Independence
Well, as usual I am late in writing. I got over quite a bit of the self-pity. And kind of rescinded my decision. We’ll see. I’m going to the financial aid office tomorrow.
What I had meant to put in my blog last пятница или суббота или воскресенье, for all those with their little displays of pop patriotism: THIS COUNTRY SUCKS! But as usual the Ved-man can say it better:
Pearl Jam – Grievance
Have a drink they’re buying
Bottom of bottle of denial
Big guy. Big eye watching me
Have to wonder what it sees. ???
Progress laced with ramifications
Freedom’s big blur. Oh
Pull the innocent from a crowd
Raise those sticks then bring them down
If they fail to obey
Ah, if they fail to obey. Yeah yeah
For every tool they lend us a loss of independence
I pledge my grievance to the flag
Cause you don’t give blood then take it back again
Oh we’re all deserving something more
Progress taste it invest it all
Champagne breakfast for everyone. Everyone
Break the innocent when they’re proud
Raise those stakes then bring them down
If they fail to obey
Yeah, ha, if they fail to obey
Pledge your grievance to the flag
Cause, don’t give blood then take it back again
Oh, we’re all deserving something more
Have a, have a drink, drink. Have a, have a drink, drink
I want to breathe
part of the scene
I want to taste
everyone I see
I want to run
when I’m up high
I want to run to the sea
I
want
life
to be
I just want to be
want to be
I will feel
alive
as long as I am free
Why didn’t I go see them, why?
