Which was written about #PattiSmith. (Fun fact: I was voted "Most likely to become Patti Smith in high school in the 1980s). 2nd fun fact: Mike Scott (of The Waterboys) is my distant cousin.

Remembering Karl Wallinger from World Party
(October 19, 1957-March 10, 2024)
@KathyLK Remember this from the 1980s? #KarlWallinger summed up the "#LittleManWithin" in this song!
The Ballad of the Little Man "He was doing fine in '39 Thank God he did not win He kept playing on his fiddle As he watched old Rome cave in He sold love away from his children's hearts And told them it was sin Now we're all at the mercy, we're all at the mercy Of that little man within Now he's sitting in the gardens As the acid rain comes in He got it covered full of rhino heads And boots of leopard skin He got the means, he make the harvest high But you can count those hungry people die We're all at the mercy Of the greedy man within So if you're feeling lonely, baby If you're feeling blue If you listen to your little friend You know he'll tell you what to do But if you hear his words and you get confused Start believing they're all true Then you have just been fooled again Who said we won't get fooled again? By the little man within" - #KarlWallinger, #WorldParty, 1986 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm6YuQdT8bQ #Inauguration2025 #LittleManWithin #Fascism #Nazis #TheLittleManWithin #80sMusic #TheBalladOfTheLittleMan
The Ballad of the Little Man
"He was doing fine in '39
Thank God he did not win
He kept playing on his fiddle
As he watched old Rome cave in
He sold love away from his children's hearts
And told them it was sin
Now we're all at the mercy, we're all at the mercy
Of that little man within
Now he's sitting in the gardens
As the acid rain comes in
He got it covered full of rhino heads
And boots of leopard skin
He got the means, he make the harvest high
But you can count those hungry people die
We're all at the mercy
Of the greedy man within
So if you're feeling lonely, baby
If you're feeling blue
If you listen to your little friend
You know he'll tell you what to do
But if you hear his words and you get confused
Start believing they're all true
Then you have just been fooled again
Who said we won't get fooled again?
By the little man within"
