Running Out The Clock

 

Wrecking Ball

When the game has been decided
And we're burnin' down the clock
And all our little victories and glories
Have turned into parking lots
When your best hopes and desires
Are scattered to the wind
And hard times come and hard times go and
Hard times come and hard times go and
Hard times come and hard times go and
Hard times come and hard times go and
Hard times come and hard times go
Yeah, just to come again

Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
C'mon and take your best shot
Let me see what you got
Bring on your wrecking ball

WHAT the Boss said!

Bruce Springsteen had the misfortune of releasing his Wrecking Ball at virtually the same time as Miley Cyrus’s more popular and different Wrecking Ball.  That is unfortunate because I heard the Boss sing it in person ( and Donald Trump,  I have been in several  Springsteen crowds.You may dream of having more people than the Boss as you did at your Wildwood, NJ rally on May 11, 2024, BUT YOU SIR ARE NO BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN).

It is unfortunate that it did not become more widely played, because it has IMHO the finest words by which to live.  Your opponent may think they have dominated you,  forced you to burn down the clock, and give up before the game is over.  But play on as hard as you can against that opponent.  “So hold tight to your anger, Hold tight to your anger, Hold tight to your anger, And don't fall to your fears”. “I will stand my ground, I won't back down”.  “Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light”.   BRING ON THAT WRECKING BALL.
