Real Situation

Check out the real situation
Nation war against nation
Where did it all begin, when will it end
Well it seems like the total destruction
The only solution

And there ain't no use
No one can stop them now
Ain't no use nobody can stop them now

Give them an inch they take a yard
Give them a yard they take a mile
Once a man and twice a child
And everything is just for a while
It seems like total destruction
The only solution

And there ain't no use
No one can stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now

Check in the real situation
Check it out, check it out
Nation fight against nation
Where did it all begin, where will it end
Well it seems like the total destruction
The only solution

No use can't stop them
Ain't no use can't stop them
Ain't no use no one can't stop them now
Can't stop them now
Ain't no use no one can't stop them now
Ain't no use you even try
Ain't no use got to say bye bye
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
No one can stop them now



There is no more hope - the GOP has destroyed the country and took the rest of the world with it.

1. Thank you Little Mary Sunshine
Don't mind us if we carry on, however.

6. Change is the only thing we can ever count on
There is nothing special about this particular empire... Study history and you'll be less inclined to make these kinds of posts.

11. this "history" has spanned the past 25 years with no end in sight.
A criminal administration with mass media in it's pocket. An agricultural industry that feeds the nation poison, silicone breast implants for any dumb broad who thinks she needs them, a populace that votes against its best interests or doesn't care to begin with, etc...

Yeah, wait for change, the pendulum will swing the other way.... blaa, blaa, blaa.

At this rate, change will happen when democracy actually hits the Middle East.... like few hundred years if even.

13. Yes, and humans have been on earth...
...for many thousands of years.

25 years isn't a sneeze in the universe. There are other empires quite powerful that have come to an abrupt stop.

The Next Worst Thing

"It has been called a modern-day Manhattan Project—a spending spree so vast and rapid that it might change the face of biological science. In the wake of 9/11, the U.S. government is funding a massive new biodefense research effort, redirecting up to $10 billion toward projects related to biological weapons such as anthrax. The Pentagon's budget for chemical and biological defense has doubled; high-security nuclear-weapons labs have begun conducting genetic research on dangerous pathogens; universities are receiving government funding to build high-tech labs equipped to handle deadly infectious organisms; and Fort Detrick, Maryland, once the home of America's secret bioweapons program, is about to break ground on two new high-tech biodefense centers."

Plus the country is being run by lunatics. Which wouldn't be so bad - if there was not so much power at their disposal.

I think it's unprecedented. It may take a few more decades to completely ruin the planet - but it's not going well - IMO.

9. The only certain thing is change.
History repeats itself. Always and forever.

Look for a change in the wind...

15. Now why does that remind me of...
Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world I'll turn it inside out - yeah
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me

I'm burnin' through the sky yeah
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes I'm havin' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all

Yeah, I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode

I'm burnin' through the sky yeah
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you

Don't stop me don't stop me
Don't stop me hey hey hey
Don't stop me don't stop me
Ooh ooh ooh, I like it
Don't stop me don't stop me
Have a good time good time
Don't stop me don't stop me ah
Oh yeah
Alright

Oh, I'm burnin' through the sky yeah
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time (wooh)
Just give me a call (alright)
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time - yeah yeah)
Don't stop me now (Yes I'm havin' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all


Which never used to make me cry, until an English chap named Jon Kennedy used it as his funeral song.

I watch too much TLC...
