What song best captures your current phase of life?

I could take this question in a number of different directions but as I reflect, what I want this phase to be is my resistance phase. To that end, Desaparecidos came to mind, specifically The Happiest Place On Earth.

I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live I don't want to be ashamed to be American.

I take my son to scouts weekly and they often do the pledge. I struggle to because being an American doesn't mean what it used to.

Oh God, good God Shed greed on thee Your shining sea turned a dirty green from the industry

The shining sea is disappearing. We've witnessed the last few months the extreme greed and what it has wrought. That sea is a dirty green.

I’m not brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill something Too bad that nowadays you just point and click Swing low satellite, hot white chariot! In the computer’s blue glare, the bombs burst in the air There was a city once - now nothing is there Our freedom comes at their expense It makes sense, doesn’t it? Dollars and cents

Wildly poignant now, with officials gleefully detailing their destructive actions while basking in the glow from their phone screen.

The whole song hits hard - and it came out more than 20 years ago. It sets up the need for and drive to resistance in its darkly upbeat post-hardcore track.
