I can't keep up with what's been going on I think my heart must just be slowing down Among the human beings in their designer jeans Am I the only one who hears the screams And the strangled cries of lawyers in love
God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful They land at six o'clock and there we are, the dutiful Eating from TV trays, tuned into to Happy Days
Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves To the mating calls of lawyers in love
Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capitol The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, like Russians do Now we've got all this room, we've even got the moon And I hear the U.S.S.R. will be open soon As vacation land for lawyers in love
This song established Jackson Browne as a major prophet.
The Soviet Union collapsed within a decade after he predicted it in 1983.
And teams of U.S. lawyers DID arrive at the Kremlin to show them how to "reorganize" their system. Basically, their advice to the drunk Yeltsin was to give everything away to the Harvard lawyers who represented their fellow Jewish oligarchs, the so-called Mafiya.
This song also reminds me I'm a lawyer in name only. I don't even own a three-piece suit.
If any of the photos of him at the above link are recent, he is holding up way better than most of his rock contemporaries. Of course he was as much a folk singer as a rocker, for much of his career.
Maybe he's smoking the same brand of pot as Willie Nelson, who hasn't aged discernibly in about 30 years. Of course, he looked like hell from previous abuse when he stopped aging. The pot can't reverse the damage already done.
