The hillbilly version, because it's Friday Eve -

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

"What goes around comes around" - Some old dude who had seen a lot more of life than me when I was but a teenager.

Nena sent me off to war again after I had done sworn off of it due to a narrow escape with this song. I reckon some folks just can't even scrub that shit out of their blood with bleach. It was a scary world then, just as it is now, but I wanted to find a way to end the scariest parts without having to blow everything up as the song suggests... so off I went. thanks to Reagan, we got 'er done, and the world was relatively quiet for a while. A very little while.

But then new dangers raised their ugly heads to fill the void left by the demise of the Soviets...

... and here we go again! It's someone else's turn this time. i'm too long in the tooth for that shit now. And we don't have Teagan this time around. We've got BidenHarrisCarter again. God help us!



Or, if one prefers the original German:




And, for those kids these days that ain't being taught proper history in school any more, and instead are being taught that my generation is at fault, that we started all this shit:



The more things change, the more they stay the same. There is always some son of a bitch standing in the wings and just waiting to jump into a vacuum left by the last son of a bitch so he can take his own turn at fucking everything up.

More evidence that the more things change, the more they stay the same, this time evidence from the newsroom floor.. there is near 40 years between these two videos regarding "news" services, a sizable chunk of my life time, and nothing has really changed. I believe @"BIAD" can verify that, from the ground up.

This is a little fucked up. I recall this song from when i was a child. When the carnival came to town, it was the song played on the merry go round. It was also the theme for at least some of the Three Stooges shows, and some cartoons. All kids fare... but the song is about a mockingbird singing above the grave of the singer's true love. Yeah. A little fucked up to turn it into a kid's song.



This is to commemorate some shit that is coming down the pike. If they don't back the hell off, we won't either. So.



Yeah. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

"[Intro]
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
Don't worry what people say, we know the truth
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
Enough is enough of this garbage
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
(Overlapping voices)

[Verse 1]
Skin head, dead head, everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Bang bang, shot dead, everybody's gone mad

[Chorus]
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us


[Verse 2]
Beat me, hate me, you can never break me
Will me, thrill me, you can never kill me
Jew me, sue me, everybody do me
Kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me

[Chorus]
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us


[Post-Chorus]
Tell me, what has become of my life?
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
I'm tired of being the victim of hate
You're ripping me of my pride, oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy, set me free

[Verse 3]
Skin head, dead head, everybody's gone bad
Trepidation, speculation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Black male, blackmail, throw the brother in jail

[Chorus]
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us


[Post-Chorus]
Tell me, what has become of my rights?
Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now

I'm tired of being the victim of shame
They're throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
You know, I really do hate to say it
The government don't wanna see

But if Roosevelt was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no


[Verse 4]
Skin head, dead head, everybody's gone bad
Situation, speculation, everybody, litigation
Beat me, bash me, you can never trash me
Hit me, kick me, you can never get me


[Chorus]
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us


[Bridge]
Some things in life
They just don't wanna see

But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no


[Verse 5]
Skin head, dead head, everybody's gone bad
Situation, segregation, everybody, allegation
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food
Kick me, kike me, don't you wrong or right me

[Chorus]
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us"

I love you, mainstream media. I really do.

Please allow me to demonstrate the vast depths of my endless love and endless dedication towards your wise guidance:

"Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices."

-Jean-Paul Sartre
Yea, drums....... 


Like a hurricane with a hat on I was looking for danger
I was out there all on my own trying to make sense of it all
And with my day to day battles and the travels that last too long
I'm just trying to find a place where I belong

And with your eyes mean muggin' judgin' me, baby, I kinda feel like Al Capone
Hightailing bootlegger liquor across the state line into Chicago
And on a stallion made of fire I will set ablaze to the terrain
And the only thing that's different is that nothing's gonna be the same

Oh baby, I'm not the devil
And if I'm no good for your soul
Then it's only fair I tried to let you know

And while you're a hundred million miles away I can try my best to right my wrongs
Of all the places in the world, babe, nothing's more familiar than the place that we belong
Cause except for the small changes everything there is always the same
And if I never come back will anybody remember my name

Oh baby, I'm not the devil
But I chose in life to roam
I know you need more than a man on a telephone
Oh baby, I'm not the devil
And soon I'll be coming home
To show you that my heart ain't made of stone
I'm coming to keep you from being all alone

So keep your head up, baby, rest easy
I'm coming home and you better believe me
That when I put my foot in the door
I won't wanna leave here anymore
So keep your head up, baby, rest easy
I'm coming home and you better believe me
That when I put my foot in the door
I won't wanna leave here anymore

Leave here anymore
(I'm not the devil)
Leave here anymore
(I'm not the devil)

Keep your head up, baby, rest easy
I'm coming home and you better believe me
That when I put my foot in the door
I won't wanna leave here anymore
So keep your head up, baby, rest easy
I'm coming home and you better believe me
That when I put my foot in the door
I won't wanna leave here anymore

Leave here anymore
(I'm not the devil)
Leave here anymore
(I'm not the devil)
Leave here anymore
(I'm not the devil)
I was born with a Thorn in my Soul, sometimes it hurts.

Thank you @"Moonmagic" i enjoyed that one.

What a rugged, RUGGED voice and awesome lyrics.

I slept for 3 hours last night. Coffee refused to work. Listening to this song forced it to work. Good. I will participate in this thread later today. I have been postponing some duties all the way to the point where they can no longer be postponed, and now all of this demands action.
