Some appropriate words from the Book of Bob...
An excerpt or two from the song "Slow Train Coming"...
All that foreign oil
Controlling American soil,
Look around you,
It's just bound to make you embarrassed.
Sheiks walkin' around like kings,
Wearing fancy jewels and nose rings,
Deciding America's future
From Amsterdam and to Paris
Man's ego is inflated,
His laws are outdated,
They don't apply no more,
You can't rely no more
To be standin' around waitin'
In the home of the brave,
Jefferson turnin' over in his grave,
Fools glorifying themselves,
Trying to manipulate Satan
Big-time negotiators,
False healers and woman haters,
Masters of the bluff,
Masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency,
All non-believers and men stealers
Talkin' in the name of religion
People starving and thirsting
Grain elevators are bursting
You know it costs more to store the food
Than it does to give it.
They say lose your inhibitions
Follow your own ambitions,
They talk about a life of brotherly love,
Show me someone who knows how to live it.
This song was written in 1979...
