Oh posting lyrics....ok I am in.......

punk, new age etc. can not touch the truth that Dylan can.


Union Sundown | Bob Dylan


Well, my shoes, they come from Singapore
My flashlight’s from Taiwan
My tablecloth’s from Malaysia
My belt buckle’s from the Amazon
You know, this shirt I wear comes from the Philippines
And the car I drive is a Chevrolet
It was put together down in Argentina
By a guy makin’ thirty cents a day
Well, it’s sundown on the union
And what’s made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
’Til greed got in the way


SongMeanings | Lyrics | Bob Dylan - Sweetheart Like You


They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings
Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king

Bob Dylan is a moron. He thinks he's criticizing capitalism in that song.
Turns out it describes how great capitalism actually is. It allows anyone
who has valuable skills to participate in creation of product and get rewarded.

You don't want that guy in Argentina to starve, do you?

Yes, greed is good.
