Even when they tore the wall down

Added Serj Tankian's Elect The Dead, whose song "The Sky is Over" has ben helpful to me for reconciling pain in a beautiful way, and Radiohead's Amnesiac, which I feel I am, after years and years, am finally,  only now appreciating, to my ever growing Working List of Most Beautiful Albums Ever Made. Amnesiac always used to make me feel strange, uncomfortable, lonely, destitute. Somehow I am now meetings its strange forelorn beauty half way.

Dollars and Cents

There are weapons, we can use 
Be constructive 
With your blues 

Even when they tore the wall down 
Even when they tore the wall down 

Why don't you quiet down? 
Why won't you quiet down? 
Why don't you quiet down? 
Why won't you quiet down? 
You won't even touch us now you know that we're framed

You don't like living in a business world
You don't have goals and you never stay
There are no more goals in our liberal world
Living in times when I could stand it

It's all through the neighbor's grill
I'll roll on and maybe I can see out of here
It's all over the globe this day
It's all over the globe so let me out of here
It's all over the world

Quiet down? 
Why won't you quiet down? 
Why don't you quiet down? 
Why won't you quiet down? 

We are the dollar and cents
