Why fatherfolk drinks our coffee black

Fatherfolk is pissed. This week a coalition of senators filibustered a bill that would allow gays to openly serve in the military. It is beyond comprehension that those soft pink sweaty fuckers in the Senate have the audacity to tell homosexual service men and women that they are not to have the same rights as their straight counterparts. Frankly these soldiers are showing themselves to be heros again by not simply laying down their arms and refusing to serve a country that doesn't value their civil rights. 

So, in honor of our senators, who bravely sit at their desks and deny the soldiers fighting in foriegn wars equal rights, a message from the original punk rocker.



Man In Black lyrics
Johnny Cash(disclaimer: some record exucutive ass-hat own the rights to these lyrics. Not us.)

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.
I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.
Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.
I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.
And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.
Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.
Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.
