This song opens with a few tense moments like those at the beginning of "Gimme Shelter" and moves into a sledgehammer riff highlighted by Farner's driving guitar. They lyrics are not exactly heavy ("if we had a president that did just what he said, the country would be alright." George Wallace?) but the arrangement and solid instrumentation give the song a feeling of resolute conviction that gets the message across perfectly.

@ladyluvspink Is Romney going to be another puppet?

Actually, they were named for the Grand TRUNK Railroad, but replaced the word FUNK for obvious reasons. Best Michigan born-and-bred band ever.

Kennedy's death was the downfall of this country! Mark is not talking about George Wallace! He's talking about someone who can withstand the corruption of money! Fighting is a word that causes big men to get rich! There's money in this war and peace now aint this a bitch!!

If you think that this country is for the people, by the people, you are dead wrong. The fat cats in Washington killed the last real president we had, that mother fuckin johnson. Every president since Kennedy was nothing but a puppet including Obama. Rise up people and take back what is ours. If they want war, lets give it to them. I know I'm sick of this bullshit tyrannical Government!!!!!
