 And now on the 21st Century, it’s time to stand up and realize, that we should NOT allow ourselves to be crammed into this rat maze. We should not SUBMIT to dehumanization. I don’t know about you, but I’m concerned with what’s happening in this world. I’m concerned with the structure. I’m concerned with the systems of control. Those that control my life, and those that seek to control it EVEN MORE! I want FREEDOM! That’s what I want, and that’s what YOU should want! It’s up to each and every one of us to turn loose of just some of the greed, the hatred, the envy, and yes, the insecurities, because that is the central mode of control, make us feel pathetic, small, so we’ll willingly give up our sovereignty, our liberty, our destiny. We have GOT to realize we’re being conditioned on a mass scale. Start challenging this corporate slave state! The 21st Century’s gonna be a new century! Not the century of slavery, not the century of lies and issues of no significance, of classism and statism, and all the rest of the modes of control… it’s gonna be the age of humankind, standing up for something PURE and something RIGHT! What a bunch of garbage, liberal, Democratic, conservative, Republican, it’s all there to control you, two sides of the same coin! Two management teams, bidding for control of the CEO job of Slavery Incorporated! The TRUTH is out there in front of you, but they lay out this buffet of LIES! I’m SICK of it, and I’M NOT GONNA TAKE A BITE OUT OF IT! DO YA GOT ME? Resistance is NOT futile, we’re gonna win this thing, humankind is too good, WE’RE NOT A BUNCH OF UNDERACHIEVERS, WE’RE GONNA STAND UP, AND WE’RE GONNA BE HUMAN BEINGS!

 Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore. It’s not dead it’s just that it’s been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well, I’m trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it’s ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don’t be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting.

A year a go somebody
Was here and now they tell me
Our issues were the same.
Whereas I’ve recently been,
We keep on keeping you in.
Nothing will ever change.
You must have heard it humming,
You must have seen it coming.
Your back had shown the belt.
Did you just never notice?
You know what high or low is,
You brought this on yourself.

Our minds deceive us into thinking we’ll be happy when we get the right job or the right house or the right car or whatever. There is nothing wrong with wanting better things or circumstances, but these do not automatically make us happy. They may create a temporary high, but this quickly wears off. Those wanting a lasting happiness must acknowledge that this is a bottomless pit that we can never fill.

Our minds often try to trick us into thinking we’d be happier if we didn’t have to work. We imagine a life of leisure and deceive ourselves into thinking this kind of lifestyle would make us happy. However, the truth is that idleness often leads to boredom anddepression. We are industrious, creative beings. We need challenge and accomplishment to be happy. Get up and invest yourself into something significant and you will find that your happiness factor will rise .

You see men sailing on their ego trips
Blast off on their spaceships
Million miles from reality.

You guys need to step back in to reality.

A veces tengo tanto que decir

y no encuentro las palabras,

a veces simplemente tengo las palabras

y no se como decirlas,

a veces no hace falta decir nada,

a veces tienes que decirlo todo,

aveces me encierro en mi mente,

entonces pienso,

que tanto soportara, son tantas cosas

atravez de los años ahi dentro,

lo pienso y puedo navegar en mis recuerdos,

puedo reinventar, puedo hacer que mi imaginacion

me lleve a otras partes, puedo crear un recuerdo, puedo ponerte ahi dentro,

que me hace diferenciar la realidad de la imaginacion,

que hay en este cuerpo que se aferra a la tierra,

que hay en el alma que no puede ser libre,

que es lo que hace falta para volar a la felicidad.

Tu.

Hoy comienzo, no conozco el camino,

me detengo un momento para ser yo,

exploro en mi vida, y no recuerdo el dia

en el que esta comenzo, no recuerdo siquiera

el dia en el que estoy, me ayudas a perderme,

me ayudas a asombrarme, me ayudas a sentir,

me enseñas a ver el alma, asi es como salgo de aqui,

pasan horas, son segundos, pienso profundo, hablo sin sentido,

pierdo mi equilibrio, me detienes como un muro pues ahora trago tu aliento,

te siento y somos uno, nos movemos con el viento,

tus venas son mas gruesas, tus ojos estan perdidos,

tu color es poco mas rojo, y es asi como venimos.

Suddenly my conscience awakes
And I see this tide with no heartbeat
Only the pulse of machines
And the military showing their midwives’ faces
Full of sweetness
How much humanity
Exposed to hunger, cold, panic, pain
Moral pressures, terror and insanity?
What horror the face of fascism creates!
They carry out their plans
With knife-like precision
For them blood equals medals
Slaughter is an act of heroism
How hard it is to sing
When I sing a song of horror
Horror which I am living
Horror which I am dying
To see myself among so much
And so many moments of infinity
In which silence and screams
Are the end of my song.

Con viento del este hiciste una cama, 
soplaste sobre ella para templarla. 
y con el murmullo de tu voz de agua 
me cantabas nanas sin letra. 
y dormíamos tan juntos 
que amanecíamos siameses. 
y medíamos el tiempo en latidos. 
y en tus dedos yo tocaba mis canciones, 
dedos de teclas de celesta. 
y tu pulso tamborileaba en mis sienes y muñecas 
como diminutas patas de ciempiés. 
y nos repartíamos los labios y los dientes y el hipo, 
y del alfabeto, las impares.

Dearly beloved we are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life, electric word life
That means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here to tell you there’s something else, the afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night.

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything’ll be alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
Cause in this life things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life you’re on your own.
