Vote, Work, and Roll (new Frank’s Enemy lyric)
As I get the websites together, I’m going to record a few new Frank’s Enemy tunes. We’ve kind of gotten more political with 2002′s Enraged, and this is mostly still in that vein. Here’s a my first draft of a Frank’s Enemy song about the prospect of a Barack Obama (or Hillary Clinton, or any other liberal candidate’s) presidency, inspired by the words you see below, as I discovered in a post at reason hit and run.
Vote Work And Roll
Change for a better future is ahead
Take the living from the dead
Put the god damned war to bed
Knock up poverty instead
To be so primed and packaged
Every needle with its thread
Seems the world has found its head
And reactions have all fled
Don’t you know the Bush is dead
But he left the table set
With which to aid and abet
With which to give and to get
So many wars you can select
Our enemies will not expect
Surveillance and wiretaps
Coup de gras is call in SWAT
So vote and work
And work and roll
Over and over
Over and out
The goods of the nation
Requiring intervention
Invoking mediation
Forego association
Limit procreation
Outlaw recreation
Controlled compensation
Destroyed incorporation
Individualization
In transformation
To united notions
In endless devotion
The agenda is in motion
The mixing of the potion
All hope of function
Is set to injunction




So does this comment button work?
Ahhhh! Burn This Record! One of my favorite albums of all time! Too bad I only have it on an ancient cassette….
Haven’t yet found a comments button anywhere I would have expected one – left this by clicking on the comment about the comments button. Hmmmm….
Thanks for reminding me of this album! Wonder if I have a working cassette deck somewhere.

Congrats on being the first non-me commmenter on Not Silent. Why don’t you get Hardcore For Jesus for $10 while you can (plug plug)? Burn This Record is on it….
