This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You're beautiful more beautiful than me
You're honorable more honorable than me
Loyal to the Bank of America
It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times
You're sharpening stones walking on coals
To improve your business acumen
Sharpening stones walking on coals
To improve your business acumen
Vested interest united ties landed gentry rationalize
Look who bought the myth by jingo buy America
It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times
You're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen
Sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen
Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America
"Let us not assassinate this man further, Senator
You've done enough
Have you no sense of decency, sir?
At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
We're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen
Sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen
Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik
You've seen start and you've seen quit
(I'm addressing the table of content)
I always thought of you as quick
Exhuming McCarthy
(Meet me at the book burning)
Exhuming McCarthy
(Meet me at the book burning)
You're honorable more honorable than me
Loyal to the Bank of America
It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times
You're sharpening stones walking on coals
To improve your business acumen
Sharpening stones walking on coals
To improve your business acumen
Vested interest united ties landed gentry rationalize
Look who bought the myth by jingo buy America
It's a sign of the times

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Right on, Jerrybear... and now in 2004 its back again with Bush 2. What are you, some kind of terrorist lover?
Anyone interested in the Communist 'reds under the bed' fever of the 50s and 60s should read James Elroy's novel American Tabloid.
As for the song, the quote in the middle is from a trial in 1954 in which McCarthy had been tearing down a (plainly innocent) young man's reputation and painting him as an evil Communist. This was actually not even the issue in the trial, it was in fact an army draft case, but McCarthy decided to make allegations against a junior lawyer at the firm handling the opposing side of the case.
Joseph Welch was the attorney for the army in the case, and the quote is his. First he said: "Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness," as McCarthy began to slander the young man. When McCarthy continued, Welch said "Let us not assassinate this lad further, Senator; you've done enough." McCarthy continued, so Welch interjected: "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
This trial was televised, and this event was the beginning of the end for McCarthy and his anti-Communist witch hunt.
@caitsith01 I was just listening to this song and thinking, "Things only get worse." Soooooooo depressing!
