This song never got the play and popularity it deserved. It is long, and full of lyrics that make people highly uncomfortable. It is a young old song, more relevant today then when it was first written and preformed. It's actual title in the Unabridged version is "Monster Suicide America"
MONSTER BY STEPPENWOLF / Song and Video of the last 40 years in my opinion. We are financing this vile monster everytime we send a penny to the fedgov murderers. Couldn't we just quit feeding the beast ?
How dare we call ourselves free when we can't even free our minds sufficient to say "no way am I paying for bullets or bombs ... go fuck yourself Uncle Sambo" ... how dare we consider ourselves the benevolent power when we raise our children only to allow the Frankenstein Monster called the U.S. Armed Forces the unfettered ability to take them and change them into murdering butchers of innocent children, DU cancer victims and casket residents.
The hypocrisy is overwhelming. I know many here are waging the war against this putrid government ... but it's time to step up the game, raise the ante, call their bluff and kick their sick asses out of our lives.
Thanks, I enjoyed that. I know this song by James McMurtry has been linked many times in here already, but I understand where you come from. This song lives in that place too.
