The Daily Good Morning 05082018

Today is the 99th anniversary of the very first issue of Art Young's Good Morning. And so we celebrate without balloons, for they are dangerous to both animals and people...

 

The Daily Good Morning (To Laugh That We May Not Weep)

 

99 Luftballons (Good Morning Remix - Translated from the German)

 

Do you know what time it is

If so we will sing for you

Of 99 luftballons

Floating above the horizon...

 

One for every year of print

One versus ninety nine percent

Who see 99 luftballons

And do not want the war that follows...

 

99 luftballons

Floating above the horizon

They said, "Socialists should all be dead"

Told us the luftballons were red

 

So they sent their military

Have a budget, more than plenty

The talking heads were on the news

Said, "With prayer to God we can't lose!"

 

99 fighter jets

Each one armed more than the next

Thought that they were judge and jury

Kill them all kill in a hurry

 

People took them at their word

Sent their sons and daughters to be burned

'Cause there upon the gold horizon

99 luftballons fly

 

99 war ministers

White phosphorus canisters

Billionaires and corporations

Corpor(e)al Machinations

 

All shouting "WAR" and wanting power

Expecting all of us to cower

Who dreamed it'd still be like this

Because 99 luftballons fly

 

99 years of war

Likely they want 99 more

Seems all those red luftballons

Were really red, white, and blue...

 

Today we do another post

Looking forward, looking past

Nearly a century so fast

Here's to this year not being our last...
