             GREAT MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF CAPITALISM

               URANUS (to the tune of AQUARIUS from 'Godspell')

           (This song is dedicated to the Passers of the Welfare Reform Bill)

          When the stools are in the Gringrich House
          And Senators align with Mars
          Then Greed will guide our country
          Pure Ego steer our Pol-Stars

          This is the dawning of the Age of Uranus
          The Age of Uranus
          Uranus, Uranus

          Simony, misunderstanding
          Cruelty, sad lusts abounding
          Lots more lying and derision
          Golden parachutes their vision
          Mystic racist fulmination
          Nation-soul in constipation

          Uranus, Uranus

          When the Pricks are in the Clintrich House
          And Congressmen are paged with bribes
          Then Idiots will damn our destiny
          And Shits will ruin our lives

          This is the dawning of the Age of Uranus
          The Age of Uranus
          Uranus, Uranus

          Conspiracy and underhandling
          Media control astounding
          Circuses with bread omission
          Downsize lives without contrition

          Uranus, Uranus

          Now the Ghouls are in the Masters House
          And Murderers kill us en masse
          Now the Rule they Rule the Planet
          And wipeout the Underclass

          This is the Sundown of the Age of Uranus
          The Age of Uranus
          Uranus, Uranus

          Let the Moonshine
          Let the Moonshine
          Let the Moonshine
          Let the Moonshine in!

a nice recent interview of Tuli, and words to Uranus & Because the State, at:

 also good one of Ed Sanders at:

and a real interesting one of Peter Stampfel at:

"Peter Stampfel is the only person ever to play music with Bob Dylan,
Sam Shepard, Mississippi John Hurt and Buckminster Fuller"

"Nation-soul in constipation"-I love that line
