RETURN TO MANZANAR
10 years after, his guts still churned He packed his bag and he returned To people like horses they were well bred Beauty in the flesh but empty in the head They talked of money and trains so fast Manicured smiles for the lower class From a city on a hill where greed is sacred They sneered at the world their parents created (chorus)all their cocaine and credit cards Didn't get them very far All of their money and fancy cars Didn't drive them far from manzanar Black and white like a photograph All that was good was in the past The ground was amber waves of green The future looked so serene The people were cold, their edges sharp Plastic mouths open out came the bark You're the under class, not like the rest All your life you'll be second best (chorus) A jury of peers or was it fate? That turned all his love into hate A snarling dog spitting out broken teeth He fought every inch but the grade was steep Backed in a corner, they beat him down A wreath of thorns for his boyhood crown Not gonna live an eternity of shame He killed himself and stole my name

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.
