You Are Following This Time…

R.E.M. – Finest Worksong

Back to the earth
I screamed
And no one listened to me

Rusted Root
Back to the Earth

There’s a map that’s washed ashore.
Will you find it and burn it?

Capital Cities
One Minute More

The time to rise has been engaged
You’re better best to rearrange
I’m talking here to me alone
I listen to the finest work song
Your finest hour, your finest hour

Another chance has been engaged
To throw Thoreau and rearrange
You are following this time
I beg you not, beg to rhyme (blow your horn)
Your finest hour (blow your horn), your finest hour

Take your instinct by the reins
Your better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused been confused (blow your horn)
Your finest hour (blow your horn), your finest hour

All my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn

Peter Gabriel
In Your Eyes

Take your instinct by the reins
Better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused been confused (blow your horn)
Your finest hour (blow your song)
Your finest hour (blow your horn)
Your finest hour (blow your song)
Your finest hour

It was always burning,
since the world’s been turning

Billy Joel
We Didn’t Start the Fire

I get so tired of working so hard
for our survival

Peter Gabriel
In Your Eyes
