Mad and Educated, Primitive and Wild
Hm. The first song in my “R.E.M. Revealed” playlist (random songs from my extensive R.E.M. collection) this morning: “Welcome to the Occupation”.
Hang your collar up inside
Hang your dollar on me
Listen to the water still
Listen to the causeway
You are mad and educated
Primitive and wild
Welcome to the occupation
What if we give it away?
While looking for the previous link to the lyrics for Welcome To The Occupation, I found out that Murmurs.com started a peer-to-peer network called “give it away” for trading live and unreleased R.E.M. tracks. Evidently they’ve run this by the band, since the band also gave them permission to include B-Sides from the various singles as well as fan-club-only releases.
