So anyway, I was just listening to the fairly new Classics Of Love EP (former Common Rider, Op Ivy) and it really made me want to write something. Nothing in particular, just a million rant subjects flowing through my brain.
"All the dreams they taught to us as kids, come to find out they serve only the rich.What the hell is stopping us (from reaching those dreams)? Obviously "the system"..."the establishment"...the years and years of tradition that put us in our place. Throw us all enough bones to keep going, doing what we're doing, and not get too out of line.
Work on the ruins and hope the money gods take pity on you against casino odds."
But what the hell is there to keep people in line nowadays? The super-popular loans that let everyone pretend they've reached their dreams have come back to bite everyone in the ass, the unemployment rate is still higher than ever, and most everyone keep their heads down and ignore the fact that everyone around them is completely fucked. That's not how I want to live.
"We walk in the alleys of the marketplace.Why the hell can't the average people get together to raise each-other out of this? Are we still all banking on the system that stuck us in this hole? We're all wasting our time. (...and I'm probably wasting my breath.)
Hold our breath in the valleys of the broken race."
