Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
Robert F. Kennedy
`Pounding on the Door`
We`re all winning medals
Voting monkeys in
Looking to the heavens
Hoping right will win
But there`s no guarantees, no rewards
The heir apparent is a fraud
But that`s all right -- we`re all alone tonight
Pounding on the door of wrong and right
Someone`s burning forests
The sky is black and blue
The ash is dead atomic
I`m just as scared as you
There are no safety nets you can deploy
No diamond truths they can`t destroy
But that`s all right -- we`re all alone tonight
Pounding on the door of wrong and right
Take the scales from your eyes
Take the plastic from your mouth
So blind -- you and me...
"Wave your flags of reason..."
Our blinded leaders cry
We`ve trashed the Fields of Eden
We`ve torn the bloodied sky
There are no prayers, no guarantees
Deaf dumb and blind down on our knees
But that`s all right -- we`re all alone tonight
Pounding on the door of wrong and right
