PO-ATE-TREE KORNER.

Just like ducks being fed / All we get is stale bread.
Just like cattle at the water / Fattened up and sent for slaughter.
Just like the beasts at Noahs Zoo / We're kept in line two by two.
Just like the clouds on a windy day / It's easy to get blown away.
But just like a bird in a clear blue sky / I spread my wings and start to fly.

HIGH STREET
I took a walk and what did I see
Miles and miles of misery.
Down in the town they offer heaven
For all your pounds.
Get back home open up the bag
Then get the feeling you’ve been had.
Just more shit you didn’t need
Consumption feeds their fix for greed.

The Wall

‘Excuse me,’ they cry, ‘you can’t fight it; twice two is four! Nature doesn’t ask you about it; she’s not concerned with your wishes or with whether you like her laws or not. You must take her as she is, and consequently all her results as well. I mean to say, a wall is a wall, etc. But good God! What have the laws of nature and arithmetic to do with me, when for some reason I don’t like those laws or twice two? Naturally I shan’t break through the wall with my head, if I’m really not strong enough, but I wont be reconciled to it simply because it’s a stone wall and I haven’t enough strength to break it down. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky (In Notes From Underground)

'Brothers and SistersI wanna see a sea of hands out there.Let me see a sea of hands.I want everybody to kick up some noise.I wanna hear some revolution out there, brothersI wanna hear a little revolution.Brothers and sisters, the time has comeFor each and every one of you to decideWhether you are gonna be the problem,Or whether you are gonna be the solution.You must choose, brothers, you must choose.It takes 5 seconds, 5 seconds of decision.Five seconds to realize that it's time to move.It's time to get down with it.Brothers, it's time to testify and I want to know,Are you ready to testify?Are you ready?I GIVE YOU A TESTIMONIAL, THE MC5 !!!!'
