Have It Your Way

'You leave us all behind Broken with precision Blind leading the blind Have it your way You've left us all behind Riddled with deception Pepper us with lime Have it your way'

That part of this song, specifically, is only mildly political. Our way of life bleeds through into our nation's politics. Blind leading the blind indicates that people who are doing things wrong are teaching others. Celebrities account for a massive amount of entertainment in this country and celebrities are rewarded for being vain and drama-riddled. They are handed money for creating adverse situations that suck in viewers' attention. Reality shows constantly fead a stream of worthless mannerisms and mentalities into the average American. Listen close, I'm not just talking about the 'boob-tube'. Hell, it goes outside of the media altogether.

If I make eye contact with the guy in baggy jeans and a puffy coat at the gas station I'm going to get my ass beat. I'm not the kind of guy that looks like an easy target either, its not just for personal gain. People have become riddled with some kind of hate disease that I see everywhere. I see in the office and I work for a major pharmaceutical company - a highly regulated environment where I see people trying to place blame on systems that are working fine because they fucked up and don't wanna admit it. I see people dodging pain they should be responsible for ending and causing pain from nothing!

And now I'm going to stop ranting, because if you're reading this you're probably not one of the people I need to be talking to.

Just really take a step back and look at what you're doing. Look at who you're affecting and how. Hell, try something different - even if its something that's currently working great - just to see if you can improve it. Solve a problem for no reason other than to help, to feel good.
