For Friday: A Song

Jaime Green is one of my new favorites.


These are the lyrics to "What's Happening Here?"


Teacher Teacher
did you not behave
Did you teach the children war is not ok?
Why you packing up your stuff?
Did they ship you out to shut you up?
Whats Happening Here?

Soldier, Soldier did you lose a limb?
To fight a war based on a rich man's whim?
Where are all your benefits?
Did they fund the tax cuts for the rich?
Whats happening here?

Chorus

Dont you know you gotta
Rise Up
Seek the truth
Shout out loud
Whats happenin here?

Whats happening here

Dont you know you gotta
Shine a light on what you know is right
Right here
Right now
And say it clear
Whats happening here?
Whats happening here?

Halliburton why you always there?
Reaping profits where there's nothing but despair
From the Middle East to New Orleans
Tell me, is there no end to your greed?
Whats happing here?

So tell me why aren't we out in the streets?
Demanding our commander be impeached?
For the sinisternes in his plans
The blood of thousands on his hands
Whats happening here?

Devastation
Desperation
Allegations
DIS-information
Manipulation
Intimidation
Interegations
Incarcerations

Indignation will be our saving grace...
