New REM song "Final Straw"
http://www.remhq.com/finalStraw/finalstraw.html
This is the strongest voice I could think of to send out there. We had to send something out there now. We are praying and hoping for the lives of all people involved, the troops, the Iraqi civilians, refugees, pow's, families of troops, the innocents-- that they are safe and okay. Safe home, all. --Michael Stipe [this is a rough mix from the studio] CLICK BELOW TO LISTEN TO: FINAL STRAW Windows Media Player FINAL STRAW Quicktime As I raise my head to broadcast my objection As your latest triumph draws the final straw Who died and lifted you up to perfection? And what silenced me is written into law. I can't believe where circumstance has thrown me And I turn my head away If I look I'm not sure that I could face you. Not again. Not today. Not today. If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected There's a voice in me that says you will not win. And if I ignore the voice inside, Raise a half glass to my home. But it's there that I am most afraid, And forgetting doesn't hold. It doesn't hold. Now I don't believe and I never did That two wrongs make a right. If the world were filled with the likes of you Then I'm putting up a fight. Putting up a fight. Putting up a fight. Make it right. Make it right. Now love cannot be called into question. Forgiveness is the only hope I hold. And love-- love will be my strongest weapon. I do believe that I am not alone. For this fear will not destroy me. And the tears that have been shed It's knowing now where I am weakest And the voice in my head. In my head. Then I raise my voice up higher And I look you in the eye And I offer love with one condition. With conviction, tell me why. Tell me why. Tell me why. Look me in the eye. Tell me why. |

Pretty good. Much better than that God awful Beastie Boys song. I think they are too old to play the kind of music they do, their lyrics just seem trite and formula anymore.

I will perform sexual favors for an mp3. My shitty-ass computer can't handle this.
