Sweet Freedom by Michael McDonald

No more runnin' down the wrong road
Dancin' to a different drum
Can't you see what's goin' on
Deep inside your heart?
Always searchin' for the real thing
Livin' like it's far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holdin' the key when you believe it
Shine, sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I wanna be

I Run To You - Lady A

I run from hate
I run from prejudice
I run from pessimists
But I run too late
I run my life
Or is it running me?
Run from my past
I run too fast
Or too slow it seems
When lies become the truth
That's when I run to you
This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you
I run to you baby
And when it all starts coming undone
Baby you're the only one I run to
I run to you

Lift Your Spirit - Aloe Black

Come on lift your spirit
And toast a cheer
To all the good times
Throughout the years
And just remember
It ain't where you're from
It's where you're at
It ain't who you know
It's who's got your back
Who's got your back

[Verse 1]
Times have changed
Everything's strange nothing's what it seems
Here's a friend someone who drops in
Or a face on a telephone screen
When my chips are down and I'm feeling low
Who I'm 'pose to call?
Who's gonna help me stand on my feet after I fall

[Bridge]
So ladies and gentleman and boys and girls
This one goes out to the people who helped me most in the world

[Hook 2]
So lift your spirit
And toast a cheer
To all the good times
Throughout the years
And just remember
It ain't where you're from it's where you're at
It ain't who you know it's whose got your back
Whose got your back
Whose got your back
It ain't where you're from it's where you're at
And whose got your back
Whose got your back

The only correct answer is Move It On Over by George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

“You Can’t Always Get What you Want.” Just to trigger the Trumpists.

We Shall Be Free by Garth Brooks

 

[Michael_ Gee]

As a child of Wilmington, Del. in the 1960s, just as J0e Biden was, there are only two options. 1. Motown. 2. Stax/Volt. We were the ONLY city in America where Satisfaction wasn't the number one hit of 1965. We were "Can't Help Myself."

[Sam Mills 51]

"Duchess" - Genesis

"Times were good,
She never thought about the future, she just did what she would
Oh but she really cared
About her music, it all seemed so important then,

And she dreamed that every time that she performed
Everyone would cry for more,
That all she had to do was step into the light,
And everyone would start to roar.

And on the road,
Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge,
She battled through
Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds.

But now everytime that she performed
Oh everybody cried for more,
Soon all she had to do was step into the light,
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for.

Oh but time went by
It wasn't so easy now, all uphill, and not feeling so strong.
Yes times were hard,
Too much thinking 'bout the future and what people might want.

An then there was the time that she performed
When nobody called for more
And soon everytime she stepped into the light,
They really let her know the score.
But she dreamed of the times when she sang all her songs
And everybody cried for more,
When all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for."



(Yes, Trump is a Subhuman Pile of Crime, not a female entertainer. Larger point - i.e., downfall - applies.)

 

[Killick]

Lilly Allen, F*** You

Look inside
Look inside your tiny mind
Now look a bit harder
'Cause we're so uninspired
So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor
So you say
It's not okay to be gay
Well, I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

**** you (**** you)
**** you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So, please don't stay in touch

**** you (**** you)
**** you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So, please don't stay in touch

Do you get
Do you get a little kick out of being small-minded?
You want to be like your father
It's approval you're after
Well, that's not how you find it
Do you
Do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful?




DISCLAIMER: Twice in the months leading up to the election, I pulled up to one of those parking lot pop-up stands selling Trump flags and MAGA hats, parked right next to it, rolled down all my windows and blasted this song. And let it repeat a few times.

 

[HanSenSE]

"Ding, dong, the witch is dead."

The only correct answer is Move It On Over by George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers.

I’ll take the Hank version.
