The Protest Blues

 

Walked out of class to join the band.
March for justice in this land.
No lack of shelter, no lack of food.
Down at the bottom of the protest blues.
Down at the bottom of the protest blues.

Got my music and I got my glow.
Can watch replays of every single show.
Can't help it though, I'm in the mood.
Fix something quick for my protest blues.
Fix something quick for my protest blues.

Don't you dare look at me thataway.
Take my suspension like a runaway.
Didn't have to be so mean and rude.
Just had a case of the protest blues.
Just had a case of the protest blues.

The T-shirt says it all I guess.
Shrunk up, but the it's still the best.
Raise our fist and stomp our shoes.
Nothing can cure my protest blues.
Nothing can cure my protest blues.

We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
