Elton John – Where to Now St. Peter? Lyrics 7 years ago
As a Vietnam Veteran (1966 mostly around the DMZ) I immediately identified with the lyric 'It took a sweet young foreign gun'. Indeed. The courage of those 'peasants' standing up to the most vicious military in history (not at all how I saw it at the time!) was a wake-up call for more than just some of us Vets. The relatively comfortable life of working people in advanced capitalist countries contrasts sharply with what I saw in SE Asia and the Philippines. And, I always heard the words 'This lazy life is yours' and not 'short'. I now know that, ultimately, capitalism has had nothing to offer humanity since the 1890's and THAT realization was sudden, dirty, and violent. And whether the lyrics mean I'm dead or not one thing is for sure : "I understand I'm on the road where all that was is gone" and I'll continue on that road until it ends.

Addict. Probably a junkie. This is a perfect description of the collateral damage left in the wake of an active addict's path through life.
