Change of the Guard

Let's face it-- there is a Steely Dan song for every occasion. I thought this was appropriate for an inauguration day. But let it be known I expect from this administration what I have from the others in my lifetime (and none has let me down so far): more for the rich, less for the poor, a ton of empty words, violence and terror, and eventually a president torn to pieces by the very people who put him in power. Happy inauguration.

If you listen you can hear it
Its the laughter in the street
Its the motion in the music
And the fire beneath your feet
All the signs are right this time
You don't have to try so very hard
If you live in this world
Youre feelin the change of the guard

All the cowboys and your neighbors
Can you swallow up your pride
Take your guns off if you're willin
And you know were on your side
If you wanna get thru the years
Its high time you played your card
If you live in this world
You're feelin the change of the guard
-Steely Dan
