THE CONSUMER - STOMPIN' TOM CONNORS

The consumer, they call us
We're the people that buy
While everyone else is out to sell
Some kind of merchandise
We run to the boss and tell him
We need a bit more gold
Some tax deductions later
And we still wind up in the hole

Chorus:
Oh yes we are the people running in the race
Buying up the bargains in the old marketplace
Another sale on something, we'll buy it while it's hot
And save a lot of money
spending money we don't got

We save a lot of money
spending money we don't got

The consumer, they call us
We always get a fair shake
We buy a fridge that doesn't freeze
And a stove that doesn't bake
We can't buy nothing lasting
Unless we get that raise in pay
Then they'd only charge us more
for the things That cost us less today

The consumer, they call us
We're fussy what we eat
We look at the price of a T-bone steak
And buy hamburg meat
And all those fancy packages
We take down from the shelf
They're always full of good fresh air
When they're not full of nothing else

Chorus

The consumer, they call us
When the man comes in the door
To give us a deal on a vacuum
If we buy a rug for the floor
And how do we pay the finance
When the monthly bills arrive?
They just send down the bailiff
To repossess the car we drive

The consumer is what they call us
We're always deep in debt
From buying drawers in discount stores
To fixing the TV set
We go to the bank for the money
And sign for another loan
And pray the Lord doesn't see us
stop In the tavern halfway home

Bobby by Reba McEntire

Bobby pleaded guilty to the charges that they read
As they led him from the courtroom a young voice turned his head
A little boy dressed in blue was standing at the rail
He said I hope they kill you I hope you go to hell
They put Bobby in a jail with 40 other men they all knew what he had done they were glad to take him in
They'd all seen the headlines about Bobby and his wife
How they loved each other and how he took her life
Day after Day he sat alone night after night they'd hear him sing his song

Chorus:
Baby I'll take care of you
I'll never let you down
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
I am not afraid of what people say and do
The only thing I fear is being here without you

The little boy dressed up in blue grew up to be a man
When he fell in love himself he came to understand
How it was that Bobby took the life they both adored
Cause Bobby couldn't stand to see her suffer anymore
He took out the papers from the trunk beneath his bed
And all the years just dissappeared as through his tears he read
The story of the accident that robbed his mama's mind
and the man who held her in his arms and chose to take her life
And the one about the man who sits alone
Year after year singing his song

Chorus:
Baby I'll take care of you
I'll never let you down
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
I am not afraid of what people say and do
The only thing I fear is being here without you

Bobby drove his car up and parked outside the gate
They led him to a cold grey room the guard told him to wait
When the guard brought Bobby in
the young man finally knew he still missed his mama
but he missed his daddy too
The guard left the two of them alone
He took Bobby in his arms and the young man sang his song
Daddy I'll take care of you I'll never let you down
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
You have taught me not to fear what people say and do
The only thing I fear is being here......without you

I love that song so much!!

I do have one other if it is ok I am sure everyone has heard this song

Concrete Angel by Martina McBride

She walks to school with a lunch she packed
nobody knows what shes holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She Hides the bruises with the linen and lace ooooh

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Chorus:
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete Angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late

Repeat Chorus

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
Her name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot


Repeat Chorus

Another great song!!

Here is another that has made me cry before.

Independence Day by Martina McBride

Well she seemed alright by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinking again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day

Well word gets around in a small small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But mama was proud and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losing end
Some folks whispered, some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day

Chorus:
Let freedom ring, let the white doves sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of
reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the fireman come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me to the county home

Now I ain't saying it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
To talk about your revolutiion
It's Independence Day


Repeat Chorus

Roll the stone away, It's Independence Day

Singapore
Tom Waits

We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny Moor, took off to the land of Nod
Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris
I danced along a colored wind, dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me

We sail tonight for Singapore, don't fall asleep while you're ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die when you hear the children cry
Let marrow bone and cleaver choose while making feet for children shoes
Through the alley, back from hell, when you hear that steeple bell
You must say goodbye to me

Wipe him down with gasoline 'til his arms are hard and mean
From now on boys this iron boat's your home
So heave away, boys

We sail tonight for Singapore, take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door, the whole town's made of iron ore
Every witness turns to steam, they all become Italian dreams
Fill your pockets up with earth, get yourself a dollar's worth
Away boys, away boys, heave away

The captain is a one-armed dwarf, he's throwing dice along the wharf
In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king, so take this ring

We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny Moor, took off to the land of Nod
Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris
I drank along a colored wind, I dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me

Never vote Republican, no matter what.


Unless, of course, for some perverse reason, you wish to cast a vote against gangsterism...



You're a serious, died-in-the-wool gangster, and you succeed beyond
your wildest dreams; you take over the United States and assume the
office of president. What are your first moves going to be?
Basically, you will want to seal off every possible avenue of
political and legal redress against gangsterism which you might have
committed in the past, and against further gangsterism which you might
hope to perpetrate in the future.

You might start by expropriating 1100 raw FBI files on every conceivable political opponent,
and making a database out of them.

http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=1998/12/16/135337

That would pretty much seal off most avenues of political redress. A
next step or several steps might consist of replacing with your own
people as many as possible of the little people, whitehouse career
employees and what not, with whom a president and his entourage must
interact, to eliminate to the extent possible any possibilities of one
of these employees seeing something and then telling reporters about
it.

The episode called Travelgate is one example of this approach.

http://www.counterclintonlibrary.com/VTTravelGate.htm

Next, you will want to neutralize the US Justice Department. To this
end, you might want to hire an attorney general who is politically
ambitious and, at the same time, has so ungodly an assortment of
skeletons in her closet, that she can be absolutely controlled and
prevented from ever allowing any of the justice departments myriad
flashlights from shining in on anything rsembling whitehouse
gangsterism.

Jack Thompson ran against Janet Reno in a Dade County election once,
and has been publically daring Reno, the Florida Bar, and the Democrat
party to sue him for the last ten years. He describes Reno,
occasionally on high-profile radio programs, as a predatory lesbian
who has been stopped with female prostitutes in the back seat of cars
in mall parking lots, who has been pulled over DWI numerous times, and
hwo has major kinds of mob ties.

http://www.mega.nu:8080/ampp/stonewall_renostarr.html


But the major part of Janet Reno's skeleton collection involves
something totally different. In the 1980's, a new variation on the
medieval theme of witchcraft trials arose in America, the so-called
"ritual abuse" trial, using recovered memories as evidence. This
began with the celebrated McMartin case at Manhatten Beach and quickly
spread over the land, every unscrupulous DA in the country trying to
add one such case to his/her resume in much the same manner in which
professional hunters like to have one elephant or one rhino on their
resumes. All except Janet Reno, that is. She made a cottage industry
out of sending people to prison for long periods of time for things
which, not only had they not done, but which in fact had never
happened at all.

Her most famous case, that of decorated Florida policeman Grant Snowden, has been overturned by a federal appeals court after Snowden
spent 13 years in prison.

http://www.ags.uci.edu/~dehill/witchhunt/cases/snowden.htm

In the case of Bobby Fijnje, an innocent 14-year-old boy was held
without bond for 18 months and tried as an adult for more crimes which
never happened. The family was told that unless they copped a plea,
Bobby would be in an adult prison population and would be dead from
AIDS within two years. A jury found Bobby innocent on seven of seven
charges. One of Reno's henchmen, asked what had gone wrong with the
prosecution on which 3 million dollars of the Dade County taxpayers'
money had been spent, replied that they hadn't spent enough money;
new charges were being drawn up the same night and the Fijnje family
fled to Holland.


Fijnje's Father sent an incindiary letter to The NY Times upon learning of Reno's appointment to AG.

http://www.ags.uci.edu/~dehill/witchhunt/ccla/pages/fijnje.htm

But the worst case of all was that of the Fusters.

http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=2000/4/25/93805


This activity was in fact Reno's major claim to fame.

Her concern for children is undoubtedly what caused her to sign off on the Waco deal,
in which a number of children were rescued from more imaginary sexual
abuse by being firebombed (the firebombing was real and not
imaginary).

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/WACO/waco.html

Check the before and after pictures, near the bottom of the www page.
The technique IS effective; I don't think those kids had to worry
about being abused again after Reno finished with them...

Other than that, the use of recovered memories for anything has since
been declared to be a criminal activity in England.

Your next step, as gangster president, might be to have this
well-chosen new attorney general summarily fire and replace all 93
federal attorneys.

http://www.tocquevillian.com/articles/0099.html

Having thus sealed all avenues of political and legal redress and
reasonably assured your own security from external forces, your next
step, as America's first gangster president, might be to try to
achieve some measure of security from INTERNAL forces, i.e. to
commission some sort of a serious psychiatric profile/assessment of
yourself so as to know in which areas your personna might could stand
improvement. Slick, of course, did not do this.

Had he, what would have turned up might have been the following.

http://www.reason.com/9411/fe.efron.9411.html

Your next step, after all of this, would be to turn again to one of
your favorite hobbies and most major skills in life, fundraising, not
only for the purpose of further political campaigns, but also to
insure a ready supply of cash for buying the silence of people who
know too much but who for whatever reason, it would appear clumsy or
mean-spirited to simply kill. Jerome Zeifman, the chief council for
the house judiciary committee at the time of Watergate and the man
most responsible for getting rid of Nixon, noted that he would
impeach Clinton for three obvious cases of bribery, i.e.

Quote:

"In his conduct of the office of the president of the United States,
William J. Clinton has given or received bribes with respect to one or
more of the following:

"(1) Approving, condoning or acquiescing in the surreptitious payment
of bribes for the purpose of obtaining the silence or influencing
the testimony of Webster Hubbell as a witness or potential witness in
criminal proceedings.

"(2) Approving, condoning or acquiescing in the use of political
influence by Vernon Jordan in obtaining employment for the purpose of
obtaining the silence or influencing the testimony of Monica Lewinsky
as a witness or potential witness in civil or criminal proceedings;
and

"(3) Approving, condoning or acquiescing in the receipt of bribes in
connection with the issuance of an executive order which had the
effect of giving Indonesia a monopoly on the sale of certain types of
coal."


Item three, in fact, clearly shows the worst aspects of democrat
gangsterism. The real problem here is that the democrats no longer
truly represent anybody who could support a political party either in
terms of money or in terms of votes, and so they are seen raising cash
in every country on earth other than the United States in which they
supposedly live, and trying to forge voting majorities out of
collections of little imaginary victim groups.

The fundraising activities, in particular, are highly leveraged in
that very large items of national treasure and assets are being sold
off for relatively miniscule sums of campaign cash. In the case of
Utahgate which Zeifman mentions as item 3, something like a trillion
dollars was pulled out of the American economy for the benefit of
Clinton's Lippo buddies in Indonesia, whose donations to the various
slick slush funds could not have amounted to more than a few tens of
millions at most.

The costs to the country of Slicks Chinese deals are similarly
massive, including a large and growing trade imbalance along with the
illegal technology transfers we've read about. Slick taking money
from the chicom army is no different in principle from the idea of FDR
taking campaign donations from Hitler or Stalin. Ask yourself why FDR
never did that; try to imagine how happy it would have made old uncle
Adolph to be able to control Washington D.C. for a few measly million
here and there to the democratic campaign funds.

Having thus taken care of every mundane problem and care associated
with running the vast and complex machinery of the United States
government, your next concern as gangster president would probably be
to get in on the most major perk which the job entails:

P - U - S - S - Y............

One rather unfortunate aspect of life as a gangster is that it does
not teach one the virtue of moderation. One of the Tripp tapes,
according to internet sources, has Monica asking Slick why he doesn't
simply pay Paula Jones off and have done with it. Slick answers that
they'd all come up and want money if he did that; Monica replies "All
of them?? How many could there be??" and Slick replies "Hundreds..."

There are several inherent problems with trying to
set the numeric records ala Don Giovanni and make it
with literally hundreds of different women over a course of a
few years. One is that the first thing which goes straight out
the window is any notion of quality; you'll see these guys come
home with Marilyn Monroe one night, and then either Phyllis Diller
or Aunt Jemima the next, with the same stupid ****-eating grin
on their faces, since it's all really just the same to them.

Another problem in the case of politicians is that they make
prime targets for blackmail and manipulation of themselves by
conducting themselves like that. Slick couldn't get the simplest
kind of security clearance which you'd need to be a janitor or a
guard at the gate at any military base in America, and he's
supposed to be commander in chief of our armed forces. That's
insane.

Another problem in the case of liberals particularly, is that
it appears to be a vanishingly small step from believing oneself
above man's laws to believing oneself above things like the laws of
physics and the law of averages. For instance, thinking "I'm a
Kennedy; there's no reason on Earth why I shouldn't be able to ski
downhill, operate a camcorder, and play football all at the same time,
the trees will get out of the way!" Or, in the case of Slick,
thinking he could put the make on 50 different women in one day, and
that all 50 would be happy about it.

Something like that could lead to a psychic problem with taking "no"
for an answer and, if we're to believe even a small fraction of what
we read, it has. The claim which you read around the net is that the
Paula Jones testimony includes something like a dozen different
allegations of sexual assault and rape, that Slick has been out of
control for a long time, and that a professional organization has been
in place to keep a lid on this by means of bribery, intimidation, and
whatever else gets the job done, and that this has invariably worked
because, in each individual case, you had some poor woman on her own
without any real resources up against an organization with the
resources of one of the fifty states.

Documentation for these claims is not difficult to find on the net.

http://chblue.com/Feb1999/022599/clintonwomen022599.htm

In particular, it is not possible that Hillary Clinton has not known
about all of this very nearly from day one.

Given this lack of moderation, it will sometimes happen that, despite
all precautions and despite the workings of a spin machine which puts
the Nazi German propaganda organ of Joseph Goebbels to shame, some
sort of an unflattering story about rape, porking teenage interns,
lying about rape or porking teenage interns, or some particularly
flagrant act of fundraising daring-do will begin to take up an
uncomfortable amount of space in the headlines of the nation's
newspapers. What does the gangster president do then?

The answer is obvious. The president of the United States, in these
days and times, has the power to start wars, and nothing can compete
for front page newspaper space with a good war. We thus have
witnessed three of these dog-wagging episodes within one year.

The first case involved blowing up an aspirin factory in Sudan,
apparently with the approval of no more than one of the joint chiefs
(the rotten apple in that particular barrel).

http://www.mega.nu:8080/ampp/khartoumbomb.html

The second dog-wagging episode involved bombing Iraq the day before
Slick was to be impeached...

http://www.salisburypost.com/editorials/editorial121798.htm

The standard definition of "chutzvah" in Yiddish dictionaries involved
the example of the kid who murdered his parents and then demanded
leniency because he was an orphan. That will change. The new
definition will use the example of the president who starts a war the
day before he's impeached and then has some flunky like Dick Gephardt
try to keep his face straight while claiming that it's unpatriotic to
start an impeachment with a war in progress.

But the prize of them all was dog-wagging episode III (to take the
Broaddrick story off the front pages) , in which a totally innocent
slavic orthodox Christian nation was bombed into the stone age for the
benefit of white trash, narco-terrorists, and barbarians. I mention
the fact that Serbia is a slavic orthodox Christian nation because
Russia is also a slavic orthodox Christian nation, i.e. because this
third dog-wagging episode involved the risk of a thermonuclear war.

Any serious research into this one will reveal that the Western public
was fed an unadulterated diet of BS from the NATO propaganda organ,
the Clinton spin machine, and a shiftless Western establishment media
which simply included the propaganda on its pages and called it news
rather than doing any real reporting. Moreover, the entire picture of
the situation in the Balkans which the West has seen in its media over
the last decade is rendered hugely suspect since it arises from the
same kinds of sources.

Any sort of a thorough research will turn up the reality that the
whole problem in Kosovo was always the Albanian Kosovars and not the
Serbs. The present problems seemingly began with Miloshevich
rescinding the autonomy of the region in 1989.


The truth is that he had no options, and that all other ethnic groups in Kosovo were being
brutalized by the Albanian Kosovars.

http://www.srpska-mreza.com/ddj/Kosovo/articles/Binder87NYT.htm


Further readings and articles from the 80's tell much the same story:

http://members.tripod.com/~sarant_2/ksm.html


What about before that? The truth is that, despite the endless
villification and demonization which they come in for from the Clinton
spin machine and the NATO propaganda arm, the Serbs are the closest
thing there is to normal, rational, decent people in the balkans.
They fought with the allies in WW-II and in fact held Hitler for seven
months and sent him into Russia in the dead of winter rather than on
schedule, but for which the whole world might be sporting swastikas
now.


They in fact saved 500 allied airmen who were shot down on raids
over Ploesti and other targets in the region.

http://www.geocities.com/kumbayaaa/yugosavingallies.html

Needless to say, any allied airman who was ever shot down over one of
the states surrounding Serbia was killed. The states surrounding Serbia all sided with Hitler.

http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/thompson/rootsof.htm

The Serbs paid a horrific price for all of this. Hundreds of
thousands of them were murdered, many in Nazi-style death camps set up
in the surrounding states.

Nonetheless, history does not count for much amongst gangsters.
Clinton and his NWO pals had numerous reasons for wishing to dismantle
Yugoslavia, not the least of which was the 5 - 20 trillion in mineral
wealth of the Trepca mines. Check out:

http://www.tenc.net

for background materials on that sort of topic.

The "Racak massacre" which Clinton and Albright used as a pretext for
the NATO action turns out to be more propaganda BS.

http://www.emperors-clothes.com/analysis/meetmr.htm

and the Rambouillet ultimatum, particularly Appendix B, section 8,
which the Serbs refused to sign, turns out to look like something
which King George might have written.

No nation on Earth would ever sign off on such a thing.

http://www.state.gov/www/regions/eur/ksvo_rambouillet_text.html">

It turns out that the entire case against Serbia was never anything
but a bunch of bullshit.


There was never any "ethnic cleansing" going on,

http://www.iraqwar.org/germanreport.htm

and

there was never anything remotely like genocide going on.

http://www.counterpunch.org/biglie.html

nothing but a bunch of fabricated bullshit and a bunch of poor sorry
people (Serbs) having to defend themselves against an armed
insurrection supported and supplied by outside powers.

The laws of war have changed substantially since the end of WW-II.
The kinds of things we were doing to the Japanese and Germans, legal
then, would be war crimes now. In the Kosovo operation, American
forces knew that they had a tough and dangerous adversary to deal with
and they knew that they also were doing this for an utterly base and
ignoble cause which they could not possibly ask any NATO pilot to die
for, and that dog-wagging was again involved. They therefore limited
all operations to 15,000 feet or higher. When they discovered that
they could not harm the Serbian military from that height, they
embarked upon an entire series of war crimes, such as bombing out
bridges in the middle of little towns like Varvarin in the middle of
the day when, guaranteed, nothing was going to be on them other than
people like Sanja Milenkovic running errands. It thus comes as no
surprise that even Amnesty International is accusing NATO of war
crimes now. Aside from that, they began to bomb out the entire
civilian infrastructure of Serbia, including factories, water plants,
electrical grids, and basically everything the civilian population of
Serbia needs to stay alive. That's all criminal activity.


Walter Rockler, a surviving American prosecutor from the Nuremberg
trubunal, claims that NATO is every bit as guilty of war crimes as the
nazis were.

So much for William J. (Slick) Clinton, our first gangster president.
Everybody who reads pretty much knows what Clinton is about by now.
Many are still deluded inasmuch as they like to believe that it's
possible for a guy like Slick to end up in charge of a good cause by
some perverse quirk of fate. That doesn't happen in the real world; a
guy like Slick being in charge of a cause invariably means the cause
is messed up.

The Chicago mob was not a charitable organization which ended
up under Al Capone via a stroke of bad luck; The German nazi party
was not a religious order which ended up under Hitler due to a chance
misfortune. The Kommunisticheskaya partiya in Russia did not fall
under the sway of Stalin due to an isolated fluke or unlikely event,
and the democratic party in America is not under the Clintons due to
any quirk of fate.

How is "never vote for republicans, no matter what" relevant? I was simply responding to something I saw.

A signature? That is hardly "edgarblythe wrote". We are all free to express ourselves in our taglines, presumably without the threat of being called on it. Still, your post remains completely irrelevant to this thread. If you want to talk politics, do it in the proper forum.

Okie From Muskogee

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don't take no trips on LSD
We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin' right, and bein' free.

I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

We don't make a party out of lovin';
We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen.
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.

Fightin Side of Me



I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.
An' I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'.
When they're runnin' down my country, hoss,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.

You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

The Way It Was In %1 - Merle Haggard

Sixty-Six was still a narrow two-lane highway
Harry Truman was the man who ran the show
The bad Korean war was just begining
And I was just three years too young to go
Country Music hadn't gone to New York City yet
And a service man was proud of what he'd done
Hank and Lefty crowded ev'ry jukebox
That's the way it was in fifty one.

There's so much about the good old days I'd love to tell
And there's folks around I know still remember well
Slow dancin' close together when a ballad played
'Cause a thing called Rock and Roll was yet to come
It was a big year for a drive-in rest'rant carhop
That's the way it was in fifty one.

That's the way it was in fifty one.

Yeah! Hank and Lefty crowded ev'ry jukebox
Oh Lord That's the way it was in fifty one.

Hell Is For Children by Pat Benatar

They cry in the dark so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget all the while
Love and pain become one in the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

It's all so confusing this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes and then apologize
Be Daddy's little girl and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy and you'll get a new toy
Tell Grandma you fell off the swing
Because Hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

No Hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

hell is for children
Hell is for children

As an aside, I never read long spamming posts. How many good points may or may not be made is immaterial. I simply don't care.
