Somehow I have only found Phil tonight, but wow I am pleased I finally have!

What is our brave youth fighting and dying for? The wealth of the monopoly corporatists, globalists, world bankers , wall street executives and the financial elite. Phil knew it way back then and I was brainswashed into believing that he was wrong and that war was for a just cause. What a fool I was.

Probably always relevant, even in the future.

@usetobefast I agree, they are more or less the same, but I don't see the "Dems good" part you take issue with. The only images are the US and Canadian leaders who were in power at the time the video was uploaded, and a couple of truly despicable human beings from the media and business world. I don't think that equates to an endorsement of the Democrats.

this song fits today just as it did back then!! SAD!! VERY SAD!!

My brother died over in Iraq in 2007 and I LOVE THIS VIDEO.

I'd love to post this to FB, great song, but the Repubs bad/ Dems good images just kill it for me. They're all creeps to me. But that image of Ken Lay is killer tho. 2 thumbs up on that one!

He calls this a melody?

Occupy the homes the banksters stole! Occupy homes on FB

@callofpatoody You can't feed a family with minimum wage.

How sad, that Phil's lyrics are still so painfully relevant to this day. They ought to be in some kind of museum, but we haven't learned jack shit
