You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

Saint Peter, don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
You can just replace company store with whatever capitalist institution owns you. 🫠
It’s all one big company store
^(OK, not all, but it’s hard to escape)^
Truth. My grandpa sang sixteen tons all the time and taught me from a young age that the bourgeoisie doesn’t give a fuck about us poor folk and that bootstraps weren’t made to pull yourself up with. He taught me to take every advantage in life that I can get and to never stop fighting for what is right.
He lived an absolutely wild life before settling down with my grandma, so his super leftist ways made sense in a dude his age. I have him and my mom to thank for making me such a radical lefty. I’m actually going to the next no kings with my mom lol
Sounds like a legend
1000%
He met one of the first ladies, I can’t remember which one, in passing in a hotel while he was drunk off his ass. He told her the flowers she was holding were ugly. He only later found out he’d insulted a first lady.
He was also banned from entering the state of New York after he pissed in a rich, influential guy’s coat pocket while high as fuck on heroin. Rich dude sent him to PA for rehab instead of having him see jailtime. My grandpa stayed because he met my grandma after leaving the halfway house lol.
Haha, I wanna hang out with him
He was fun lol.

“So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you could tell?
Did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

Deine Gewalt ist nur ein stummer Schrei nach Liebe
Deine Springerstiefel sehnen sich nach Zärtlichkeit
Du hast nie gelernt, dich zu artikulieren
Und deine Eltern hatten niemals für dich Zeit
Oh-ho-ho, Arschloch!
I only lived in Germany for a bit, but this one stuck in my head pretty hard. Schrei nach Liebe by Die Ärzte
In particular I like the last line.
“It’s all true, but you’re still an asshole”.
Right, I think the point of it is: yes, maybe you were treated bad, and we can have sympathy for that, but still, being a Nazi is a choice, no one is making you choose that.
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed, Everybody knows the war is over, Everybody knows the good guys lost, Everybody knows the fight was fixed, The poor stay poor, the rich get rich, That’s how it goes, Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking, Everybody knows the captain lied, Everybody got this broken feeling, Like their father or their dog just died, Everybody talking to their pockets, Everybody wants a box of chocolates, And a long-stem rose, Everybody knows…
Hey Pacman. What’s up?
