Get Back!

Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner
Well, after the not so brilliant post I wrote a few days ago; I got to thinking.  Is it really a coincidence that all the countries that have a lot of oil (Libya, Tunisia, Iraq…) are suddenly ousting their dictators (we all know that the US is responsible for the success of each of those dictators maintaining control of their country’s; thus the US maintaining an indirect control over the oil).  Now that the US is finding creative ways of accessing the oil, and step one is to rid the country of it’s dictators?

But he knew it couldn’t last
Don’t you hate that this is the way the US does things.  And if the American economy is going down.  And we cannot turn things around.  With all the maniacal, treacherous, scheming that we do; wouldn’t you think that in terms of “The Universe”,  we’d kind of deserve what we get?

Jo, Jo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
Here’s a little cartoon to illustrate what I mean.

Now with all of that in consideration, I’d rather have the Canadian attitude.  They’re not watching their back, or worried who’s going to bomb them.  Their just happy playing hockey, smoking cigars and drinking beer.  Why can’t we be more like Canada, and be happy with what we’ve got?  I guess what I’m really asking is why can’t we be happy with what we got?

Get Back, get back.
Look at all the stupid problems we cause for ourselves because we can’t be happy with what we’ve got.  That’s how we got into this economic downturn in the first place.  Some banks and corporations got greedy and wanted more than they had.  So, they created the mortgage lending predatory practices, which led to the “The Great Recession”.  Of course we can’t forget President Bush’s contribution to the recession, with the war over terror; or was it over oil?

Get back to where you once belong.
Now, when you consider the founding of this country, and the kind of people who founded The United States.  And considered the great hardship they, Our Forefathers endured to insure our county’s inhabitants would be free from anarchy, enjoy freedom and enjoy the fruits of our labor.  It’s hard to believe how we’ve strayed from our foundation, and even harder to believe when you think about, who we are today.  We’ve come a long way, from where we started as a country, dontcha think?

Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, Jo

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she’s got it coming
But she gets it while she can

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, Loretta
Go home

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Oooh…

Get back, Loretta
Your mama’s waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get back home, Loretta

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back
Oh, yeah

Many Thanks to the Beatles for the use of their lyrics “Get Back”.
