Nerdworld Soundtrack, Bailout/Financial Apocalypse Edition, Part 13: Matchbox Twenty

This is an old song, but I still love it. You know, I remember when it was brand-new. I'm a fossil.

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.

    Is the link missing, or am I?

    Now 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.
