thinking culture youth
All of youth culture is packaged and sold back to us at this furious rate these days. I think it's part and parcel to this corporate encroachment on our lives in general.
people culture taste
[The 'corporate takeover of people's lives'] also accounts for a lot of homogenization of culture. There are fast food restaurants everywhere. Every place tastes the same.
art culture alternatives
There is no alternative. A Democrat is a Republican is a big businessman, and we're all consumers instead of citizens. It just manifests in the culture, in the music, in the art. I feel a little panicky about it.
thinking grace culture
I think the music industry, for instance, is such a huge, multibazillion-dollar industry and it's become very, very savvy. There's a very short grace period in which actual human rebellion or resistance can thrive before it's co-opted by these huge companies. And all of youth culture is packaged and sold back to us at this furious rate these days. I think it's part and parcel to this corporate encroachment on our lives in general.
queen
I'm queen of my own compost heap, and I'm getting used to the smell.
talk wonder
I like you, but I know you don't know it. I like you so much, I talk to everyone but you. And I wonder what you would think of this little number. I wonder what you would say if you knew.
club life membership owe people
I've got more than one membership to more than one club and I owe my life to the people that I love.
free gonna home leave sing
Take me home. Take me home and leave me there. Think I'm gonna cry, don't know why. Think I'm gonna sing myself a lullaby. Feel free to listen. Feel free to stare.
american-musician art definition ends living mean seem
Art is why I get up in the morning; my definition ends there. You know it doesn't seem fair, that I'm living for something I can't even define. And there you are right there, in the mean time.
blood blue cuz nation office oval phony royal son third thumb
Cuz take away our playstations and we are a third world nation under the thumb of some blue blood royal son who stole the oval office and that phony election.
both close oh
Both hands... Now use both hands. Oh no, don't close your eyes.
balloon began bit forth hope money passions people
As it began to balloon before our eyes, and more and more and more and more people and money were involved, it was a bit overwhelming. But you just go forth with your passions and hope for the best.
