Tuesday, Oct. 01, 2002 - but still it's hard to ignore all the news reports that say we must defend ourselves and fight on foreign soil against the infidels with the oil wells. god saves gas prices.
1:39 am
the world spins on the axis of the dollar sign
yeah, there's nothing greater than knowing
you could buy and sell the lives of others
forget about philanthropy all i want is more stores in the mall
one more gap or banana republic
you know the more you get the more you want
so let's just buy another suv
and cruise to the next business meeting
we've got to eat up the little competition
because no one else should reach the top
it's a lonely view when you're at the pinnacle
you've got to claw your way up
forget about those you trod on
even if it's everyone else you once loved
because capitalism is a religion
and there are no false idols allowed
and the dollar is the sacred
and heaven is the corner office on the tenth floor

If the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall then I think we'd see the beauty then we'd stand staring in awe at our still lives posed like a bowl of oranges, like a story told between the fault lines and the soil. ~ Bright Eyes - Bowl of Oranges

...or the story is in the soil, keep your ear to the ground.
