The Unblinking Eye (Everything Is Broken)

What happened to the protest song? Music is now so polished, shiny and predictable, we have forgotten to try and "say something with it". I am getting old and like everyone, have the right to say something about the "state of control" we live under – powerless to do anything about it. In case you hadn't noticed. The high street is full of holes. We are fighting a pointless war which is killing our young soldiers and which we simply cannot afford. This war promotes and prolongs terrorism. This is our Vietnam. Unwinnable. Pointless. We are taxed and retaxed while the nation is not only broke but utterly bankrupt, being propped up with tax payers money and money which is simply printed. We are spied upon by 5 million cameras. We have 35,000 new pretty rules and regulations - more than ever before - no wonder people are bewildered and confused. As a nation we own almost nothing including "our" water, electricity, gas, airspace and major manufacturers. Personal privacy is non-existent. We are directionless. I'm pissedd off – you should be too. Happy days Roger Taylor Published by Queen Music/EMI Music Publishing Ltd. ℗ & © 2009 Nightjar Productions Ltd. Made in England Made in EU Limited to 1000 copies
