Sunday Classic Album Cover Sermon: Detained Labor Liberation: Time for a Rebel Music Revival

Preacher & the Blue Healers cover Bob Marley and the Wailers

REBEL MUSIC (3 O'Clock Roadblock)

(Do do do do-do do do!
Do do do do-do do do!
I rebel music;
I rebel music.)
Why can't we roam (oh-oh-oh-oh) this open country? (open country)
Oh, why can't we be what we wanna be? (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
We want to be free. (wanna be free)

3 o'clock roadblock - curfew,
And I've got to throw away -
Yes, I've got to throw away -
A yes-a, but I've got to throw away
My little herb stalk!

I (rebel music) - yeah, I'm tellin' you! -
(I) I rebel music (rebel music). Oh-ooh!

Take my soul (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
and suss - and suss me out (suss me out). Oh-ooh!
Check my life (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh),
if I am in doubt (I'm in doubt); I'm tellin':
3 o'clock roadblock - roadblock - roadblock,
And "Hey, Mr. Cop! Ain't got no - (hey) hey! (hey, Mr Cop) -
(What ya sayin' down there?) - (hey) hey! (hey, Mr Cop) -
Ain't got no birth certificate on me now."

Sunday Classic Album Cover Sermon: Here In My Car: Mustwerk Autoloan

Autobahn - Kraftwerk

Wir fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf der Autobahn (We are driving on the Autobahn)

Vor uns liegt ein weites Tal (In front of us is a wide valley)
Die Sonne scheint mit Glitzerstrahl (The sun is shining with glittering rays)

Die Fahrbahn ist ein graues Band (The driving strip is a grey track)
Weisse Streifen, gruener Rand (White strips, green edge)

Jetzt schalten wir ja das Radio an (We are switching the radio on)
Aus dem Lautsprecher klingt es dann: (From the speaker it sounds:)

Wir fah'rn auf der Autobahn... (We are driving on the Autobahn)

Sunday Classic Album Cover Sermon: Between the Wars: Spark Creative Peace


"For What It’s Worth"
– Stephen Stills / Buffalo Springfield

There's somethin' happenin' here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Tellin' me, I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speakin' their minds
Gettin' so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

What a field day for the heat
(Hmm, hmm, hmm)
A thousand people in the street
(Hmm, hmm, hmm)
Singing songs and carrying signs
(Hmm, hmm, hmm)
Mostly say, hooray for our side
(Hmm, hmm, hmm)

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop, now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

We better stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Sunday Album Cover Sermon: Freedom Fighters: Who You Fightin' For?


Queen & Country, freedom cry
God & Glory, Do or Die
Propaganda, Spin and Lie
Who are you fighting for?

You do the shooting - they do the looting
You do the killing - they do the drilling
You do the dying - they do the lying
All the way to the Bank
You can hear them crying

Sell the arms, suppress the truth
Create the fear, invent the proof
Wave the flag - don't tell the youth
Who they are fighting for?

You do the shooting - they do the looting
You do the killing - they do the drilling
You do the dying - they do the lying
All the way to the Bank
You can hear them crying

Weapon dealing, profiteering
Country stealing, ethnic clearing
Asset stripping, oil dripping
Architects of War.

You do the shooting - they do the looting
You do the killing - they do the drilling
You do the dying - they do the lying
All the way to the Bank
You can hear them crying

"Who You Fightin' For?"
