i-valo """""" lucky me. my life is worth a hundred africans. and valued at fifty-five palestinians. i do the math as Reuters too and I know my price. i am not disheartened by that i'm half an american and I fail to give in that I'm this special if all this madness can stress, we're all equal, a sequel news agencys are filling me with a western view one could only wish that what they report is true the trust in you to explain the world, but you distort the game lull to sleep and appear diverse, but you're all the same and I fail to believe that we're this special if all this madness can stress, we're all equal, a sequel c: yes i know there is no real choice left just the amount of freedom you choose to give away i know i will be smiling and laughing all the way, i know, we know and I fail to believe that we're this special if all this sadness can stress, we're all equal, a sequel

the quiet will rise from the cracks of broken homes and railroad tracks the decay swells underneath it will tear apart this lonely street the quiet will rise and there'll be no more quiet as they pass the microphone not underground but in your home generations left alone ch1 we are the victims of ourselves we're bound and broke with everything got genitals in a magazine flooded is my pool of waste uncared in this mindless haste Cipramil® my guiding star will never drain this reservoir ch2 we are the victims of our times we're bound and broke with all our lies got ab machines on my tv screen end cause all i had to give end was never quite enough ...

bulletproof
(petroskoi)(shadrach)
how to survive in this imperfect world
how to shrug off the weight of it all
you can say i'm a part of the problem but stop (it's fair to say)
i want to you to show me someone who is not (please can you)
got nails in my coffin as you do too
i just don't understand how it's stopping you
the dispair, the heart-break, the tears that we shed
are all the worth the trouble to me now today
bridge: do what you do
i'm just fine
i'd rather not care
than constantly whine
ch; happy here with no teeth
so glad that you made it here
if all i had was this space and this time
it would be enough for me
how to keep on smiling when it's all going wrong
how to rise up and keep staying strong
shadrach my man has (kindly) showed me the way
this capitalistically-challenged-young-man
come what may - i'm always bulletproof with this
fanatic
... tested
... my light / implore / FB /
... atomkraft loviisa
Enlighten my path you chosen one
Enlighten my way i am your son
The power that they invest in you
The power that they swore was true (the Force)
Follow the pain of followers
And worship the crowd of worshippers
In vain i call your helping hand
Unveiled to be just made of man (Uncloaked)
ch; he is a god and i'm a former believer
vast is the hope that i wasted on him
of all the things that i said believe in
all of that force i found in me
Richness of life producing you
Vastness of death unanswered too
How could our hearts be lifted to (minds) (ascended)
The goodness in man so real and true (spirit) (so)
my two hands
my two (2) hands
children love me, they care for me
children love me, they care for me they care for me
grown ups love me, they build for me
grown ups love me, they build for me they build for me
i am nowhere, i'm in your head
i am nowhere, i'm in your head i'm in your head
ch: how's a world created?
plates of gold located
I had a dream and now they move to strange lands
how's a lie not faded?
girls sub-ordinated
Shine some love and they'll eat from my two hands
and all the love seems fine but the premise is flawed beyond repair

amen.
i don't want to be a software developer

bags under my eyes
you hope, hope of better days
compare to other ways
to you it seems, their grass is greener
and you dream, dream of something more
but you don't know just what for
the truth is dear, it won't get brighter here
meanwhile, i'm torn a million ways
i'm spent and used for days
assuring that it's not forever
but i'm strong, strong to keep you from
capsizing in this storm
i have your woes in bags under my eyes
bridge: and as every day passes i question this choice
i stifle this voice
and all the while that i'm willing you on
i'm standing
see if all that glitters is gold
then only half the story's told
and who is able to define
just where to draw the line?
how much of me such i be spending
and since we only get this single show
it seems too much for me to bare
and I've been told escape is never
the safest path for one to take
there isn't a single point, a point of no return
there isn't a single choice, where we took this turn
there isn't a single place, no place i'd rather be
madeleine the murderer / henry the killer
Lesley Stahl, speaking of US sanctions against Iraq: "We have heard that a
half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died
in Hiroshima. And - and you know, is the price worth it?"
Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price --
we think the price is worth it." - CBS "60 Minutes", May 12, 1996
a song about Henry Kissinger the Killer
and Madeleine Albright the Mass Murderer
--- we know them by the trail of the dead
dear Madeleine,
outsource their lives and sleep well
rule and not care who is dead
cause we are all just like you
we are all children too
dear Henry,
draw broad lines and sell yourself
the destinies you manifest
and we resign to your plan
we bow down to the man
take a flight down and account for
all the thousands that are no more
what if it's someone you love
what if it were your only son
chorus politics of power
uno reduce them to a number
violence is justice
and to what end? (where does it stop?)
instill fear and you'll be blessed
fund your jobs and mute the dissidents
we see thru your old disguise
we see no truth in your lies
chorus hear the sound of torture
två in your highest tower
smell the burning people
i know i can
