I really feel that these lyrics hit home more and more with me - i'm sick of the way things are today from the corporate greed to the politicans and their lies. I'm half tempted to pull an Alexander Supertramp myself - but i don't know if i have the balls to do it.

It's a mistery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed
You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
there's those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like its starting from the top
you can't do that...
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
As you live your life in sometimes quiet desperation, facing adversity and tragedy: if you have hope and love, that mixture helps you overcome that tragedy and go on with the rest of your life.”

    I feel like this a lot too.

    It's sad, really sad.

    I had an incident the other day with a group of kids all under the age of 14.
    The dis-respect they had and their actions amazed me. I can be upset with them all I want but I had to step back and look at the BIG PICTURE....with that, again, I discerned that society is FUCKED!

    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    I came to the realization that a portion of society and some people in general just suck.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    all that matters is that you care ... when the day comes that things don't bother you is the day things are truly fucked ...

    It's not just about society, it's about everyone.

    You think you have to want
    more than you need
    until you have it all you won't be free
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.
