A Song to Sing

I can't stop singing. I have this song stuck in my head, and it just comes belching out every few minutes. Most of the time this drives me completely bizonkers, but I'm actually loving having this song and it's message going through my mind. For those of you who are not telepathic, the song I'm thinking of is called “You, Me and The Bourgeoisie” by The Submarines. A bourgeoisie is actually a member of middle class, and this is the basis for the song. It's all about how we here in North America have so much, and how we're so blessed, but we still are looking for more. We are large consumers, always looking for “the next big thing” and material things in general. The song continues and goes on about finding love and light in a less materialistic style of life, something we all need to do.

“Here I am with all the pleasures of the first world
Laid out for me who am I to breakdown?

Everyday I wake up,
I choose Love
I choose Light
And I try, it's too easy just to fall apart

Oh my baby don't be so distressed
Were done with politesse
It's time to be so brutally honest about
The way we know we long for something fine
When we pine for higher ceilings
And bourgeois happy feelings

Plastic Bottles
Imported Water
Cars we drive wherever we want to
Clothes we buy it's sweatshop labour Drugs from corporate enablers
We're not living the Good life
Unless we're fighting the Good fight
You and Me just trying to get it right

Love can free us from all excess
From our deepest debts
Cause when our hearts are full we need much less”
