It’s on.
JD threw down the gauntlet last night with his “power in a union” video, and challenged fellow musicians to cover old union songs with him. this isn’t exactly a union song, but it’s a rallying cry and a call to arms, and it’s been running through my head pretty much nonstop for the past couple, well, years now. it’s by the minutemen, quite possibly the best band this country has ever produced, and without question the most eloquent on the subjects of class and privilege.
all these men who work the land
should evaluate themselves and make a stand
can’t they see beyond the rhetoric
the lies and promises that don’t mean shitand all the men who learned to hate them
they keep themselves hidden away
they keep themselves upon a hill
afraid of the day they’ll have to pay
for all the crimes upon their headsand all the men who learned to hate them
