"If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness." -Carl Sagan

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Theodore Roosevelt

Music Is Power
Richard Ashcroft

Music is power
Let open your mind
You're just like a flower
Yeah, in the deep sunshine

Are you invited to the party of life?
Now you've decided, do you live til you die?

These are wild, wild, wild days we live in
Yes, I kow sometimes we all want to give in
These are strange, strange, vain days we live in
Yeah, I know sometimes we all want to give in
Don't give up, oh no, alright
Let the melody flow, all night, all night

Cos' music is power
It's easing your soul
Rock me like a cradle
It won't let you go
If the meldoy's timeless
It won't let you down
Feel the air moving
Submit to the sound

In these wild, wild, wild days you live in
Yes, I know sometimes we all want to give in
These are strange, strange, vain days we live in
I know sometimes we all want to give in
Don't give up, oh no, alright
Let the melody flow, all night, all night

After all we go through
Oh, the endless grind
Bad days, good fortune
Yeah, all things you'll find
Cos' music is the mantra unwinding your head
Music is the question to things unsaid

These are wild, wild, wild days you live in
Yeah, I know sometimes you all want to give in
These are strange, strange, vain days we live in
Yeah, I know sometimes that you just don't fit in
Don't give in, don't give up, don't pack it up, stop crackin' up
Let the song carry you on and keep you strong

Don't want to control ya
Cos' music is the power
Submit to the sound
Feel the air movin', movin'
Submit to the sound

Break The Night With Colour
Richard Ashcroft

Fools they think I do not know the road I'm takin'
If you meet me on the way hesitatin'
That is just because I know which way I will choose

The corridors of discontent that I've been travellin'
All alone the search for truth, the world's so frightnin'
Nothing's going right today cos' nothing ever does

Ooh, I don't wanna know your secrets
Ooh, they lie heavy on my head
Ooh, let's break the night with colour
Time for me to move ahead

Monday mornin' coming down like understanding
Momma thinks you are the clown, you're lookin' so frightened
Nothing's going right today cos' nothing ever does

Ooh, I don't wanna know your secrets
Ooh, they lie heavy on my head
Time for me to break my cover
Time for me to move ahead

You've been giving it up
Here it comes again

Ooh, I don't wanna know your secrets
Ooh, they lie heavy on my head
Ooh, let's break the night with colour
Time for us to move ahead

"In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms." -Stephen Jay Gould

Why Not Nothing?
Richard Ashcroft

I ain't got time for your politics
Or your masquerading Machiavellian tricks
Goodbye, ya know I ain't got the time

You don't deny it, it's abuse of the cross
Lets get some of God's squad in the dark
Where they belong
Oh, where's your son?

It's a hard road on your own
You gotta learn the way, you do
Take my advice don't let them treat you like a fool
Hey pain, I'm gonna look you in the eye
That's when we started singin...

Why not? Why not nothing? (repeat)

Deny your own survival through your every day
Who the fuck are you when you take that mask away?
Friend, I don't know...Where do we go?

I don't know what's real or blue screen
Hollywood's directing World War III
What's going on?
Oh, pass me the gun

It's a hard road on your own
You gotta learn the way, you do
Take my advice don't let them treat you like a fool
Hey pain, I'm gonna look you in the eye
That's when we started singin...

Why not? Why not nothing? (repeat)

"If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." -Samuel Adams
