There's a monster on the loose, It's got our heads into a noose... (Page 1/6)

I know some of you old geezers remember those words. They have been echoing in my head a lot lately.

"America where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster"

From 1968 - 54 years ago:

Good song, great lyrics.

Funny that the song was originally written to protest the Establishment, and now the words apply so well to the actions of the unhinged Left.

But the Left was unhinged when the words were written and I was a member of Students for a Democratic Society....

Things just go round and round.....

LBJ was in the White House. The "Unhinged Left" was the establishment then, just as it is now.

I loved this band, still do. So many good songs with deeper meaning that my young mind at the time could understand.
As I grew older the meaning has more of a point.

Some of our brothers and sisters don't realize what they are willingly giving up. The comment "shouldn't we be looking for more offshore purchases to help bring prices down" This is how lost people are. They would rather spend less money more often than buy a better product made here in the states. They would support slave labor as long as they didn't have to see it. So many blind eyes.

I don't listen to newer music, is there even a voice out there any more?
So much has changed but its the same bs agenda just better at reaching the sheep.

<Raising hand>

Yep. This song has been applicable for a long time. Can be applied to lots of different situations.

(Kind of funny that it's the first track on the album, with "From Here To There, Eventually", being the closer.)

Edit - I was reading a bit about John Kay. Seems he lives in the hills, in the Nashville area, now. Seems like a really interesting person.

Maybe in '69, but I'm sure we're all eternally grateful to LBJ for getting us armpit-deep in 'Nam, several years before that. (That whole Tonkin Gulf thing.)
And then there was the whole welfare state agenda. ("We'll have N*****s voting Democrat for years". ) What a prince of a human being.

"Great Society", my ass...
