For Solon; or, Music to Go with Your Afternoon Coffee, While Contemplating the Culture Wars



Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end its only round and round.
Havent you heard its a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
Theres room for you inside.


Among the best rock lyrics ever written, IHO.

I think you missed the most important lyrics, especially in relation to the Culture Wars:

Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side.

Yep. That's what happens. And that is who wins.
