2112 Presentation
I know it's most unusual To come before you so But I've found an ancient miracle I thought that you should know
Listen to my music And hear what it can do There's something here as strong as life I know that it will reach you.
Yes, we know, it's nothing new It's just a waste of time We have no need for ancient ways The world is doing fine
Another toy will help destroy The elder race of man Forget about your silly whim It doesn't fit the plan.
I can't believe you're saying These things just can't be true Our world could use this beauty Just think what we might do.
*We CAN bomb the World to pieces, but we CAN'T bomb it into PEACE*...Michael Franti
*MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*
.....song_Music & Politics....Michael Franti
*The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite INSANE*....Nikola Tesla(a man who shaped our world of electricity with his futuristic inventions)
Did you understand the music, or Yoko was it all in vain?
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

A song by RUSH on the travels for the best weed on can find......
A Passage To Bangkok
Our first stop is in Bogotá To check Columbian fields The natives smile and pass along A sample of their yield Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams Golden Acapulco nights Then Morocco, and the East, Fly by morning light
We're on the train to Bangkok Aboard the Thailand Express We'll hit the stops along the way We only stop for the best
Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon We burn the midnight oil The fragrance of Afghanistan Rewards a long day's toil Pulling into Kathmandu Smoke rings fill the air Perfumed by a Nepal night The Express gets you there

Every breaking wave on the shore Tells the next one there'll be one more Every gambler knows that to lose Is what you're really there for
Somewhere else fearlessness Now I speak into an answer phone
Like every silent leave on the breeze Winter wouldn't leave it alone
Hey now, hey now I don't know if I'm that strong I don't know if I'm that strong I don't know if I'm that strong To be somebody To need someone
Every sailor knows that the sea Is a friend-made-enemy Every shipwrecked soul knows what it is To live without and to receive
I thought I heard the master's voice It's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore This was as far as I can reach
Hey now, hey now I don't know if I'm that strong I don't know if I'm that strong I don't know if I'm that strong To be somebody To need someone
The waves know where are the rocks And drowning is no sin And you know my heart is In the same place yours has been And we know the fear of winning So we end before we begin
The waves know where are the rocks And drowning is no sin You know my heart is The same place yours has been And we know the fear of wind Should end before we begin
One their BEST songs in years hard to get it out of my head. I think a song about love like in poker are you ALL in OUT with the risk of losing it all.
Peace

This song from Metallica’s third album is an anti-war song. It is one of the most intense songs Metallica has ever written, with certain sections performed at 220 beats per minute.
The lyrics tell the story from the point of view of a soldier on the battlefield who receives orders from his general to keep fighting, no matter how many will die. The general believes his soldiers are merely expendable tools.
Disposable Heroes
Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all Victim of what said should be A servant 'til I fall
Soldier boy, made of clay Now an empty shell Twenty-one, only son But he served us well Bred to kill, not to care Do just as we say Finished here Greetings, Death He’s yours to take away
Back to the front You will do what I say, when I say Back to the front You will die when I say, you must die Back to the front You coward You servant You blind man
Barking of machinegun fire does nothing to me now Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow More a man, more stripes you bare, glory-seeker trends Bodies fill the fields I see The slaughter never ends.......
As the song continues its one of their best songs from Master of Puppets
Peace

"Show me how you do that trick The one that makes me scream" she said "The one that makes me laugh" she said And threw her arms around my neck "Show me how you do it And I promise you I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge I kissed her face and kissed her head And dreamed of all the different ways I had To make her glow "Why are you so far away?" she said "Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you That I'm in love with you"
You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Strange as angels Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes And found myself alone alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me
You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Just like heaven

I know it's most unusual
To come before you so
But I've found an ancient miracle
I thought that you should know
Listen to my music
And hear what it can do
There's something here as strong as life
I know that it will reach you.
Yes, we know, it's nothing new
It's just a waste of time
We have no need for ancient ways
The world is doing fine
Another toy will help destroy
The elder race of man
Forget about your silly whim
It doesn't fit the plan.
I can't believe you're saying
These things just can't be true
Our world could use this beauty
Just think what we might do.

A Passage To Bangkok
Our first stop is in Bogotá
To check Columbian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the East,
Fly by morning light
We're on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
We'll hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best
Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
We burn the midnight oil
The fragrance of Afghanistan
Rewards a long day's toil
Pulling into Kathmandu
Smoke rings fill the air
Perfumed by a Nepal night
The Express gets you there

We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief..
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go..

Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one there'll be one more
Every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you're really there for
Somewhere else fearlessness
Now I speak into an answer phone
Like every silent leave on the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone
Hey now, hey now
I don't know if I'm that strong
I don't know if I'm that strong
I don't know if I'm that strong
To be somebody
To need someone
Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend-made-enemy
Every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
To live without and to receive
I thought I heard the master's voice
It's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This was as far as I can reach
Hey now, hey now
I don't know if I'm that strong
I don't know if I'm that strong
I don't know if I'm that strong
To be somebody
To need someone
The waves know where are the rocks
And drowning is no sin
And you know my heart is
In the same place yours has been
And we know the fear of winning
So we end before we begin
The waves know where are the rocks
And drowning is no sin
You know my heart is
The same place yours has been
And we know the fear of wind
Should end before we begin
One their BEST songs in years hard to get it out of my head. I think a song about love like in poker are you ALL in OUT with the risk of losing it all.

No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
A servant 'til I fall
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty-one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here
Greetings, Death
He’s yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blind man
Barking of machinegun fire does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory-seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends.......

"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
"Forgive every being,
the bad feelings
it's just me"
