This song is emblematic of the culture that the elites sneer at and ignore,and yet we somehow managed to elect our new president.

It showcases Reich's work with phasing techniques where a sample or melody is played together and moves in and out of sync.

I've used 'It's Gonna Rain II' to blow people's minds in the past.

"You bastards over-looking street arts, better yet street smarts"

"...you must go..."

An old-school anthem we used to take to mean as 'anti-nazi skinhead' and now reminds me of some of the the alt-right youth of today.

Quote:

"Fight The Youth"

And now another story of stolen faith and tragic glory
They claim to be your friends but all the while they taunt you with lies
They tell you what to think and how to face the world around you
You never question what you know inside is lax and untrue

But take a look around
We're not running anymore
We're in the positive
But we're ready for the war...For the war

Fight the Youth--
The Youth with poisoned minds
Ignite the truth--
Restore sight to these blind
Fight the youth--
The youth with poisoned minds
And if they suffer it's no fault but their own

And every time I see the hatred that engulfs these children
It makes me wonder if the quest for peace will someday subside
I'm not afraid to wage the hopeless battles I must fight
For I could never lose, I know my cause shines in the light

Take a look around
We're not hiding anymore
Your weapon's cowardice
And we won't take it anymore...Anymore

And all the feelings of a generation fed with anger
Make all the choices for a future where all nightmares come true
I choose to fight for youth, to fight for truth, to fight for justice
I choose to heal the wounds of sacrifice made by the children

Country musicians weren't exactly united by their love of Trump. Just sayin'.

I don't know how much of a failure you have to be as a Republican to get Garth Brooks to oppose you, the guy is virtually made out of redneck.
