from 1987's "Document"
You're beautiful more beautiful than me
You're honorable more honorable than me
Loyal to the Bank of America
It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times
You're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business acumen.
Vested interest united ties, landed gentry rationalize
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America
It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times
You're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business acumen.
Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America
"Let us not assassinate this man further Senator,
You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir?
At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
You're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business acumen.
Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik
You've seen start and you've seen quit
(I'm addressing the table of content)
I always thought of you as quick

Another of my alltime favorite REM songs, absolutely brilliant and totally catchy, I almost have to jump up and bounce around in dance when I play it.

The use of audio from the actual Army/McCarthy hearings is first rate. And makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
They believed in "witches" in those days.

amazing song, discovered R.E.M. in the summer and they truly blow me away, one of the greatest bands of all time, no doubt. just got Document and Monster the other day, both soo good. im reallllly impressed by this album though i gotta say, this song mindfucked me when i first popped it in and listened to it.

The worst problem with McCarthy truly lied not in the "witch-hunting" so to speak -- for there were Communists in our government. The greatest flaws of McCarthy are that he was a drunk rabblerouser, that he always behaved as more of a showman that a statesman, that he accused everyone and anyone, proof or not, of Communist conspiracy, that he thought of himself as invincible, that he went after the United States military (!), and that he forever delegitimized anti-Communism for decades to come.

@treesloth9 mccarthy was a witch hunter

Only R.E.M. could create an album that was both very political and very catchy.

America's three great witchhunts:
the Salem witchhunt of the late 1600s
the Mccarthy anticommunist witchhunt of the 1950s
the child sexual abuse witchhunt of the 1980s - present

This album is better than green in my opinion.
