak about war
We got a vision, baby, we got a vision
That we just can't ignore
It sure rains on our parade
But the wind will change the clouds will fade
A change will come eventually
So says Karl Marx and history
We got vegetarian gumbo stew
The Rockin' Pneumonia and the Punk Rock Flu
We got Iko Iko and Stagger Lee
And the junco partner's leaning against a tree
We got Emma Goldman and Chomsky too
We got things to say we got stuff to do
We got all kinds of freedom fighters gathered here
We got our friend in the corner over there drinking beer
We speak about the future, speak about the future
We speak about the past, speak about the past
We speak about a new world order, a new world order, a new world order
And we hope that we can get there fast, a new world order
It sure rains on our parade
But the wind will change the clouds will fade
A change will come eventually
So says Karl Marx and history
Karl Marx and history [Repeat x 6]

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this song is awesome, randy is a great band.
indeed it is.
This is about how Capitalism will eventually fade away:it sure rains on our parade but the wind will change the clouds will fade a change will come eventually so says karl marx and history As said by Marx in the Communist Manifesto.

Wise Aimee? Are you sure you are from this planet =D most punk bands are in one way or another political (and should by in my opinion)....saw randy last year on tour with Bad Religion (does somebody say 'political pop punk?')
