It's on the radio, it's on the TV news
Conservatives and liberals, with ever clashing views
But as the days go by I can't tell which side is talking
Their left is in the center, and labeled “Liberal Doctrine”


Chorus
They do nothing for you…
They do nothing for me…
NO! They give us nothing to believe
Watch your right
Watch your left
Watch the right
Watch the center
AND WATCH YOUR BACK!


Let the Feds pass a law, that takes your rights away
'Cause, “You gotta sacrifice if you want to stay safe!”
Till the day you find the Feds in your back pocket
Locking you away for saying “Question”, “Think”, or “Stop It”


Chorus

Joseph McCarthy and Reagan, set the mother fuckin' stage
For the right leanings that now grip the USA
They framed and jailed the Reds- lost the keys to the cell
Set up the Capitalist Machine to go in for the kill… yeah… yeah… yeah…


Social divisions - encouraged by the few- FEW!
Those few in power - suckerin' suckers like you- YOU!
As corporate welfare, flows from troughs of the state- STATE!
Yeah big business, takes more than their fair take- TAKE!
But in the end it is suckers like you- YOU!
Who buy that the poor, are givin' you the screw- SCREW!
Don't you realize that it's just talk, talk, talk, talkin'…
Like tax men at your door, fuckin knockin' knockin' knockin'


Chorus

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
