Last call for alcohol
Last call for your freedom speech
Drink up, happy hour is now enforced by law
Don't forget our house special
It's called a Tricky Dickie Screwdriver
It's got one part Jack Daniels, two parts purple Kool-Aid
And a jegger of fermaldahyde
From a jar with Hitlers brain in it
We got in the back storeroom
Happy trails to you
Happy trails to you

I am Emperor Ronald Reagan
Born again with fascist cravings
Still, you made me president
Human rights will soon go 'way
I am now our Shah today
Now I command all of you
Now you're gonna pray in school
And I'll make sure they're Christian too

California uber alles
California uber alles
Uber alles California
Uber alles California

Ku Klux Klan will control you
Still you think it's natural
Nigga knockin' for the master race
Still you wear the happy face
You closed your eyes, can't happen here
Alexander Haig is near
Vietnam won't come back you say
Join the army or you will pay
Join the army or you will pay

California uber alles
California uber alles
Uber alles California
Uber alles California

That's it, just relax, have another drink
If you want pretzels, a little more MSG
Turn on those Dallas Cowboys on your TV
Lock you doors, close your minds
It's time for the two-minute warning

Welcome to 1984
Are you ready for the Third World War?
You too will meet the secret police
They'll draft you and they'll jail your niece

You'll go quietly to boot camp
They'll shoot you dead, make you a man
Don't you worry, it's for a cause
Feeding global corporations' clause

Die on our brand new poison gas
El Salvador or Afghanistan
Making money for President Reagan
Making money for President Reagan
And all the friends of President Reagan

California uber alles
California uber alles
Uber alles California
Uber alles California

    Don't forget Grenada, Iran-Contra, the War on Drugs, his unwillingness to address the AIDS crisis...of course all that was after this was recorded, so I guess Biafra is being particularly prophetic here...or maybe he could just see the writing on the wall. I don't know; I was only a baby and hence too young to vote. :(

    I love In God We Trust, Inc. in general - a very quick, very brutal attack on the wrong turn our country took in the 1980 election.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
