You Haven’t Done Nothin’ by Stevie Wonder. (Funky as hell, too.) We are amazed but not amused By all the things you say that you’ll do Though much concerned but not involved With decisions that are made by you But we are sick and tired of hearing your song Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong 'Cause if you really want to hear our views You haven’t done nothing It’s not too cool to be ridiculed But you brought this upon yourself The world is tired of pacifiers We want the truth and nothing else, yeah And we are sick and tired of hearing your song Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong 'Cause if you really want to hear our views You haven’t done nothing ---

“The Code Is Red… Long Live the Code” by Napalm Death [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cnhXQfQHkdQ/hqdefault.jpg "Napalm Death - The code is red... Long live the code") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnhXQfQHkdQ) \*The code is red… Long live the code Lighting the way to a panic mode. Switched up to - switched up to subdue when the masses switch off The code is red… Long live the code Whip up a storm and they’ll play along. Barricades built - barricades built to deter ficitional threats Dissected, observed Under an all - seeing microscope Dissected, observed Be the perfect specimens Lighting the way - lighting the way, subjugate, illuminate. It’s ego and worse It brings us to “zero tolerance” It’s ego and worse To suffocate diversity And decree it an aggressive disease. There will always come a threat once the plebs step out of line A fabricated perpetrator biding his time. They’ll take us up to fever pitch and watch intolerance spread. And you’ll be none the wiser with a paranoid mindset\* ---

Tom Paxton’s [Mr. Blue](http://www.mydfz.com/Paxton/lyrics/mrblue.htm) has to fit in there somewhere. Be careful Mister Blue this phase you’re going through, Can lead you nowhere else, but to disaster. Excuse us while we grin, you’ve worn our patience thin. It’s time to show you who’s your master. What will it take, to whip you into line? A broken heart? A broken head? It can be arranged. ---

Blues Traveler’s “Hook,” maybe? It doesn’t matter what I say As long as I sing with inflection It makes you feel I’ll convey Some inner truth or vast reflection But I’ve said nothing so far And I can keep it up for as long as it takes Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk ---

> [@Derleth](#): > > R.E.M. - “First We Take Manhattan” (first person to tell me I should put Leonard Cohen here gets my hastily-rewritten version of “Creep”) Sorry but the “original” Cohen version wins here; it’s just so iconically Eurotrash. That R.E.M. cover is pretty good but you forgot the rule of NO R.E.M. SONGS, so sorry! 🆒 Loving the hell out of “Lawyers, Guns & Money” right now. Is all of Warren Zevon’s stuff as awesome as this? Still need more anti-environmental songs – I’ve added “Throwing Stones” by the Grateful Dead, “Earth Day” by Devin Townsend, possibly “The Trees” by Rush… ---

Another ‘wall’ song: the refrain of the Wilburys’ (really Dylan’s) "Tweeter and the Monkeyman:: _And the walls came down All the way to hell Never saw them when they’re standing Never saw them when they fell_ The whole Trump-as-dumpster-fire thing always reminded me of Modest Mouse’s “Lampshade’s on Fire,” which also fits in with the trashing-the-environment section: \*The air’s on fire so we’re moving on Better find another one cause this one’s done Waiting for the magic of the scientist’s glove To push, push, push, push, pull us up Spend some time, float in outer space Find another planet, make the same mistakes\* ---
