Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture spencer Wanna Be	#1 by spencer mccarthy at Mar 29, 1984 at 9:57 AM EST
	The line ''Still knee deep in the system's shit'' is a reference to ''Knee Deep In Shit'', a song by Rip Rig & Panic.

No Picture Jason Rhythm Player	#2 by Jason ...... at Jul 10, 1994 at 11:11 PM EST
	Haha, yeah Jel, Al Yankovic should do a parody song of it :oD By the way, Capitalism ISN'T evil. Every political system and idea has advantages AND disadvantages. Also the nature of the nation's history, character, leadership, culture and location can be deciding factors in whether a political culture is good/bad. The UK is deemed "good" capitalism, Albania is bad. Sweden has GOOD socialism, Chile has bad. So stop making sweeping generalisations if you can't back them up against anyone apart from a consummate political scholar. If abused, the communist system could enslave a nation's people far worse than capitalism would allow. It would be a fantastic system if human nature wasn't greedy and exploitational, but it sadly is, so Marx's wonderful ideals will never truly bear fruit. Just remember, it's capitalism that gave you the opportunity and funding for the education to LEARN about politics (if any of you have, of course). You should all try reading P.J O'Rourke's "Eat The Rich" for further explanation.

No Picture Katie Wanna Be	#3 by Katie St. Michel at Apr 10, 2002 at 11:13 AM EST
	darktoss, commies are not evil, they're better than fascists this song is about people waking up to media disinformation, governments lying, and just general desensitization to all of that nonsense and jargon. To steal from timothy leary, it's telling us to think for ourselves and question authority, because authorities lie, because we dont know who we are, and to make order in chaos, the authorities, the religious, the educational, etc, have made up rules and regulations, but they're not necessarily right.
