Fuck L Ron Hubbard and
Fuck all his clones.
Fuck all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.
Learn to swim.
Fuck retro anything.
Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memory.
Learn to swim.
Fuck smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.
Learn to swim.
Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.
Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

Actually it is more than one line but, just love this first verse from
What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding written by
Nick Lowe and made famous by Elvis Costello.
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows"
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues
============================================
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
Rush - Freewill
==============================================
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I've said it all
R.E.M. - Losing my Religion
==============================================
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Lennon / McCartney - Let it Be
==============================================
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Paul Simon - Bridge Over Troubled Water
===========================================

Great choices, you fellas really know your music...
If there's a goal that everyone remembers,
it was back in ol' 72
we all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger
and all I remember is sitting beside you
you said you didn't give a fuck about hockey
and I never saw someone say that before
you held my hand and we walked home the long way
you were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr

Two from songs with the same title both very powerful.
"And, in the end, the love you take/ Is equal to the love you make"
Lennon / McCartney - The End
==============================================
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
Ill never look into your eyes...again
Jim Morrison - The End
And I hope this is not the end
"And, in the end, the love you take/ Is equal to the love you make"
Lennon / McCartney - The End

"She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
I thought you'd never say hello she said, you look like the silent type
then she opened up a book of poems and handed it to me
written by an Italian poet from the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
and glowed like burning coal
Pourin off of every page
like it was written from my soul from me to you
tangeled up in blue
Bob Dylan -- Tangled up in blue

He'd go out and plow
but the tractors broken down
and the daylight is almost spent anyway.
So he pours himself a drink
sits on the porch to think
whatever are the neighbors gonna say.
Drinking don't take the place
the banker does with an empty face
as he tells you about a job up the road.
Leave the keys in the mailbox when you go.
Go out and Plow by Fred J. Eaglesmith. Another song about a farmer losing his land.

A good verse from some old Dylan - "My Back Pages"
"Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect -
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect.
Good & bad, I define these terms -
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then -
I'm younger than that now"
