These three albums utterly wrecked me. I'm almost certain that Change Today was the first tape I ever bought after hearing it in an Alva video. As I write my final, rambling paper, they are all that matter. They are super classic.


There's blood on the streets again today
All the people dying, what a price we have to pay
Around the world they're fighting, it's not that far away
Feel the darkness, can we change our ways?

We live in the American zone
Free of fear in our American homes

Swimming pool and a digital phone
But what do we say when Johnny comes home?

You know Johnny just got back from war today
Beirut weekend, a powder keg
He was 20 years old and he lost both of his legs
We're all real sorry today

We live in the American zone
Free of fear in our American homes
Swimming pool and a digital phone
But what do we say when Johnny comes home?

What do we say?
What do we say?
When Johnny comes home and he's lost his legs?
What do we say?
What do we say?
American, American, American, yeah. We live in an American, American, American, American-
and you don't know what to say when you see your brother with no legs
He said oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh no
