Part of the lyrics evoke (for me, anyway) the feelings of the unhappy modern American taxpayer ("I've been cheated . . . I've been wronged"). Another part of the lyrics seems to resonate with the whole idea of nonsensical, money-grubbing, power-grabbing policymakers and their attitude toward that unhappy American taxpayer ("I want to push you around . . . I want to push you down . . . I want to take you for granted . . . I will, I will!")
I give you . . . "Push" by Matchbox Twenty.

ReplyDeleteNow that you're at 13 songs, what happens when you play them consecutively, 13 times? Does the economy come crashing down and require a 700 billion dollar bailout by the government? Oh, I see.
What about the best movies to watch the collapse to?
