| The Twilight Zone-'To Serve Man' |
Election 2012 approaches and billions will be raised and spent for a chance to "serve the people" True motives must be questioned. Besides. serving people is not a phrase that is lost on me , or any other Twilight Zone fan. To serve man........
The Twilight Zone "To Serve Man"
Unlimited government spending, bully politics and rule by executive order raise serious questions about true liberty, rights and justice. I cant say it much better than a great rock band Steppenwolf. Decades old, timeless lyrics.
Monster/Suicide/America Lyrics
Performed by Steppenwolf
Words and music by John Kay, Jerry Edmonton, Nick St. Nicholas and Larry Byrom
Once the religious, the hunted and weary Chasing the promise of freedom and hope Came to this country to build a new vision Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches Later some got slaves to gather riches
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
And once the ties with the crown had been broken Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland We began the slaughter of the red man
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild But she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light
The blue and gray they stomped it They kicked it just like a dog And when the war was over They stuffed it just like a hog
And though the past has it's share of injustice Kind was the spirit in many a way But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping Now it's a monster and will not obey
The spirit was freedom and justice And it's keepers seem friendly and kind It's leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people got fat and grew lazy
Now their vote is like a meaningless joke You know they talk about law, about order But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
'Cause there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'
Our cities have turned into jungles And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there No matter who wins, you know we can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into the noose And it just sits there watching
America where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now We can't fight alone against the monster
America where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now We can't fight alone against the monster
America where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now We can't fight alone against the monster
America where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now We can't fight alone against the monster America
