Mankind in a nutshell

"We are not what was intended" -John Doe



Base.
How low can we go?
Fuck the Beatles, I'm an animal
An upright ape with opposable thumbs
To hold the clubs
To hold the guns
Swing low sweet chariot
God bless my DNA
Drunk drive my Chevy to the levee
Let the flood come and sweep me away
No this ain't the apocalypse
It's the way shit has always been
From Sodom to Saddam
Attila to Tienenmen
A quarter million years of human being
A quarter million years as a human stain
We use ten percent of our gorgeous brains
And leave the rest up to cocaine
Lucy in the sky
Got her hands on a new shotgun
Lucy in the sky
Got her hands on a Remington
Lucy in the sky
Her shiny diamonds drenched in blood
And I know where the wild things are
Don't look far
Don't look far
'Cause I got wisdom in my teeth
And terror in my wars
Yes, I know where the wild things are
Don't look far.
Don't look far.
There's a reason that it's hard to look in the mirror.
There's a reason that it's hard to go to the zoo
And there's a reason you want to pry open the cage
See, you should be there, too.

or basically...THIS:

  7. the lyrics are very moving and i like how he chooses to word and describe things, it really colors the song with his view instead of our own

  11. Good job, man! Expose the satan-worshiping evolutionist's lie for what it is! EVOLUTION IS A LIE PERPETUATED BY THE LIBERAL AGENDA! THEY ARE TRYING TO STEER OUR NATION AWAY FROM GOD

    1. hmmmm...I didn't know how to respond since I wasn't sure if you were being ironic/trolling or legit. Then I checked out your blog and now I think you're serious.

      This post wasn't meant to bash evolution, but to instead, illustrate the shortcomings of modern (and ALL of) human civilization. But really, I just wanted to share a song from a sweet band I saw last week. Hopefully, even if you don't side with it's lyrical content, you can tap your feet to it's pretty gnarly groove.

  19. Great post, mate. Although, we don`t use only ten percent of our brains. It`s a myth.

  21. What Kris said. If we used anything close to 100% of our brains at any time it be like having a seizure.
