Best advice ever given in a song

"Don't, stop, thinkin' about tomorrow..
"Don't, stop, it'll soon be here..
"It'll be here better than before..
"Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.."
 
"A buck knife, a saw blade, a lead pipe, a twelve gauge
Could've done him in, could've put him by
A buck knife, a saw blade, a lead pipe, a twelve gauge
I could've deep-sixed him, wouldn't bat an eye"

"Deep Six", Big Black

 
For Petes Sake- The Monkees.

Love is understandin'
Don't you know that this is true
Love is understandin'
It's in everything we do
In this generation
In this lovin' time
In this generation
We will make the world shine
We were born to love one another
This is somethin', we all need
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're goin' to be
And what we have to be, is free

Alright, how about this then?

Proletarians don't accept their lies my friends, they owe you more than they can give you
They owe you everything, the lands, the mines, the rivers, the hills, the factories and mills
They owe you happiness and life
Take what you can get, but don't take their lies
Think of your class
Remember your strength
For you, for you the cents
For you, for you the dollars
For you, for you the cent
For you, for you the dollar!
Fight!​

Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
("Kill them all; let God sort them out", in the vernacular.)

How is it that no one has ever used this as a title? Metallica alludes to it with Kill 'Em all, but the full quote is a gem. I've contemplated using it, but the last time I made the mistake of publicly airing a gem of a title, someone else stole. (At least I appear on said record, but then, frankly, it sucks. As a general rule, spending more than 80 hours in a studio yields unlistenable shit.)

According to wiki, Marilyn Manson apparently used a similar line somewhere, but does that even count?

Socialist music, I think we can see some flaws here.

Who's "we"?

(Also, it's "they owe you more than they give you", not "they owe you more than they can give you." Obviously. Not my transcription.)
