this man is a prophet

.. and good 'til the last drop.



The riots started slowly with the homeless and the lowly
Then they spread into the heartland towns that never get a wristband
Kids that can't afford the cool brand whose anger is a short-hand
For you'll never get a wristband and if you don't have a wristband then you can't get through the door
No you can't get through the door
No you can't get through the door
Say you can't get through the door, no.....

Absolutely a genius; sincere thanks for this thread evs!
I grew up with the "Bridge Over Troubled Water" LP as a significant part of the soundtrack of my childhood and was later gobsmacked when I discovered these two back-to-back stunners.
The edgy and tense arrangement (so fitting for the subject matter - and that mournful conclusion that kinda foresaw the voyeuristic allure of "reality TV"; "prophet" indeed!) on the first song then segueing in to the confessional warmth and beauty of the second...
