Veterans of the Red State Wars
basis: Blue Oyster Cult's "Veterans of the Psychic Wars"
Those familiar with it know they're cool. :)
You see me now a veteran of a thousand Red State wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me
Don't let these fools go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had them leave
They've been feasting in the flames
They've been eating up our brains
Oh, please don't let these fools go on
You ask me why I'm here, what good am I to you
You blame me just for being
Say it's time my kind was through
But the war's still going on dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever...
I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free
Don't let these fools go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had them leave
They've been feasting in the flames
They've been eating out our brains
Oh, please don't let these fools go on
You see me now a veteran of a thousand Red State wars
My patience is spent at last
My sufferance now destroyed
I have used up all my prayer, all but helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?
Don't let these fools go on
It's time we had a break from it
Let us end this now
'Fore the tides of madness swell
We've been sliding into hell
Oh, please don't let fools go on
Don't let these fools go on
Video Killed The Troll Rating Star
basis: Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star", offered in homage to Liberation Learning...who didn't git killt, after all. :)
I saw you online on a blog in Two-Oh-Two
Staying awake intent on arguing with you.
Though you were wrong it didn't stop you coming through.
Oh-a oh
They stole Ohio for their second infamy.
Diebold's outcome bought with new technology,
and now I understand the problems you don't see.
Oh-a oh
What of the children
Oh-a oh
What will you tell them?
Video killed the troll rating star.
Video killed the troll rating star.
The coup came and broke my heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in a blog in cyberspace.
We hear the playback and it seems so out of place.
And you remember the truths you never faced?
Oh-a oh
You were the first one.
Oh-a oh
You were the last one.
Video killed the troll rating star.
Video killed the troll rating star.
In my mind and in my heart, you don't deserve to go real far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh
Video killed the troll rating star.
Video killed the troll rating star.
In my mind and in my heart, you don't deserve to go real far
The coup came and broke my heart, I just blame what you still are.
You are a troll rating star.
You are a troll rating star.
Video killed the troll rating star.

Only the Pubbies Can Play
basis: "Only the Lonely Can Play", by the Motels
We walked the most shameless mile
We sneered without any style
We love altogether wrong
No affection
We lied about our leader's wars
We smiled about what was in store
For a world that had to deal
With me and you
It's like I told you
Only the Pubbies can play
So hold on here we go
It will be like nothing they know
I feel so godlike way up here
You recall back when we were in control
So long ago, when I sold my soul
And piper comes to gather his fee now
It's like I told you
Only the Pubbies can play
Only the Pubbies
Only the Pubbies can play
[Instrumental Interlude]
It's like I told you
Only the Pubbies can play
Only the Pubbies
Only the Pubbies can play
Only the Pubbies
Only the Pubbies can play
Son of 'We're Through Being Cool'

WE'RE THROUGH BEING COOL
ELIMINATE THE NUTJOBS AND THE TWITS
GOING TO BANG PUB HEADS
GOING TO BEAT PUB BUTTS
TIME TO SHOW THOSE EVIL SPUDS WHAT'S WHAT
IF YOU LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN
YOU MIGHT MEET A DOZEN OR TWO
YOUNG DEMOCRAT TYPES WHO STEP OUT
AND DARE TO DECLARE
SPANK THE WANKS WHO TRY TO DRIVE YOU NUTS
TIME TO CLEAN SOME HOUSE
BE A MAN OR A MOUSE
WASTE THOSE WHO MAKE IT TOUGH TO GET AROUND
IF YOU LIVE IN A BIG PLACE
MANY FACTIONS BEATEN DOWN
SNAP OUT OF IT MY FRIENDS
THE RIGHT TIME IS RIGHT NOW
PUT THE TAPE ON ERASE
REARRANGE A FACE
WE ALWAYS LIKED PICASSO ANYWAY
MOSH 'EM
