Too Little Too Late

I'm not really one to argue based on the Bible (don't wanna get tied down), but I very strongly believe this song is about how the lives we're living are totally not how god made us to live. Too much sugar, too much phoniness, too little exercise, too little reward for spirit. Our heads are heavy with useless information. Modern Western society is the only place in the history of man that you find things like chronic depression, asthma, obesity, etc. Things like love, courage, and spirit don't make as much money as other things, and so they are discredited, useless, unmarketable skills.

It all makes me wanna not care what I wear, and in fact take it all off. Makes me feel really good to listen to this song, or watch the scene from Network where the guy says: "I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!'" or read that quote from Johnny Rotten: "You don't write 'God Save The Queen' because you hate the English race. You write a song like that because you love them, and you're fed up with them being mistreated". Ted Kaczynski saw that this modernity and the myth of progress and technology and shit was an unstoppable force, that we've done too little too late since the Industrial Revolution to prevent our own destruction. I like to think it's not too late, coz otherwise all we can do is blow each other up.
