John Fogarty started writing protest songs for Credence Clearwater Revival during the Vietnam War (Fortunate Son, Who'll Stop the Rain, etc). It's good to see that he hasn't lost his touch, or his passion, after more than 35 years.
Long Dark Night - John Fogerty
George is in the jungle knockin' on the door come to get your children wants to have a war
Come on, lord you'd better run, be a long dark night before this thing is done
Brownie's in the outhouse Katrina on the line government's a disaster but George, he says it's fine
Come on, lord you'd better run, be a long dark night before this thing is done
Rummy's in the kitchen messin' with the pan Dickie's in the back stealing everything he can Come on, Lord you'd better run, be a long dark night before this thing is done
You better run, you better run, Lord you better run, Lord you better run,
Runnin' down the highway shoutin' to the Lord George's got religion and you know he can't afford more, yeah
Come on, Lord you'd better run be a long dark night before this thing is done be a long dark night before this thing is done, oh Lord
I Can't Take It No More - John Fogerty
I can't take it no more I can't take it no more I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war I can't take it no more
You know you lied about the casualties You know you lied about the WMD's You know you lied about the detainees All over this world
Stop talking about staying the course You keep a-beating that old dead horse You know you lied about how we went to war I can't take it no more
I can't take it I can't take it
I bet you never saw the old school yard I bet you never saw the national guard Your daddy wrote a check and there you are Another fortunate son
I can't take it no more I can't take it no more I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war I can't take it no more
