“Grandpa (Tell Me ’bout the Good Old Days)” by the Judds
Grandpa, tell me ’bout the good old days
Sometimes it feels like
This world’s gone crazy
Grandpa, take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn’t seem so hazy
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say?
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
Oh, Grandpa, tell me ’bout the good old days
Grandpa, everything is changing fast
We call it progress
But I just don’t know
And Grandpa, let’s wander back into the past
And paint me the picture
Of long ago
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget?
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
Oh, Grandpa, tell me ’bout the good old days
Oh, Grandpa, tell me ’bout the good old days

“Signs” by Five Man Electrical Band
And the sign said “Long-haired freaky people need not apply”
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said “You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you’ll do”
So I took off my hat, I said “Imagine that. Huh! Me workin’ for you!”
Whoa-oh-oh
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin’ would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house
“Hey! What gives you the right?”
“To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in”
“If God was here he’d tell you to your face, man, you’re some kinda sinner”
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?
Now, hey you, mister, can’t you read?
You’ve got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can’t even watch, no you can’t eat
You ain’t supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!
And the sign said, “Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray”
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all
I didn’t have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, “Thank you, Lord, for thinkin’ ’bout me. I’m alive and doin’ fine”
Wooo!
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?
Topic: Donald J. Trump; Resistance Auxiliary Topic: Republicans; Republican Party; Resistance “A Man Has Dreams” by David Tomlinson and Dick Van Dyke from Mary Poppins
A man has dreams of walking with giants To carve his niche in the edifice of time Before the mortar of his zeal Has a chance to congeal
The cup is dashed from his lips The flame is snuffed aborning He’s brought to rack and ruin in his prime
My world was calm, well ordered, exemplary Then came this person, with chaos in her wake And now my life’s ambitions go with one fell blow It’s quite a bitter pill to take
A spoonful of sugar that is all it takes It changes bread and water into tea and cakes A spoonful of sugar goes a long, long way ‘Ave yourself a ‘ealthy ‘elpin’ ev’ry day
You’re a man of ‘igh position Esteemed by your peers And when your little tykes are cryin’ You ‘aven’t time to dry their tears And see them grateful little faces Smilin’ up at you Because their dad, ‘e always knows Just what to do
You’ve got to grind, grind, grind At that grindstone Though child’ood slips like sand through a sieve And all too soon they’ve up and grown And then they’ve flown And it’s too late for you to give Just that spoonful of sugar To ‘elp the medicine go down The medicine go down, the medicine go down
Topic: Resistance “Sister Suffragette” by Glynis Johns from Mary Poppins
We’re clearly soldiers in petticoats And dauntless crusaders for woman’s votes Though we adore men individually We agree that as a group they’re rather stupid!
Cast off the shackles of yesterday! Shoulder to shoulder into the fray! Our daughters’ daughters will adore us And they’ll sign in grateful chorus “Well done, Sister Suffragette!”
From Kensington to Billingsgate One hears the restless cries! From ev’ry corner of the land: “Womankind, arise!” Political equality and equal rights with men! Take heart! For Missus Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again!
No more the meek and mild subservients we! We’re fighting for our rights, militantly! Never you fear!
So, cast off the shackles of yesterday! Shoulder to shoulder into the fray! Our daughters’ daughters will adore us And they’ll sign in grateful chorus “Well done! Well done! Well done Sister Suffragette!”
Original / Romaji Lyrics
I want to change the world
Kaze wo kakenukete, nanimo osorezuni
Ima yuuki to, egao no kakera daite
Change my mind
Jounetsu tayasazu ni, takanaru mirai e
Te wo nobaseba, kagayakeru hazu sa
It’s wonderland
Haiiro no sora no kanata, nanika oitekita
Kimi wa mayoinagara, sagashitsuzukeru
Kimi no kokoro furueteta, asu no mienai yo
Nani mo shinjirarezu, mimi wo fusagu
Kimi ni deaeta toki, honto no ibasho mitsuketa
Nanigenai yasashisa ga, koko ni atte
Bokura mezameru
I want to change the world
Nido to mayowanai, kimi to iru mirai
Katachidoreba, dokomademo toberu sa
Change my mind
Jounetsu tayasazu ni, shiranai ashita e
Tsubasa hiroge, habatakeru hazu sa
It’s wonderland
Bokura wa onaji sekai wo, oyogitsuzuketeru
Tagai no negai e, todoku hi made
Minna onaji fuan kakaete, sasaeaeru yo
Tachidomaru shunkan ni, mitsumeteru
Kono basho ni iru
I want to change the world
Kono te hanasazu ni, mimamoru hitomi wo
Uketometara, nandatte dekiru hazu
Change my mind
Hitori ni sasenai, minna koko ni iru
Donna koto mo, tsukinukete ikou
It’s wonderland
I want to change the world
Kaze wo kakenukete, nanimo osoerezuni
Ima yuuki to, egao no kakera daite
Change my mind
Jounetsu tayasazu ni, takanaru mirai e
Te wo nobaseba, kagayakeru hazu sa

An English Translation
I want to change the world,
Pierce through the winds,
I’m not afraid of anything, now with the courage
and fragments of the smile I hold.
Change my mind,
Without losing my passion,
If I reach out my hand to the beating future,
I’m sure to shine,
It’s wonderland.
Beyond the grey skies,
Something was left behind,
You wandered about,
And kept on searching about.
Your heart trembled,
The morning of a night you couldn’t see.
Unable to believe anything,
With covered ears…
When I met you,
I’d found where I truly belong,
With the casual kindness
That’s here,
We awaken.
I want to change the world
I won’t lose my way again,
With you, if we could shape the future,
We can fly anywhere.
Change my mind
Without losing my passion
I spread my wings to an unknown new day,
I’m sure they will unfurl,
It’s wonderland
We continue to swim in
The same world,
Until the day we reach each others’ dreams.
We all carry around the same uneasiness,
And we hold each other up.
The moment we stop, we’ll be
At the place we’ve looked for.
I want to change the world
Without letting go of my hand,
Accept that I am watching over you,
And I’m sure you can do anything.
Change my mind,
I won’t let you do this alone,
We’re all here.
We’ll break through whatever is there,
It’s wonderland.
I want to change the world,
Pierce through the winds,
I’m not afraid of anything, now with the courage
and fragments of the smile I hold.
Change my mind,
Without losing my passion,
If I reach out my hand to the beating future,
I’m sure to shine,
It’s wonderland.
