"Can't Keep It In" - Cat Stevens

"Can't Keep It In" - Cat Stevens





Can't Keep It In from Catch Bull at Four, one of the greatest albums of the rock era.
Cat Stevens                

Oh I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in
I've gotta let it out
I've got to show the world, world's got to see
See all the love, love that's in me, I said
Why walk alone, why worry when it's warm over here
You got so much to say, say what you mean
Mean what you're thinkin', and think anything
Oh why, why must you waste you're life away
You've got to live for today, then let it go, oh
Lover, I want to spend this time with you
There's nothing I wouldn't do, if you let me know
And I can't keep it in, I can't hide it and
I can't lock it away
I'm up for your love, love heats my blood
Blood spins my head, and my head falls in love, oh
Oh, I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in
I've gotta let it out
I've got to show the world, world's got to know,
Know of the love, love that lies low,
So why can't you say, if you know then why can't you say
You've got too much deceit, and deceit kills the light
Light has to shine,
I said shine light, shine light
Love, that's the way to live your life
You allow too much to go by, and that won't do, no
Lover, I want to have you here by my side
Now don't you run, don't you hide
While I'm with you
And I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in
I gotta let it out
I've gotta show the world, worlds's got to see,
See all the love, love that's in me
I said why walk alone, now, why worry when it's warm over here
You got so much to say, say what you mean
Mean what you're thinkin' and think anything, why not?
Now why why why not

RESIST



Democrats Need a Tea Party of the Left
A grassroots insurrection successfully transformed the Republican Party. Progressives need to emulate it.

I have maintained this for some time now, and especially after reading Chris Hedges' "Death of the Liberal Class".

But getting the progressive left on message, getting "liberals" out in the street protesting, getting Whole Foods moms to drop the lattes and pick up placards and march in the streets will be some undertaking.

The Teapartiers mobilized under a single unifying banner. They were single message mobilizers who took to the streets, demanded that their message resonate with those equally disaffected and filled with hate, and put up candidates who voiced their mantra. The last time the Left did anything remotely like this was 1968.

I'm done with hope. Action, resistance, rebellion, mobilized obstruction are the tools required.
