Truth to Power

NP

I rarely revisit the music of high school days, but this album is an such a masterpiece, I still buy every new version that comes out:

“NP-X138”

I mean, how can you resist lyrics such as this?

Mother, Father, I’m doing so well

I’m making such progress now that you can hardly tell

I fit in a little dedication

With one eye on the clock

They caught you under medication

You could be in for a shock

Thinking up the alibis that ev’ryone’s forgotten

Just another mummy’s boy gone to rotten

They pat some good boys on the back and put some to the rod

But I never thought they’d put me in the

Goon squad….

Or one of the highlights of the era, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding?”

And as I walked on

Through troubled times

My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes

So where are the strong

And who are the trusted?

And where is the harmony?

Sweet harmony.

‘Cause each time I feel it slippin’ away, just makes me wanna cry.

What’s so funny ‘bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh

What’s so funny ‘bout peace love & understanding?

</i>

Ah, yes.
