Another new single from Evanescence:

Here's one that is perfect for society nowadays: Brave New World by Motörhead



So this a new beginning, as the new century dawns
The world's a better place for you and me
Shouldn't smoke or drink or watch that evil filthy porn.
Be Christian and God will set you free.
But being poor is worse than having AIDS,
The homeless live in boxes at our feet
Living in a constant state of dull frustrated rage,
The innocent shot daily in the street

Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world
Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world

The government has always been you pal as you well know
Absolute corrupted power play,
If we all wipe each other out, it only goes to show
While the bureaucrats get richer by the day,
Smoking dope will get you more than murder one,
And even worse than statutory rape,
Don't understand your children, so you send them all to jail,
Believe me, you will never make a worse mistake.

Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world
Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world

The government is coming and it wants to be your friend,
It wants to show you how to be a snitch
Inform upon your children, the inevitable end,
Is everyone's a victim but the filthy fucking rich,
And religion, like the monster that it is
Keeps telling you to turn the other cheek
God is on your side, but I don't think that you're on his,
If Jesus showed up now he'd be in jail by next week!

Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world
Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world

Great cover by Breaking Benjamin and Gavin Rossdale (BUSH) performing Alice in Chain's 'Would'. So good.

Good cover. Hard to go wrong with classic AIC.

For the last several days I've been coming back to the title track from VH's 1986 album, the first with Slammin' Sammy on vocals, 5150... This entire album was magical!

I had never heard of this dude before this morning, but this is spot on for 2020; came across my recommendations on YT.

DIAMANTE. Another music artist I've never heard until today. Got a serious Joan Jett vibe going on, been a while since I've seen a good female rocker.

Haha. "Just listen to the rhythm of my heart...." :lol:
OMG I so forgot about this song (probably for good reason), came out early-mid 2000s.
