Doesn’t matter if the song as a whole is your favorite, I’m just curious what line really stood out to you in a good way.

    As soon as you're born, they make you feel small  
    By giving you no time instead of it all  
    Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all  
    
    A working class hero is something to be  
    
    They hurt you at home, and they hit you at school  
    They hate you if you're clever, and they despise a fool  
    Till you're so fucking crazy, you can't follow their rules  
    
    A working class hero is something to be  
    
    When they've tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years  
    Then they expect you to pick a career  
    When you can't really function, you're so full of fear  
    
    A working class hero is something to be  
    
    Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV  
    And you think you're so clever and classless and free  
    But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see  
    
    A working class hero is something to be  
    
    There's room at the top they are telling you still  
    But first you must learn how to smile as you kill  
    If you want to be like the folks on the hill  
    
    A working class hero is something to be

    Hard to choose between:

    I once had a life, or rather
    Life had me
    I was one among many
    Or at least I seemed to be

    Can You Get to That - Funkadelic

    We are stardust
    (Billion year old carbon)

    Woodstock - Joni Mitchell

    Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
    None but ourselves can free our minds

    Redemption Song - Bob Marley

    The simple narrative taught in every history class Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist Don’t you know the world is built with blood? And genocide and exploitation The global network of capital essentially functions To separate the worker from the means of production And the FBI killed Martin Luther King Private property’s inherently theft And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite That is how the world works (really?) That is how the world works Genocide the Natives, say you got to it first That’s how it works

    I’m all alone in this crowd

    Who are you to me? Whom I supposed to be? Not exactly sure, anymore

    Where’s this going to? Can I follow through? Or just follow you, for a while?

    “ I’ll make time now, would you wait? I can meet you at the bottom but it won’t be the same “

    Cowboy tears by Oliver tree

    My dad is a cowboy who lived on a farm his whole life. Went crazy in his 50’s and by 60 needs full time memory care at a dementia home. The whole song makes me sob, to me it’s about a cowboy with dementia that I had a shitty last few years with. Love you, dad.

    “When they try to pull you under… And they’re out to steal your thunder… Gotta make them recognize… You’re a phoenix and it’s time to RISE!!! TONIGHT!!!”

    From “Sunset Neon - Tonight”

    Arguably my favorite song ever. It encourages and motivates you to do the thing whatever that may be.
