This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
If you want to bleed, then come along with me, we're only half breeds but we'll be home free.
So mark your territory, 'cause it's on.
(Put / punch) your banjo, we're gonna mow 'em down, we've got a feelin', it's even breathin'.
We know how cheap our freedom is.
But I'm a pissed washer, walkin' down the street like a speed ball.
Purrin', like a cat out on the prowl.
Well I'm taking them on, 'cause it's on.
And every power abused, and every item consumed. Now it's on, 'cause it's on.
The laws of history never (?) 'cause they're clear. 'Cause it's on, yeah it's on.
It's on.
We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot.
It's on.
Now you'll see just how we're gonna start a riot.
We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot.
Don't know where to begin, it's all over again, and it's on, it's on.
And if you think your (free / afraid) then you'd better believe, that it's on, and it's on.
And we'll drink anything. If it burns and it's strong. 'Cause it's on, and it's on.
And the crop of the cream, ain't gonna fuck with me, 'cause it's on, and it's on.
And we ain't gonna propagate for you, 'cause it's on, and it's on.
Ain't gonna (?) taken care of, 'cause it's on, and it's on.
It's on.
We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot.
Certainty and now we're gonna start a riot.
We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot.
Certainty and now we're gonna start a riot.
So mark your territory, 'cause it's on.
(Put / punch) your banjo, we're gonna mow 'em down, we've got a feelin', it's even breathin'.
We know how cheap our freedom is.
But I'm a pissed washer, walkin' down the street like a speed ball.
Purrin', like a cat out on the prowl.
Well I'm taking them on, 'cause it's on.
And every power abused, and every item consumed. Now it's on, 'cause it's on.
The laws of history never (?) 'cause they're clear. 'Cause it's on, yeah it's on.
It's on.
We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot.
It's on.
Now you'll see just how we're gonna start a riot.
We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot.

We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot.
Certainty and now we're gonna start a riot.

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,
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.
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.
I think joed86 has the lyrics pretty much right on.
The title basically is saying that as long as monetary system is in place, you can't fight the power and win...you can only trade places with those in power. The song is, on the one hand, a satirical presentation/analysis of an Alex Jones Info Warrior (for lack of a non-sickening term). The words are mostly spoken by someone who is pissed off that the New World Order is here. But their only answer is to basically join some group, protest/terrorize/whatever, and trade places with those in power (e.g. "we are the police, and now we're gonna start a riot").
On the other hand, the lyrics are also indicative of a voice coming from a higher state of consciousness. The voice relates to the Info Warrior's feelings of disgust with the NWO, and how anger can be strengthening and constructive in a way. But it also recognizes that the monetary system is the overriding issue, and no amount of protest or anger will stop it. The only way is to stop spending/making too much money. Perhaps little by little, we can do that over time so that we don't keep propagating for the debt peddlers? I don't know, but I thought it was interesting to think about..
