charlton heston

so the world's a mess and what?
your fatalist views and futile nature can change it?
i'm calling bull and you're just washed up,
bitter that a world didn't heed your call.
well, you didn't call out loud enough.
you have the time, you can find the money,
you can do what you want,
but it's just -
what, too damn hard?

so everything you say will make me stronger
and i will bathe in your sighs
and refute your lies
until this goddamn world realizes that
well, yes we can.

but maybe you can't.

1) it's charlton heston. :D
2) this sounds punx.
3) kerri, if the song is about a generational fall-out, it should be called allen ginsberg.
1.5) SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE??!?!

i mean generational fall-outs as in the rift between parents and children. like how my parents don't like theirs.

and, we have to watch that.

and noah, you're cool.
