Patti Smith's 'Trampin'

The worst and the best...listening to Patti Smith's 'Trampin', in particular the 10-minute howl of rage that is Radio Baghdad

'We invented the zero
And we mean nothing to you
Our children run through
the streets
And you sent your flames
Your shooting stars
Shock and awe
Shock and awe
Like some, some
Imagined warrior production
Twenty-first century
No chivalry involved'

'Maybe one day we'll be strong enough
To build it back again
Build the peaceable kingdom
Back again
Build it back again

Why must we hide all these feelings inside
Lions and lambs shall abide'
