Malvina Reynolds - Sings the truth (1966) I don't mind failing in this world, I don't mind failing in this world, Don't mind wearing the ragged britches 'Cause those who succeed are the sons of bitches, I don't mind failing in this world. I don't mind failing in this world, I don't mind failing in this world, I'll stay down here with the raggedy crew, 'Cause getting up there means stepping on you, so I don't mind failing in this world. I don't mind failing in this world, I don't mind failing in this world, Somebody else's measuring scale of Win or lose doesn't tell the tale, so I don't mind failing in this world. I don't mind failing in this world, I don't mind failing in this world, Somebody else's definition Isn't going to measure my soul's condition, I don't mind failing in this world. I don't mind failing in this world, I don't mind failing in this world, Never mind the custom suits, The gentle hearts wear the dusty boots, so I don't mind failing in this world. I don't mind failing in this world, I don't mind failing in this world, Some people ride in a car so fine While others walk on a picket line, so I don't mind failing in this world. I don't mind failing in this world, I don't mind failing in this world, Don't mind wearing the ragged britches 'Cause those who succeed are the sons of bitches, I don't mind failing in this world.. + Informações

Edit: Well, I can honestly say I never expected this silly little homework assignment to get over 150000 views and 1000 likes. Thanks so much everyone! This is a claymation I made for my English class. The assignment was to choose a politically charged song and give some sort of visual representation, and then lead a discussion with the class about the song; mine was Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds.. + Informações

Lyric: Last night I had a lovely dream. I saw a big parade with ticker tape galore, And men were marching there The like I'd never seen before. Oh the bankers and the diplomats are going in the army. Oh happy day! I'd give my pay to see them on parade, Their paunches at attention and their striped pants at ease. They've gotten patriotic and they're going overseas. We'll have to do the best we can and bravely carry on, So we'll just keep the laddies1 here to manage while they're gone. Chorus: Oh, oh, we hate to see them go, The gentlemen of distinction in the army. The bankers and the diplomats are going in the army, It seemed too bad to keep them from the wars they love to plan. We're all of us contented that they'll fight a dandy war, They don't need propaganda, they know what they're fighting for. They'll march away with dignity and in the best of form, And we'll just keep the laddies here to keep the lassies1 warm. (Chorus) The bankers and the diplomats are going in the army, We're going to make things easy cause it's all so new and strange; We'll give them silver shovels when they have to dig a hole, And they can sing in harmony when answering the roll, They'll eat their old K-rations from a hand-embroidered box, And when they die, we'll bring them home, and bury them in Fort Knox. (Chorus). + Informações

Well, money has its own way, And money has to grow. It grows on human blood and bone, As any child would know. It's iron stuff and paper stuff With no life of its own, And so it takes its growing sap From human blood and bone. And many a child goes hungering Because the wage is low, And men die on the battlefield To make the money grow. And those that take the money crop Are avid without end, They plant it in the tenements To make it grow again. The little that they leave for us, It cannot be a seed. We spend it for the shoddy clothes And every daily need. We spend it in a minute, In an hour it is gone, To find its way to grow again On human blood and bone, Blood and bone.. + Informações

Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of ticky tacky, Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes all the same. There's a pink one and a green one And a blue one and a yellow one, And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. And the people in the houses All went to the university, Where they were put in boxes And they came out all the same, And there's doctors and lawyers, And business executives, And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. And they all play on the golf course And drink their martinis dry, And they all have pretty children And the children go to school, And the children go to summer camp And then to the university, Where they are put in boxes And they come out all the same. And the boys go into business And marry and raise a family In boxes made of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. There's a pink one and a green one And a blue one and a yellow one, And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same.

God bless the grass that grows thru the crack. They roll the concrete over it to try and keep it back. The concrete gets tired of what it has to do, It breaks and it buckles and the grass grows thru, And God bless the grass. God bless the truth that fights toward the sun, They roll the lies over it and think that it is done. It moves through the ground and reaches for the air, And after a while it is growing everywhere, And God bless the grass. God bless the grass that grows through cement. It's green and it's tender and it's easily bent. But after a while it lifts up its head, For the grass is living and the stone is dead, And God bless the grass. God bless the grass that's gentle and low, Its roots they are deep and its will is to grow. And God bless the truth, the friend of the poor, And the wild grass growing at the poor man's door, And God bless the grass.. + Informações

At Mr. Elliot's request I went back through my files and found this video I made for a "Weeds" contest I entered a few summers ago. Judgment was based on your rendition of the song as well as the creativity of your video. I did not even place in the top ten, disappointing only because I didn't get the dvd box set, but it was a fun experiment! I recruited a film maker friend and he brought me to this random neighborhood on Long Island. I suppose I must have left out that the song was called LITTLE boxes. Anyway, I got him to drive and hold his camera out the window at the same time, a new skill I'm sure he will apply to future shoots. :) I figured it's been too long since I've posted...I'm always too short on time! Hope you enjoy! To hear some other famous bands and musicians sing Ms. Reynold's classic for the "Weeds" theme song, go here! music.homegrownseries.com i made one of those 'most something' lists! thanks to you guys! :) #67 - Most Discussed (Today) (10.19.09) - Music (i think. how can you tell these things without counting from page to page?). + Informações

Love is something if you give it away, Give it away, give it away. Love is something if you give it away, You end up having more. It's just like a magic penny, Hold it tight and you won't have any. Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many They'll roll all over the floor. For love is something if you give it away, Give it away, give it away. Love is something if you give it away, You end up having more. Money's dandy and we like to use it,1 But love is better if you don't refuse it. It's a treasure and you'll never lose it Unless you lock up your door. For love is something if you give it away, Give it away, give it away. Love is something if you give it away, You end up having more. So let's go dancing till the break of day, And if there's a piper, we can pay. For love is something if you give it away, You end up having more. For love is something if you give it away, Give it away, give it away. Love is something if you give it away, You end up having more.. + Informações

In July 1964, The New York Times reported that one out of every six apartments in New York City had leaky taps (faucets). Malvina Reynolds sees greedy landlords as the cause and dry reservoirs as the consequence of this situation. Pete Seeger sang this song on his album "God Bless the Grass."
