Liberal songs

Alguns meses atrás a National Review escolheu as "top 50 conservative rock songs of all time". It actually kind of sucks, mas me fez pensar em como seria fácil fazer uma lista das top liberal songs (lembrando que o "liberal" aqui é no sentido americano de esquerda).

Fiz meu top 5. Elas falam sobre pontos clássicos da esquerda: Anti-polícia, Anti-ricos, Anti-guerra, and the usual "we are so nice" themes. Não estou incluindo músicas que eu não gosto (e por isso deixo de fora coisas como esta do Eminem). Here it goes:

5 - Cop Killer Body Count
4 - Eat the rich Aerosmith
3 - War Pigs Black Sabbath
2 - Imagine John Lennon

E a grande campeã:
1 - The Logical Song Supertramp

The Logical Song é simplesmente perfeita: (grifei minhas partes preferidas)

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me

But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical

And they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am

Now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal

Oh won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're Acceptable,
respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable

At night when all the world's asleep
The questions run soo deep
For such a simple man

Won't you please,
please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am!
