Year 4 On The Road – Quarantine Begins

Weird Scenes Inside The Pandemic

Drowning In Reagan’s Bathtub

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and raped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down. ~~ The Doors, When the Music’s Over (1967)

Driver where you takin’ us?:

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend

The end
Of our elaborate plans
The end
Of everything that stands
The end
No safety or surprise
The end
I’ll never look into your eyes
Again. […]

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There’s danger on the edge of town
Ride the king’s highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby~~~ The Doors, The End (1967)
