ICE van sits on the corner
waiting for your children
waiting for your parents
waiting for your friends
Got your green card?
It doesn't matter
you're still a target
in the end.
--
No one is safe.
The monster is in the House.
The monster is in the Cabinet.
The white house on the lane is
run by the insane.
--
People are fired and arrested
for honoring their body
for minding their own business
for speaking their truth
a stark contrast from the time
of our youth.
--
Now our country is laughed at.
once
a nation of pride
a safe haven
honorable and true
now reduced to just a big bully
feared by many, despised by few.
--
Who scheduled this war?
Who profits from such pain
Who builds their kingdom
on bodies and chains.
--
Won't you help me save the date?
3 years left
but justice won't wait!

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Counting down the days, Sam, until this lunacy is gone and America can become the great nation it once was. And, I don't even live there!
