Happy Earth Day.
Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be) Where did all the blue skies go? Poison is the wind that blows From the north and south and east

Do you hear me? Do you care? Do you hear me? Do you care? My lips are moving and the sound's coming out The words are audible but I have my doubts That you realize what has been said You look at me as if you're in a daze It's like the feeling at the end of the page When you realize you don't know what you just read What are words for When no one listens anymore What are words for When no one listens What are words for When no one listens There's no use talking at all

The consensus on Elvis Presley is often that all of his best work was early before he became dissipated by pills, and jaded by Vegas. I like a lot of his late stuff though, particularly Suspicious Minds, In the Ghetto, and Kentucky Rain. This is a largely forgettable song and not in the class of the others, but for some reason, I thought of it today because like the singer in the song : I was raised on rock!
I remember as a child I used to hear Music that they played Lord with a feel Some call it folk, some call it soul But people let me tell you it was rock and roll
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul Every day when I got home I turned on my radio
[Verse 2] Listening to the music that my idols made I knew every single record the DJ's played A honky tonk a Hound Dog, a Johnny B. Goode Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul I was born to love the beat, I was made for rock and roll
[Verse 3] Some thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass But the younger generation knew it would last Time's gone by, the beat goes on But every time I hear it, Lord, it takes me homeI was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul Every day when I got home I turned on my radio[Verse 4] Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth Mozart's sonatas down the classical Liszt My papa loved to listen to those country songs While I was in the back room rocking on
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul I was born to love the beat, I was made for rock and roll
[Outro] I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul I was born to love the beat, I was made for rock and roll I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my Soul

JP Morgan takes over First Republic.
I love kittens and little babies Can't you see that's the guy I am And your money is so safe with me You never met such an honest man Glossies on my office wall The rich and famous, I know them all Come on and do the Money Shuffle I've got you right there where I want you Come on and do the Money Shuffle Can't find your money if you want to Stock market going through the roof now So rich I'll never add it up now I've got your savings here somewhere

Robert owes half to Grenville Who, in turn, gave half to Larry, who Adored my instrumentals And so he gave half to a foreign publisher He took half the money That was earned in some far distant land Gave back half to Larry And I end up with half of goodness knows what
[Bridge] Can somebody explain Why things go on this way? I thought they were my friends I can't believe it's me I can't believe that I'm so green
[Chorus] Eyes down, round and round Let's all sit and watch the money-go-round Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there Do they all deserve money from a song that they've never heard? They don't know the tune and they don't know the words But they don't give a damn There's no end to it I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it The money goes 'round and around and around And it comes out here When they've all taken their share I went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served On the verge of a nervous breakdown I decided to fight right to the end But if I ever get my money I'll be too old and grey to spend it
[Outro] Oh, but life goes on and on And no one ever wins And time goes quickly by Just like the money-go-round I only hope that I'll survive

THERE ARE HIT albums, and then there’s Dark Side of the Moon. Pink Floyd‘s eternally popular song cycle has sold more than 15 million copies in the U.S. since its release on March 1st, 1973, and more than 45 million units worldwide. A true colossus of classic rock, the album made its creators — bassist/vocalist Roger Waters, guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour, keyboardist/vocalist Rick Wright, and drummer Nick Mason — incredibly wealthy, and ultimately spent a mind-boggling 937 weeks on the Billboard 200.
