"Make You Crazy" Brett Dennen
You know it's hard to be yourself,
free yourself, to see yourself
When all around you there are lies just to get you,
Spies just to get you, to buy so they can get you

There are cameras in the sky, lasers in our living rooms
There are wolves watching wearing sheep's costumes

Isn't it a shame the way we cheat each other, treat each other,
beat each other?
It's a shame the way we use one other, abuse one another,
and screw one another, it's true.

I think this song is very relevant to the 1930s.
ReplyDeleteIts enough to make you go crazy seems like it comes straight from the mouths of the proletariat for generations, almost every generation since the industrial revolution, since then things have only progressed to insane. The lines about prison seem to resound today as much as they would in the 1930s.I enjoyed the songs laid back feel as the nonchalant attitude sort of reflects the comedic stance on such issues that some of us would dramatize a lot differently then again may be not see: Colbert Report, and The Daily Show
