Take That and That and That

I ain't looking for Jesus,
yeah he's gone
I ain't looking for no god,
to call upon
I'm just looking for some truth
and a way to keep movin' on
I'm just looking for a world
that ain't gone so wrong

I ain't lookin' for a gun
to even the score
I ain't lookin' for no hate
don't need that no more
I'm just hopin' that we don't
start Armageddon
I'm just lookin' for a world
that ain't gone so wrong

I ain't no fat cat who wants
a bailout from Washington
But I ain't lookin' to have my kids
live in a slum
I'm just lookin' for what's real
I hope it's darkest before the dawn
I'm just lookin' for a world
that ain't gone so wrong

I ain't lookin' for no
perfect world
I ain't lookin' to salute
any flag at all
I'm just lookin' for some strength
and the will to carry on
I'm just lookin' for a world
that ain't gone so wrong

If you heard DOA's new record, Talk - Action = 0, was good you have been lied to. It is fucking great. Sounds like Joe was not trying so hard to write great songs; when you have been around as long as he has that is hard to do. The result is the sort of honest immediacy that makes for the best rock 'n' roll.

Take that disco motherfuckers.

Thanks for this one Beer. I tracked down some of the new DOA album on the internet. I've been reading about the slums that African packing house workers live in and the dormitories for Chinese factory workers and the shanty towns for Mexican maquilladora workers. I know some old people in their fifties and sixties who are putting their shit in storage and getting ready to move into their cars. All this so some asshole can own ten mansions in ten countries and have a yacht on either coast. Americans, for the most part, are taking this lying down but it is against the law to lie on the sidewalk.

Don't we all. I am hoping it will be released on one of Michael Jackson's upcoming releases.
