We're living out the greatest paradox known to mankind going all about it from the wrong side Obsessed with self-expression we customize our face and facebook Look at any college student's music preferences and see the same ten things in different orders What is music but the confluence of a billion inspirations starting from before we began Go to any live show and you'll experience the penultimate compilation of all music known to man Unless its a pop show cuz I heard lots of those are mere recordings Any jazz gig has slave songs Coltrane Dixieland and Louis all at once even if the performers and audience don't realize it Every musician can list a long line of influences All these inspirations were affected by countless other musicians before them and it goes on and on and on All music is the result of all music that came before it and will become and influence all music after it And this does not apply only to music but art, poetry, any writing politics, economics, language Everything We are the direct, indirect product of all history Look at the word history His Story Its our story And not just mankind We used to be primate rats surrounded by towering Dinos Think about that next time you see road **** Millions of people are abused every day, we're only abusing ourselves Drinking ourselves silly Smoking our lungs out We're too lazy or ignorant sometimes Too caught up on getting rich to realize we made money to make life easier Trade is best with a common currency and that should be Love.
