Digital Doggy Bag
So much violence ends in silence...

<center>" Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try to run
Nothing's what it seems, I mean
It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean
There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sale in magazines
There's pills for rent to make you clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother

Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame
For all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV, D.C. is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go to the counter, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash "</center>

This song perfectly says what I think when I hear about Terrorists, Police Shottings, Gunnings, Drive By Shottings, War...

Why does man have the urge to sencelessly kill each other?
Does our hate blind us that much?
Or...
Is it something else?

What for? Gold,Oil,Land?
At what cost?
One life? A hundred lives? A million?

At what cost is the bloodshed?

So much violence ends in silence...

In Memory of thoses who have died, by terrorists, murders, robbers and all other forms of hate violence.

*silence for a moment*
I wish I knew what made people do such things... It may sound corney, but we're all humans... we all have souls and feelings... beliefs and friends (no matter what people may think...) Why do people choose not to acknowlegde this? What is so bad about a different religion? Race? Country? Life style? Different does not mean bad or evil, although a lot of people seem to think it does...

*sadness* It is truely sad that our country is falling down the path of destuction. I have seen alot of this, which is truely sad. I know I shouldn't but I will say it... 'Anachy is the only way to go'.... ninja

I like the lyrics though, did you make them yourself? I can relate to 'There's children paying bills' -.- Sad how life works out like that.

blaugh Oh, oops. I don't listen to alot of her songs. My bad. sweatdrop

I like it... XP I don't like that those things are happening but I like the fact that we can blame it on one person. I don't totally blame it all on bush though. I am still republican... sweatdrop I know that sounds weird. But it is standing also against the goverment... who don't help us a whole bunch... and standing up against the people who make America suck. *Points to her pink hair* But the make a stand thing I totally agree with. mrgreen
