Hehe, that's about 10 songs in a 25 year career. And most references are of the caliber: Fuck politics, let's party! He sings politically neutral...

"Peace"
"The War" -- really more spiritual than political tho
"Daisy Chain" -- more about the music industry than anything

Sighn of the times is of course a given, but is everyone really missing this one the most classic and political of all princes songs!!Maybe its just me being over analytical. No its not me. HELLO 1999!! Seriously really listen to the lyrics. [quote] When I woke up this mourning could have sworn it was judgement day! neutral

How about...

Hello -

We're against hungry children - our record stands tall - but there's just as much hunger here at home.

The Word -

Don't matter how far u have 2
The truth has got to be told
Don't matter how shiny ur lips
They'll never b streets of gold
They might try 2 get us crazy
Cuz they don't know what eye've heard
We got this new xhaltation
Eye'm talking about the word


The Future

Systematic overthrow of the underclass
Hollywood conjures images of the past
New world needs spirituality that will last
I've seen the future and it will be


Dolphin ...

Why does my brother have 2 go hungry
When U told him there was food 4 all?
This is the man that stands next 2 the man
That stands 2 catch U when U fall


Dance On

Grenade launcher roars in a television sky
Tell me how many young brothers must die?

[Edited 5/10/07 0:54am]
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams.
