Presidential campaign theme songs 2004 [Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2004, 2:07 pm]

Okay, so I was listening to this song a few days ago, called "Do not", by a guy named John Reuben. He's got some very cleverly-written songs, and this one was all about being individual and how others weren't respecting him. Well, there's this one oft-repeated line in the song that goes,

"DO NOT, tell me what I can & cannot do when I rock."

After hearing that over & over again, it actually started sounding like,

"DO NOT, tell me what I can & cannot do in Iraq."

So funny - it makes me burst out laughing every time I hear it now. It's like the George W. Bush anthem or something. It's funny how things fit together sometimes.

Speaking of which, perhaps John Kerry should have a campaign theme song as well. Ah! I've found the perfect one. The band Petra comes through yet again:


"Chameleon"

"You want the best of both worlds
But you're not getting either
You seem content to ride the fence
When you know which side is greener

Some run hot, some run cold
Some run from their maker
Some run the risk of losing out
With lukewarm friends and fakers

Chameleon
You blend with your surroundings
Chameleon
No one knows where you come from
Chameleon
You change with every situation
Compromising dedication

You compromise each word you say so innoffensively
You only want to hide behind your anonymity
You struggle for acceptance
And it takes you to extremes
The smile you hide your face behind
Is not all that it seems

Come out, come out
Come out from among them
Come out, come out
Come out and be free

There is no gray, no neutral ground
There's only black and white
And nothing in between the two
Can turn a wrong into right
There is no time for your charade
You've got to make your stand
When salt has lost its savor
The world becomes so bland"
