The Rebel Black Dot Song o' Yesterday

Mittwoch, 10. Oktober*
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Unified" from While We're At It (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary:
"We're not here to misinform you,
We are only trying to warn you.

"We are with you not against you,
We only hope you got the common sense to
Realize, we're unified,
And realize we are here to back you,
And not let anybody else attack you,
So you know we're on your side,
We're unified,
We're unified…

"It's not something you signed on for,
What you were built for or designed for.

"We are with you not against you,
We only hope you got the common sense to
Realize, we're unified,
And realize we are here to back you,
And not let anybody else attack you,
So you know we're on your side,
We're unified,
We're unified…"
*Kommentar: Mittwoch is my favorite German name of a day of the week. Many of the German day names, like our English day names, deprive from the gods of Germanic paganism: the English Thursday, from "Thor's day," & the German Donnerstag, "Donner's day," Donner being the Germanic equivalent of the Norse Thor. The English Wednesday is from "Woden's day," whereas the German Mittwoch means, "midweek." I enjoy that immensely.
