      Look at the hate we’re breeding

      Look at the fear we’re feeding

      Look at the lives we’re leading

      The way we’ve always done before

      …

      Look at the shoes you’re filling

      Look at the blood we’re spilling

      Look at the world we’re killing

      The way we’ve always done before

      …

      Look in the doubt we’ve wallowed

      Look at the leaders we’ve followed

      Look at the lies we’ve swallowed

      And I don’t want to hear no more

      …

      And I don’t need your civil war

      It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor

      You’re power-hungry, sellin’ soldiers in a human grocery store

      Excerpts from Civil War, “Use Your Illusion II”, Guns & Roses, 1991

      I lacked the experience to understand an album I loved when it was released. Only much later in life did I pay attention to the lyrics and artists’ intent.

      Because they’re old white rocker guys they must be MAGA conservatives?

      Remember Kanye endorsed Trump last time around.

        I listen to a morning radio show with grandpa rockers who regularly talk about their glory days with hookers and cocaine and they abhor Trump and the GOP in general.
