The Nazis line has nothing to do with what happened between the Nazis and Jews. As papageno19on and others have pointed out, it relates more to people believing that doing something is right or wrong based on hearsay rather than making truly informed decisions (blind advocacy). |

As an American (though I only speak for myself)... "Goodbye, the future's sold out There's no use screaming Who thought we'd ever get this far" We've sold out (along with generations before us) to false wars, big money/banks/oil, useless political polarization and will continue to do so to our end. The forces that seek to form our thoughts and control our wallets cannot be stopped. There's no use trying to fight the system; it has become too powerful (imo, we would need to start over). ...and with all these problems that just seem to get worse, it's amazing to think we even made it this far. "I know you must be upset..." The growing resentment because of any number of things... the financial crisis, lost jobs, government, meddling in/making a mess of foreign affairs, double standards, medication culture, loss of perceived privacy, media indoctrination, force-fed civil (e.g., gay) rights, integration and "multiculturalism". And then, the people who are upset or apathetic because they have a feeling that something is not right and don't know what it is or don't know what they can do about it. "Hey is anybody home Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness That everyone becomes" Possibly the loss of family structure (nobody is home) and general "togetherness" leading to a society of lonely people who seek out personal success and wealth over a sense of cohesion. "Has anybody painted fear On the bedroom walls that save us from..." The walls that we've erected around ourselves really don't save us from anything, even though we are led to believe that our neighbors are our enemies (everyone's a potential terrorist). Have we (or they) gone so far as to place that fear inside the very spaces we consider to be most safe? Maybe I'm a tad pessimistic? :) |
