Shower song (Came to me in the shower)

With Deepest respect and apologies to the people of Ireland.

The Makin' O' The Green.

Internet dear, and did ye hear the news that's goin' round?
Free Enterprise is slated to soon rule the network ground!
No more net neutrality we'll keep, that freedom can't be seen
For they're shuttin' down the network for the Makin' o' the Green.

For the Makin' o' the Green, for the Makin' o' the Green,
They're shuttin' down the network for the Makin' o' the Green.

I met with Gen'ral Butler, and he took me by the hand
And he said, "War's always been evil, and this is how they planned,
"To keep the people docile, and yet their soldiers keen
For they'd kill another million for the Makin' o' the Green."

For the Makin' o' the Green, for the Makin' o' the Green,
They'd kill another million for the Makin' o' the Green.

"So if the color we must wear be Verizon's cruel red
Or perhaps Comcast, Centurylink, AT&T instead...
Pull out your pen and paper, and that ancient book of stamps,
And continue to tell the truth till both your hands get cramps.

When laws can stop the blades of grass from growin' as they grow
And when the leaves in summer-time their color dare not show
Then I will cease to tell the truth and no longer vent my spleen
But they can go and Fuck 'emselves, won't be Makin' any Green.

For the Makin' O' The Green, For the Makin o' The Green,
They can go and fuck 'emselves, won't be Makin' any Green.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

@Ellen North I think I timed the release of this one absolutely horribly, but it's what came to me. Smile

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.

@detroitmechworks

Good timing, actually: just tried looking this up on my FF youtube link:

Wealth Inequality Most Severe Since Ancient Egypt w/Prof. Richard Wolff The Jimmy Dore Show

Looking down the page, there was everything but Jimmy and the relevance used in 'results' can no longer be accessed as the links are all dead now, although it contained no mention of Jimmy Dore when I looked just previously.

Looked and couldn't see my guardian duckie on the page (but internet's working right now!!! and I can finally play music!!!) so changed pages and went to a new page for DDG, and right up top was The Dore To Reality:

Just have to finish blasting a Green Day album I've been trying to get to for days, lol, and which just went dry - back to loading issues, I suppose... guess I'll hear Jimmy a few seconds or minutes at a time, here and there... sigh...

In any event, anyone who isn't 'just Ducky' at the moment might want to consider trying it as their search engine, as they may never know what they're missing otherwise.
