" ...
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

Simon & Garfunkel, "The Sound Of Silence"

"...
When it's time to function as a feeling human being
Will your Bachelor of Arts help you get by?

I hope to study further, a few more years or so
I also hope to keep a steady high
...
Don't you ever see the starvation in the city where you live
All the needless hunger all the needless pain?

I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine
But my neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause they haven't got the time

Thank you for the talk, you know you really eased my mind
I was troubled by the shapes of things to come

Well, if you had my outlook your feelings would be numb
You'd always think that everything was fine"

Chicago, "DIalogue, Part 1"

"...
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

Neil Young, "After The Goldrush"

"...
Though your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Chicago
Just to sing

In a land that's known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair
Won't you please come to Chicago
For the help that we can bring
..."

CSNY, "Chicago"

"...
Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio
...
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
..."

CSNY, "Ohio"

James McMurtry

McMurtry is the son of Larry McMurtry of Lonesome Dove and Last Picture Show fame.

Down the street
The schoolboys play
Dime novel heroes from another day
Who now are nothing more than faceless names
And a nameless face with hands like rain

from James McMurtry's "Hands Like Rain"

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
C'mon talk to me
So you can see
What's going on

"...
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

"...
Think of all the hate there is in Red China,
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama,
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
But when your return, it's the same old place,

"...
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen
