The first six songs of the album Operation: Mindcrime are absolute fire! The album was written during the Reagan era, but of course is still relevant.

Even though the anti-capitalist messages in the songs are used as a framing device, that doesn’t stop them from being true!

Some lyrics from the next song in line “Spreading the Disease”:

Religion and sex are power plays;
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling God
The numbers look the same on their credit cards
Politicians say no to drugs
While we get paid for wars in South America
Fighting fire, with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid
To look away
As the one percent rules America
