1987's "Document"
"They're going wild," the call came in
At early morning pre-dawn, then
"The followers of chaos out of control
They're numbering the monkeys
The monkeys and the monkeys,
The followers of chaos out of control"
The call came in to Party Central
"Meeting of the green and simple,"
Try to tell us something we don't know
"They're meeting at the monument,"
The call came in the monument
To liberty and honour under the honour roll
"They've gathered up the cages" the cages and courageous
"The followers of chaos out of control"
The call came in to Party Central
"Meeting of the green and simple"
Try to tell us something we don't know
"Disturbance at the Heron House"
"A stampede at the monument"
To liberty and honour under the honour roll
The gathering of grunts and greens
Cogs and grunts and hirelings
A meeting of a mean idea to hold
"When feeding time has come and gone
They'll lose the heart and head for home
Try to tell us something we don't know"
We don't know

This song has held steady in my R.E.M. top ten for, what, 25 years now? Quite an achievement, considering the body of work, which still had its moments even after Bill Berry left.
-
best song off of Document, hands down
-
This one if in my top 20 of REM, Love this song!!
-
REM officially broke up Wednesday this past week. this is definitely my all time favorite REM song. Saw them play this live in a downpour in Pittsburgh about 5-6 years ago.

SidTucker, give a listen to "Leave" from New Adventures in Hi-Fi. It's so good it gives me chills. I have to admit, though, that REM lost a lot of its magic for me when Bill Berry left.
