well can somebody explain to me what is so great about lou reed? i´ve listened to a couple of his songs and in my opinion his lyrics are average and his vocals are very poor, guitar is unimpressive at best. i´m not a hater, i just want to know what i´m missing here.
Self-knowledge is a dangerous thing - the freedom of who you are. Now there's an interesting comment. Anybody knows what Uncle Lou refers to? Over-analysing oneself kills sponteneity and vitality, something like that?
THX, vivemaker! Would you consider posting the all the lyrics? ---Pretty fu*#in' sad that he wrote this around 1989 . . . and still, nobody's listening. Not in Amerikka, anyway.
This is no time for Celebration / this is no time for Shaking Heads / this is no time for Backslapping / this is no time for Marching Bands / this no time for Optimism / this is no time for Endless Thought / this is no time for my country Right or Wrong / remember what that brought - Lou Reed

The lyrics are wrong. I just posted the correct ones at Metro Lyrics, though they aren't visible yet.

@Cigarshark1 dangerous to the oppressors, as I understand it
seeing that the preceding line is "this is no time to NOT know who you are."
and yeah, this song shook my world 20 years ago, and it still does, pertinent as ever. Respect to the uploader!

@vivemaker Thank you! We should build a political movement for The Rest of Us around songs like this.
