The thin red line

This great evil. Where does it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doin' this? Who's killin' us? Robbing us of life and light. Mockin' us with the sight of what we might've known. Does our ruin benefit the earth? Does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed through this night?
Private Witt - The Thin Red Line

Buckethead - Funbus

Why has the humour died in music today
everyone is so serious that I'm afraid to say
tough guy stance is lost on me
violence is necessary it proves you are free
happy being sold mediocrity
failure only happens from originality
Its more important to be tough than to have any fun
like an insecure human who fears everyone
music is art that we're afraid to enjoy
like a child who's outgrown his favourite toy
afraid to acknowledge what makes us feel good
afraid to leave the mould , if we only could
a group is always easier to follow
then finding something new to swallow
so give us the art that's boring and plain
its easier to be different when its the same
fear something new till we're told its ok
no time to explore no time to play
the craving for new is something to shun
thinking is bad it spoils the fun
(This is the Vikings of humour as they row their mighty war crafts into battle part)
discover yourself with mass appeal
pretend your choices make you real

Think different...

"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently" - Friedrich Nietzsche
