"popular sovereignty"

Thank you for that, Mr. Shoe.

MY GOD. I JUST REALIZED HOW INAPPROPRIATE THIS SONG IS.
Alive With The Glory Of Love by Say Anything

It won me over last year (thanks Marisol) and I listened to it day and night for like 8 months. About World War I.
My favorite part:

Should they catch us and dispatch us to those separate war camps.
I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you with the passing of time….Oh, yeah.
Should they kill me, your love will fill me as warm as the bullets, yeah.
I'll know my purpose: this war was worth this. I won't let you down…

And then:
And when our city vast and shitty falls to the Axis, yeah…
They'll search the buildings, collect gold fillings, wallets, and rings…oh, yeah.
But Miss Black Eyeliner, you'd look finer with each day in hiding, oh yeah…
Beneath the wormwood, ooooo, love me so good…
They won't hear us screw away the day.

What on earth?
I can't help but giggle in a weird sort of way.

Hell...if the Nazis were coming to get me I'd be screwing a girl all day too. Sounds good to me.
