Outraged yet? Tired..and by that I mean sick and tired of the violence yet? Some kind of human committed the disgusting attacks on the hotels in Jordan and robbed families of their loved ones, robbed the world of people like Moustapha Akkad and all the other precious souls that went up in flames...Enough...whoever they are and I'll be damned if i know who got together with whom to send this filthy message to the world...(And what message that would be depends on where you take your theories from)...but whoever you blame and whatever the reason you assign...the point is that it's been time, for a long time now, to say enough... Not the kind of enough that means it's ok for me to bomb the hell out of you, but not for you to do it...the kind of enough that says all violence, no matter what slimy mask of 'just cause' has been plastered to it's horrorible face, is unjustified...there is a 7/7 or a 9/11 or an 11/9 happening somewhere all the time..in Iraq in Colombia, in Chechnya in the DR Congo ... in the ghettos and the slums and the hands of the working poor... in occupied territories and forgotten places.. in the secret prisons and the not so secret ones and in the noose and the injection that we use even when we know that the system that metes out your judgement is flawed..in the way we choose to make someone different...in the landmines lying quietly in wait for the next child to lay small feet on them... in the hospitals filled with people who will die of preventable diseases because of choices made by the dead heart of big business..in the bodies of people who are ravaged by the poisons we continue to pour all over the planet and ourselves, knowing full well there are alternatives... you don't have to strap a bomb to yourself and be a militant to take part in murder...you just have to choose to be silent..to ignore...and when is it that we start to really look, and really act? How much more has to happen before we get off our comfortable behinds and do something useful? Does the horror of what we have become as humans really have to come and knock so close to us and our loved ones before we take notice?... and don't we already know it will be too late then...What are we doing to make this world livable? I am so tired of asking.

wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction

whether you're soaraway sun or BBC 1

misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction

you coulda Caucasian or a poor Asian

racism is a weapon of mass destruction

whether inflation or globalisation

fear is a weapon of mass destruction

..

whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone

greed is a weapon of mass destruction

we need to find courage, overcome

inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

my story stops here, let's be clear

this scenario is happenin' everywhere

an' you ain't goin' to nirvana or far-vana

you comin' right back here to live out your karma

with even more drama than previously... seriously

just how many centuries have we been waitin'

for someone else to make us free

an' we refuse to see the people overseas

suffer just like we

bad leadership and egos unfettered and free

who feed on the people they're supposed to leadi

don't need good people to pray and wait

for the Lord to make it all straight

there's only now, do it right

Faithless
