From the spokesman and bard of the common people, Bruce Springsteen.
Once again, Bruce rises up and denounces the tyrant, in his usual eloquent form.

"Someone is getting rich while someone's kids are dying"

From the new Springsteen album, MAGIC, this is "Last To Die"


We took the highway till the road went black
We'd marked, Truth Or Consequences on our map*
A voice drifted up from the radio
And I thought of a voice from long ago

Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake

The kids asleep in the backseat
We're just counting the miles, you and me
We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore
We just stack the bodies outside the door

Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake

The wise men were all fools, what to do

The sun sets in flames as the city burns
Another day gone down as the night turns
And I hold you here in my heart
As things fall apart

A downtown window flushed with light
"Faces of the dead at five" (faces of the dead at five)
Our martyr's silent eyes
Petition the drivers as we pass by

Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die

Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Darlin' your tyrants and kings fall to the same fate
Strung up at your city gates
And you're the last to die for a mistake

Unlike Bush, Springsteen still has millions who believe in him.
And unlike Bush, Springsteen speaks the truth.

Springsteen hasn't been relevant since the mid '80s.

Bush has never been relevant. Except to the Saudis. And to Osama.

Oh, the guy that sounds like a constipated Joe Cocker wanna be...... yawn. More "who could possibly give a shit" from the left.:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2: His next song could be"I got rich while people with real talent couldn't get a record deal".

Yep, like all has beens there comes a time to reach at the controversial to jump start a career. Springsteen has always sucked, and always will.

Somebody jokingly told Springsteen he could sing and he's been trying too ever since.

Jewish neocons find him very useful. He launched the Iraq war and secured Israel's position in the middle east. He was too dumb to know that, but they did...
