Buffy Sainte Marie

Traveling down our different road

Trying hard to leave the load

We can take it there but we can't let go

it's so hard to lay it down

Back in edan we were tried

We found ourselves dissatisfied

Seeking wisdom we denied

Now we yearn to lay it down

Lay it down, brother

Lay it down on them

It's so hard to lay it down

Hide in me, confide in me

Don't you think it's time to be

Everything we tried to be

You and me should lay it down

Speak to me, your chained

There's no need for playin' games

After all, we're all the same

Tryin' hard to lay it down

Lay it down, sister

Lay it down

It's so hard to lay it down

Wish my words could make it well

Wish that i could break the spell

Wake the world from its dream of hell

And find a way to lay it down

Burdened by the things I leanred

And burdened from-- i'm too concerened

Nontheless, i confess

I yearn to find a way to lay it down

Lay it down, brother

Lay it down

it's so hard to lay it down

Lay it down sister,

Lay it down!

It's so hard to lay it down

This songs says it all and no one can say it better than Buffy. And she rocks it all the way home too.

This is just my opinion, but I don't think Obama's really in charge. And if he were to get out of line, he'd lose his life. IMO, there aren't any politicians who can get us out of these messes (though, there are some who'd get killed trying to) whether through some kind of military victory or safe withdrawal. The only solution, IMO, is civil disobedience by us (Watch "We Interrupt This Empire") and/or refusing to pay taxes.
