this is a song by Steppenwolf
i haven't heard it in years...
i think it is very very right on ... 
just wondering what you think of it 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpuyXdKx9Ws&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tbiFBBd7lQ (Monster) Once the religious, the hunted and weary Chasing the promise of freedom and hope Came to this country to build a new vision Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope Like good Christians, some would burn the witches Later some got slaves to gather riches But still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild And she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light And once the ties with the crown had been broken Westward in saddle and wagon it went And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean Many the lives which had come to an end While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland We began the slaughter of the red man But still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild And she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light The blue and grey they stomped it They kicked it just like a dog And when the war over They stuffed it just like a hog And though the past has it's share of injustice Kind was the spirit in many a way But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping Now it's a monster and will not obey (Suicide) The spirit was freedom and justice And it's keepers seem generous and kind It's leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind 'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy And now their vote is a meaningless joke They babble about law and order But it's all just an echo of what they've been told Yeah, there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into a noose And it just sits there watchin' Our cities have turned into jungles And corruption is stranglin' the land The police force is watching the people And the people just can't understand We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us Now we are fighting a war over there No matter who's the winner We can't pay the cost 'Cause there's a monster on the loose 
It's got our heads into a noose And it just sits there watching (America) America where are you now? 
Don't you care about your sons and daughters? 
Don't you know we need you now 
We can't fight alone against the monster

this is another good song by Steppenwolf
the Pusher
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpoEmlxUPeQ&NR=1 Words and music by Hoyt Axton You know I've smoked a lot of grass O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills But I never touched nothin' That my spirit could kill You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round With tombstones in their eyes But the pusher don't care Ah, if you live or if you die chorus You know the dealer, the dealer is a man With the love grass in his hand Oh but the pusher is a monster Good God, he's not a natural man The dealer for a nickel Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams Ah, but the pusher ruin your body Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream chorus Well, now if I were the president of this land You know, I'd declare total war on The Pusher man I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd run Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun !!! damm The Pusher !!! damm The Pusher I said !!! damn, !!! damm The Pusher man the legal pill pushing ones < some doctors >
and the illegal ones too

born to be wild
Get your motor running Head out on the highway Looking for adventure In whatever comes our way
Yeah, darling Gonna make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once and Explode into space
I like smoke and lightning Heavy metal thunder Racing in the wind And the feeling that I'm under
Yeah, darling Gonna make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once and Explode into space
Like a true nature child We were born Born to be wild We have climbed so high Never want to die Born to be wild Born to be wild

this is one of the prettiest songs
of all time i think 
although there are many runners up 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNjzzDNIJWw the Ballad of Easy Rider
by the Byrds
The river flows It flows to the sea Wherever that river goes That's where I want to be Flow river flow Let your waters wash down Take me from this road To some other town
All he wanted Was to be free And that's the way It turned out to be Flow river flow Let your waters wash down Take me from this road To some other town
Flow river flow Past the shaded tree Go river, go Go to the sea Flow to the sea
The river flows It flows to the sea Wherever that river goes That's where I want to be Flow river flow Let your waters wash down Take me from this road To some other town

and now for my final song this afternoon
in this fine repertoire of awesome music
this is also one of my all time favorites
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M597-6lhKrg
i wasn't born to follow by the Byrds
Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crest is flowing
and Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountain 
and Wander through the forest
Where the trees have leaves of prisms and break the light in colors 
That no one knows the names of
And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain
Till I see your form reflected in its clear and jeweled waters
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another 
I will want to die
beneath the white cascading waters 
he may beg, he may plead,
he may argue with his logic
And then he'll know
the things I learned
That really have no value 
in the end
he will surely know
I wasn't born to follow

Get ready for the most gorgeous tune
this is a real treat so get comfy and kick back
open your heart & your mind please
& use your inner senses for this one
by Mr. Richie Havens
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odnKLx9RsQ4&feature=related Let the river rock you like a cradle
Climb to the treetops, child,
if you're able
Let your hands
tie a knot across the table.
Come and touch the things you cannot feel.
And close your fingertips
and fly where I can't hold you
Let the sun-rain fall
and let the dewy clouds enfold you
And maybe you can sing to me
the words I just told you,
If all the things you feel
ain't what they seem.
And don't mind me
'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream.
The mocking bird sings each different song
Each song has wings - they won't stay long.
Do those who hear think he's doing wrong? 
While the church bell tolls its one-note song
And the school bell is tinkling to the throng.
Come here where your ears cannot hear.
And close your eyes, child,
and listen to what I'll tell you
Follow in the darkest night
the sounds that may impel you
And the song that I am singing
may disturb  or serve to quell you
If all the sounds you hear
ain't what they seem,
Then don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream
The rising smell of fresh-cut grass Smothered cities choke and yell with fuming gas I hold some grapes up to the sun And their flavour breaks upon my tongue. With eager tongues we taste our strife And fill our lungs with seas of life. Come taste and smell the waters of our time.
And close your lips, My Man ,
so softly I might kiss you, Let your spicy scent out
and let the winds caress you.
As I walk on through the garden,
I am hoping I don't miss you
If all the things you taste
ain't what they seem,
Then don't mind me
'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream .
The sun and moon both arise
And we'll see them soon
through days and nights But now silver leaves are mirrors,
bring delights. 
And the colours of your eyes
are fiery bright,
While darkness blinds the skies
with all its light.
Come see where your eyes cannot see.
And close your eyes, child, 
and look at what I'll show you;
Let your mind go reeling out
and let the breezes blow you,
And maybe when we meet
then suddenly
I will know you.
If all the things you see
ain't quite what they seem,
Then don't mind me
'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream .
And you can follow; 
And you can follow; follow...

I lit it up (made it a hotlink), so all could hear. It is a FINE song! Quote this to see how to light 'em up, then take it to the oldies thread, or I will later sometime.

cool...i am glad you love it
here is another from Woodstock
i was there at Woodstock in 1969
at age 15
but i didn't get there until Saturday
and Richie performed on Friday Night
Handsome Johnny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1pMeyy__r0&feature=related Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see Marching to the fields of Concord? It looks like Handsome Johnny with a musket in his hand, Marching to the Concord war, hey marching to the Concord war. Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see Marching to the fields of Gettysburg? It looks like Handsome Johnny with a flintlock in his hand, Marching to the Gettysburg war, hey marching to the Gettysburg war. Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see Marching to the fields of Dunkirk? It looks like Handsome Johnny with a carbine in his hand, Marching to the Dunkirk war, hey marching to the Dunkirk war. Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see Marching to the fields of Korea? It looks like Handsome Johnny with an M1 in his hand, Marching to the Korean war, hey marching to the Korean war. Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see Marching to the fields of Vietnam? It looks like Handsome Johnny with an M15, Marching to the Vietnam war, hey marching to the Vietnam war. Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see Marching to the fields of Birmingham? It looks like Handsome Johnny with his hand rolled in a fist, Marching to the Birmingham war, hey marching to the Birmingham war. Hey, it's a long hard road, it's a long hard road, It's a long hard road, before we'll be free. Hey, what's the use of singing this song, some of you are not even listening. Tell me what it is we've got to do: wait for our fields to start glistening, Wait for the bullets to start whistling. Here comes a hydrogen bomb, here comes a guided missile, Here comes a hydrogen bomb: I can almost hear its whistle. |

this is a great song
by Quicksilver Messenger Service What about me??? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OUszp9QFmq4&feature=related (Released December of 1970) i know many people can relate to this song i love you all
who have also been unjustly treated
Our POW's and MIA too
wherever you are , you are not forgotten
you are in my heart & prayers
"You poisoned my sweet water. You cut down my green trees. The food you fed my children Was the cause of their disease. My world is slowly fallin' down And the airs not good to breathe. And those of us who care enough, We have to do something....... (Chorus) Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me? Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me? Your newspapers, They just put you on. They never tell you The whole story. They just put your Young ideas down. I was wonderin' could this be the end Of your pride and glory? (Chorus) I work in your factory. I study in your schools. I fill your penitentiaries. And your military too! And I feel the future trembling, As the word is passed around. "If you stand up for what you do believe, Be prepared to be shot down." (Chorus) And I feel like a stranger In the land where I was born And I live like an outlaw. An' I'm always on the run.......................... An Im always getting busted And I got to take a stand........ I believe the revolution Must be mighty close at hand....................... (Chorus) I smoke marijuana But I cant get behind your wars. And most of what I do believe Is against most of your laws I'm a fugitive from injustice But I'm goin' to be free. Cause your rules and regulations They dont do the thing for me (Chorus) And I feel like a stranger In the land where I was born And I live just like an outlaw. An' I'm always on the run. " |

Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

38 years later and the song still has as much meaning today as it did back in 1971. I have had this song in my posession for the last 38 years. I only have it on cd now. I play it about 3 times a week. By the way sis. Don`t Step On The Grass Sam. Another Steppenwolf classic. |

Emerson Lake and Palmer
still, you turn me on
Do you wanna be an angel Do you wanna be a star Do you wanna play some magic On my guitar Do you wanna be a poet Do you wanna be my string You could be anything Do you wanna be the lover of another undercover You could even be the Man on the moon Do you wanna be the player Do you wanna be the string Let me tell you something It just don't mean a thing You see it really doesn't matter When you're buried in disguise By the dark glass on your eyes Though your flesh has crystallised Still...you turn me on Do you wanna be the pillow Where I lay my head Do you wanna be the feathers Lying on my bed Do you wanna be the cover Of a magazine Create a scene Every day a little sadder A little madder Someone get me a ladder Do you wanna be the singer Do you wanna be the song Let me tell you something You just couldn't be more wrong You see I really have to tell you That it all gets so intense From my experience It just doesn't seem to make sense Still...you turn me on
