Rock on the Right? -

Rock on the Right? - You don't hear much rock and roll that makes you sit up and say "Jeez - that sounds downright Republican".

I was listening to the Franky Perez CD the other day. It took a few listens for this one to hit me:

...I won't lie for an honest buck
I'm a messenger in a pick-up truck
My old man ran in to hard luck
And passed it down to me...

...I won't stand in your welfare line
What I lack in cash I make up in pride
You get yours and I'll get mine
I got to feed my family

The government takes half our wages
Picket lines and classified pages
You can't count on the man to save us
So we take it to the streets

That's from "Cry Freedom", from his CD "Poor Man's Son", which I highly recommend. It's got some filler, but the high points are high enough to make me forget it. 0
