A little light on the lyrics, but do you really need more?

Released near the end of the Reagan presidency, almost every word of the lyrics are even more true today. Only exception is Pat Robertson (far too recently) dying.

I often come back to this song when I feel hopeless or uncertain about a better future. This song, at least to me, means that no matter how bad things get we must continue forward without losing sight of our goals.

From the official video description:

There are times in life where you have to stand up and fight for what you believe in. As touring musicians one of the greatest things we got to experience is meeting people from all over the word, from all kinds of cultures, with all kinds of skin colors, sexual orientations and individual features. Diversity is what makes this life exciting and colorful - We believe in tolerance, human dignity and humanity! Rise Up, Tear Down!

Yes that's a real lemonade-making guillotine, built by Rusty. You might have noticed a plaque above the lemonade sign. That would be her name, Term Limits.

I swore I posted this a few months ago, but apparently I'm more forgetful than I thought. Either way, here's part 1 and part 2

I generally prefer to avoid these old school lyric videos, but in this case it was the only video where I was satisfied with the audio quality. Enjoy the throwback!

FWIW, this song was written in the 90s before the concept of crack babies were thoroughly debunked
