      TEM MÉTODO...
      1 - Corromper a mocidade pelo ensino subversivo.
      2 - Destruir a vida de família.
      3 - Dominar as pessoas pelos seus vícios.
      4 - Envilecer as artes e prostituir a literatura.
      5 - Minar o respeito pela religião, desacreditar tanto quanto possível os padres, espalhando contra eles histórias escandalosas.
      6 - Propagar o luxo desenfreado, as modas fantásticas, eliminando a faculdade de gozar de coisas simples e sãs.
      7 - Distrair a atenção das massas pelas diversões populares, divertir o povo para impedi-lo de pensar.
      8 - Envenenar o espírito com teorias nefastas e enfraquecer os corpos pela inoculação do vírus de várias enfermidades.
      9 - Criar o descontentamento universal e provocar ódio e desconfiança entre as classes sociais.
      10 - Despojar a aristocracia das velhas tradições e de suas terras, gravando-as com impostos formidáveis de modo a forçá-la a contrair dívidas, substituir as pessoas de sangue nobre pelos homens de negócios e estabelecer por toda parte o culto do Bezerro de Ouro.
      11 - Empeçonhar as relações entre patrões e operários.
      12 - Desmoralizar as classes superiores por todos os meios e provocar o furor nas massas pela visão das torpezas estupidamente cometidas pelos ricos.
      13 - Permitir à indústria que esgote a agricultura, transformando-a em especulação.
      14 - Bater palmas a todas as utopias de maneira a meter o povo num labirinto de idéias impraticáveis.
      15 - Aumentar os salários sem vantagem para o operário, pois o preço da vida será majorado.
      16 - Fazer surgirem incidentes que provoquem suspeitas internacionais, envenenar os antagonismos entre os povos, despertar ódios e multiplicar os armamentos ruinosos....
      17 - Conceder o sufrágio universal, a fim de que os destinos das nações sejam confiados à gente sem educação.
      18 - Derrubar as monarquias e estabelecer repúblicas, intrigar para que os cargos mais importantes sejam confiados a pessoas que tenham segredos que não se possam Revelar a fim de poder dominá-las pelo pavor do escândalo marca Panamá ou Baiona.
      19 - Abolir gradualmente todas as formas de constituição.
      20 - Organizar vastos monopólios, nos quais soçobrem todas as fortunas, quando soar a hora da crise política.
      21 - Destruir toda estabilidade financeira, multiplicar as crises econômicas e preparar a bancarrota universal, parar as engrenagens da indústria, faze ir por água abaixo todos os valores, concentrar todo o ouro do mundo em certas mãos, deixar capitais enormes em absoluta estagnação, em um momento dado, suspender todos os créditos e provocar o pânico.
      22 - Preparar a agonia dos Estados, esgotar a humanidade pelos sofrimentos, angústias e privações, PORQUE A FOME CRIA ESCRAVOS...

    Ten days ago Oliver was in the woods unknown, then this. The lyrics touch us because we know it's truth. The guitar touches us because it harkens back to a simpler time. His voice touches us because it has passion and a cry in his powerful voice that we feel in our hearts. He is touching the heart of the world wherever an incompetent corrupt conflict creating government and greedy corporations abuse and steal from the people. That's everywhere today. Lord, it's a damn shame. Wonderful reaction.

    I've listened to this song 50 times and cry every time. This song transcends race and ethnicity because it applies to all of us. Look at what the politicians and major media outlets are doing to us! They pit us against each other based on our skin color and they want to keep us divided. When I was a kid growing up in the '70s here in rural Georgia, you never heard about race. I had Hispanic friends, black friends, etc. We all looked out for each other. Almost all politicians and media outlets want us to hate each other so that they can maintain power. God bless.

    The struggle is real and Oliver is spitting facts. I've been working more than 30 years in production since i was 18. From making trucks on an assembly lines to working in paper mills to working in an ammunition plant and the pay is never enough. Getting taxed here Getting taxed there and it's not enough to get ahead. I'm tired.

      YES! We must UNITE AS ONE AND OVER THROW THIS CORRUPT GOVERNMENT (both sides) they must be taken down we need to TAKE OUR NATION BACK! WE are taxed to death! When you pay for your house you should not have to keep paying taxes then if you die your family gets taxed for inheritance it’s a dam shame! Why are we giving Ukraine Billions, another WAR , Nuclear big corps making a killing off of war… illegals getting money our people ( Americans) needs, our streets full of our people ( homeless) that have given up and checked out. We can take this back. I know we have to have a leader I like Trumps policies they all hate him do you wonder why?? He wants to take this nation back he never took a dime salary never before have we had a man that did this, Trump taking US back to its roots! God help this Nation and the nations of the world! Appeal to heaven for help!

    Very good reaction to this song!
    My favorite part is the waking up and wishing it weren't true. Then the resignation that sets in when you realise that it is.
    People that work hard and log overtime have agency, a sense of pride, they figure stuff out, solve problems and get things done. When they can't overcome adversity, hardship and unfairness with these qualities it is absolutely soul crushing to them.

      Where as I mostly agree with you, I will just point to the artists own words after the GOP used the song at the debate, this isn't about either party, its bigger than that. Its both sides not paying attention and paid off. Its workers/labor vs. the rich and politicians they will always try to keep us apart because they cant stop us if we work together and stop fighting each other.
