We must know the truth, and we must love the truth we know, 
and we must act according to the measure of our love.

From time eternal, they've tried to fuck us over.
I mean, why do these things have to happen?  Why does this
shit have to mess us up, all the time?

I fell in love with this chick, and all this damn social
conditioning made me too bloody afraid to declare my love.
After I finally gained the courage to get past all the
niceties and tell her about it, her parents had to move
because of this damn fascistic thing called money.  I mean,
why should some dipshit that sits on his ass all day long
watching stock reports be able to buy a condo and whores
and love, when the poor janitor who works his ass off,
harder than the other guy ever did, make a twentieth, no
a hundredth, and still not be able to support his family.

Some may say that the millionaire has worked hard to gain
his luxury, but is that really the truth?  Not harder than
the other guy, that's for sure.

And they continue to breed this mindless zombie-ism, this
gluttony for money, in time that we and they could spend
finding love, or sex, or art, or actually bettering our
intellects instead of the mindless pursuit of a grade
number so we can forget the knowledge we wasted our time
learning by rote in the first place.  Why do we require
economics instead of music to graduate from high school?
What is a better way to improve society?  To spend your
time playing music, or shooting off a gun, or stealing
other peoples livelihoods on the stock market?  To go and
see the beauty of the mountains and the clear rushing
streams, or the twisted debauchery of the streets?

But why do we have to live like this?  Hurting, aspiring
towards 'peace at death'.. Man, why can't I find love?
Nirvana escapes me..  Life is getting to be a serious
infringement upon my life.  So fuck them.. Take it upon
yourself to learn something useful.. Get together and make
love, or help somebody that hurts get out of this trap they
call life.  Let's learn to give them our kind of life..
Beauty rather than greed, love rather than mindless
vengeance.  Save the rainforests or something.
We can do anything, should we desire.
