“Please tell me it’ll be okay”
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
You can just replace company store with whatever capitalist institution owns you. 🫠
Ten million dollars in a losing campaign
Twenty million starving and writhing in pain
Big, strong people, unwilling to give
Small in vision and perspective
One in five kids below the poverty line
One population running out of time
Bad Religion, Punk Rock Song from the album The Gray Race.
Abracadabra boom-shacka-dae
I’m Violent J and I’m back like a vertebrae
And I come with a hat full of tricks
Trunk full of Faygo, car full of fat chicks.

And love is made more powerful By the ongoing drama of shared experience And the synergy of a kind of symbiotic empathy, or something
It’s when murder is justice that martyrs are made
A one gun salute for the new Independence Day
One Gun by Lamb of God
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
- Pink Floyd, Time
The older I get the less I like that one
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. - Freewill by Rush.
Deine Gewalt ist nur ein stummer Schrei nach Liebe
Deine Springerstiefel sehnen sich nach Zärtlichkeit
Du hast nie gelernt, dich zu artikulieren
Und deine Eltern hatten niemals für dich Zeit
Oh-ho-ho, Arschloch!
I only lived in Germany for a bit, but this one stuck in my head pretty hard. Schrei nach Liebe by Die Ärzte

They do quiet, existential despair like no-one else.
It’s the English way

“At night all the ancients, and the superhuman crew, come out and round up everyone, who knows more than they do.”
“Goddam, well I declare, have you seen the like? Their walls are built of cannonballs, their motto is don’t tread on me.”
“I don’t know, but I’ve been told that it’s hard to run with the weight of gold. Other times I’ve heard it said, that it’s just as hard with the weight of lead. One way or another, something’s got to give. One way or another, this darkness got to give.”
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed, Everybody knows the war is over, Everybody knows the good guys lost, Everybody knows the fight was fixed, The poor stay poor, the rich get rich, That’s how it goes, Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking, Everybody knows the captain lied, Everybody got this broken feeling, Like their father or their dog just died, Everybody talking to their pockets, Everybody wants a box of chocolates, And a long-stem rose, Everybody knows…
