The pitfalls of shuffle mode XIV

Talk about a great pairing of high energy with ominous vocals.  Despite its discomforting lyrics about surveillance, I never tire of "Just A Job To Do" by Genesis.  It was only natural, then, that iTunes shuffle mode segued it this morning with...

...Peter, Paul & Mary's version of "This Land Is Your Land."  Who better to sing such inclusive, live-and-let-live lyrics than this noble folk trio?  I've always respected "This Land..." and play it on or before Independence Day every year.  It doesn't, however, mesh well with the gory bounty hunter scenario portrayed in "Just A Job To Do."

That's what I get, though, for leaving my segues up to chance.
