You’re clearly not taking the title “Don’t Look Back In Anger” to heart. But also people are missing the lyric “please don’t put your life in the hands of a rock and roll band who’ll throw it all away”.

The force and power in this song is just something else.

Is it too late for us all?
And did Martin Luther King just die in vain?
