jmorse's Journal: We need a hero

God save the Queen
the fascist regime,
they made you a moron
a potential H-bomb.

God save the Queen
she ain't no human being.
There is no future
in England's dreaming

Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need.
There's no future
there's no future
there's no future for you

God save the Queen
we mean it man
we love our queen
God saves

God save the Queen
'cos tourists are money
and our figurehead
is not what she seems

Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord God have mercy
all crimes are paid.

When there's no future
how can there be sin
we're the flowers
in the dustbin
we're the poison
in your human machine
we're the future
you're future

God save the Queen
we mean it man
we love our queen
God saves

In the 1970's, England had The Clash (RIP, Joe) and the Sex Pistols to save them. In the 1980's the US had bands like the Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, and others. In the 1990's, the US had Rage Against the Machine and underground bands like Anti-Flag. Who will step up in our current decade and become a hero against the evil corporatists who run our country?

There are some obvious choices, like Ralph Nader, but I don't know if he can beat the Democrat's assinine rhetoric about how he (and not our antiquated electoral system) supposedly cost Al Gore the presidency. There are others (like Dennis Kucinich, Peter Miguel Camejo, and several cultural figures) who will certainly take the mic and shout for all to hear that our system, the people who run it, and the people who sponsor it are the cause of most of our pain...but will they be heard?

I don't claim to have the answers...just posing a question. I know the libertarian-leaning /. crowd (if they bother to read this) won't hesitate to rip it, but what the hell...more free speech is better than less.
