Candide Overture, conducted by the composer himself, Leonard Bernstein. Concert performance of Candide with June Anderson, Jerry Hadley, Christa Ludwig, Nicolai Gedda - London Symphony Orchestra (London, December 13, 1989).

Thomas Kuhn makes a direct and explicit metaphorical parallel between political and scientific revolution. I think this has some disturbing implications.

A [Em] song to sing for beggars, a [C] song to [D] sing for [Em] saints; A [C] song to sing for [G] wealthy men, all [G] wrapped and [D] bound in [Em] chains! Our [Em] treasure's not in gold, or [C] in our [D] pie- [Em] -ty: Our [C] wealth is in an [G] answered call, the [G] longing [D] of the [Em] sea! [Em] Stormy oceans carry us to [C] lands we've [D] never [Em] known, To [C] mysteries and [G] buried secrets [G] from the [D] tales of [Em] old. So [Em] hoist the sail and raise the flag, we [C] do not [D] stop for [Em] night; We'll [C] ride the wild [G] winds and waves un- [G] -til the [D] morning's [Em] light! In [Em] smuggler's caves and tavern halls, we [C] live by [D] no man's [Em] rules. We [C] fly the colors [G] of the living, [G] free and [D] proud and [Em] true! We [Em] set out on the ocean blue to [C] escape [D] tyran- [Em] -ny; We'll [C] keep our merry [G] hearts alive so [G] long we [D] roam the [Em] sea. A [Em] man once walked along the shore, and [C] called he [D] out to [Em] me, "I [C] see you are a [G] fisherman, a [G] lover [D] of the [Em] sea. I [Em] know this world's a wretched place, but [C] if you'll [D] follow [Em] me I'll [C] take all of your [G] burdens... and [G] pirates [D] we shall [Em] be!" Yo-ho, yo-ho! https://worldwideadventurers.bandcamp.com/album/adventure-stories-volume-ii-pirates https://worldwideadventurers.bandcamp.com/track/appendix-a-the-pirate-shanty-instrumental

Everyone posts the Peter Finch rant from Network. But I think the Ned Beatty rant is MUCH more prescient.
