: The Two Bums
: By Utah Phillips: The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
: The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined
: And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that’s bad
: Will great the other with a winning smile and extend the hand so glad
: The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occasional bite
: The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night
: The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
: But it takes the labor of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal
: As long as we sanction the bum on the plush, the other will always be there
: But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will disappear
: Let’s make an intelligent organized kick; get rid of the weights that crush
: Don’t worry about the bum on the rods, get rid of the bum on the plush!
Jeff 'Blind Lemon' Perry
The bum on the street is alive and he sings
He's free of the rules of the state,
The bum with the gun sings a vicious song
Leaders give him a gong
The bum on the street don't want much
Some wine, some food but I got a feeling a curse
That if the cash came their way
They'd be just the same as everybody else,
Though of a more generous kind,
His he the scum are we all maggots
Squirming and twisting and helping each other
Anarchy take over then sleaze and crime will enivatable follow
Because afterall anarchy is just an excuse to do whatever we wish
Steal, crime, drugs anarchy an excuse what's your's is mine,
Capitalism is a pseudonyms for anarchy
Do you believe it if its only the few who care who share who live
who love who are free and kind, and these people will live in peace
and harmony without no law to order themselves about,
Check out your anarchist he'll follow the laws and they'll
soon surmount and the anarchist will dig his hand into the cookie jar he's in charge of, Angels of the highest degree of tenderness should be alive with colour and energy free away out in space, spreading a life so vibrant like the sun shining burning blazing out of their hearts,
Total trust and well being with mortals who walk, dance like a child intense living light. I love life and feel so sorry that every one seems to choose; anarchy, communism, capitalism, marxism, name leaders in control Jesus, Lenin, Marx, Sid, leaders in control of the masses, anarchy is a dream, but only dream like every other theory that came and went. What difference does it make the world just exploded tomorrow, no point in being a miserable anarchist full of the politics of the world and pathetic in that you can't achieve anything and you have no say, we live we die, live be happy be alive care, share, show your blazing light of inteligence. The world is the way that it is because, the people are the way that they are, and the tracts of greed are in all of us, money or we will die, I have lived the life of a bum and it was wonderful I have met bums aplenty, and they did seem to be very concerned about the cash in their pockets while I knew that the riches lay off over a majestic landscape of snow mountains and trees and blue lakes and creatures of innocence, playing running leaping flying to transform myself in to a love eagle flying around the world just wishing that everyone should be an individual free of all rules and responsibilities. Divinty golden silver light emmitting from my soul, just wish for little things and not expecting more like some of my anarchist friends asking for more, greed, don't want to work, just like the ruling classes, every one work and die for me, just like the ruling classes but on a different level, surplus wealth stolan from the poor and put into the social system, The surplus wealth makes the unemployed, and we'll have everything that we need and yet still plead poverty, when off away people starve and die so we can live off their surplus. Do you think that would should give the country to people who are inexperienced in organising a system that is so massive and expect them to encorporate their new ways into this society. Equal shares for everyone now would probalbly mean that we'd have to work all the hours we could just for a bowl of rice, I don't think many people would be to happy with that idea. We live in a material world of competitiion and unhappyness, the spiritual world is the place of love and peace. Choose your own life and feel as good as you possible can by doing good deeds, There's only one way of life and that's your own, forget about the people who want to rope you in to some kind of organisation, self sufficient people- unafraid of death who live to the highest degree.
None.
