This song has sooo many truth in it, I can't let it go by.
For once I see meaning in a song lyrics.
Its quite long for a punk rock song 18:00+
But some part are really worth the reading
I taken the liberty to highlight my favorite parts.
NoFX - The Decline
Where are all the stupid people from? And how'd they get to be so dumb?
Bred on purple mountain range Feed amber waves of grains
To lesser human beings, zero feelings
Blame it on. Human nature, mans destiny
Blame it on the greediocracy
Fear of God, The fear of change, The fear of truth
Add the Bill of Rights, subtract the wrongs, There's no answers
Memorize and sing star spangled songs, When the questions
Aren't ever asked
Is anybody learning from the past? We're living in united stagnation
Father what have I done? I took that 22
A gift to me from you, To bed with me each night
Kept it clean, Polished it well
Cherished every cartridge, every shell
Down, by the creek, under brush, under dirt, There's a carcass of my second kill
Down, by the park, under stone, under pine, There's a carcass of my brother William
Brother where, have you gone to? I swear, I never thought I could
I see so many times. They told me to shoot straight
Don't pull the trigger, squeeze. That will insure a kill
A kill is what you want. A kill is why we breed
The Christians love their guns. The church and NRA
Pray for their salvations. Prey on the lower faiths
The story book's been read, And every line believed
Curriculum's been set, Logic is a threat, Reason searched and seized
Jerry spent some time in Michigan
A twenty year vacation, after all he had a dime
A dime is worth a lot more in Detroit
A dime in California, a twenty dollar fine
Jerry only stayed a couple months. It's hard to enjoy yourself while bleeding out the ass
Asphyxiation is simple and fast. It beats seventeen fun years of being someones bitch
Don't think (Stay). Drink your wine (Home)
Watch the fire burn (Be). His problems not mine (Safe)
Just be that model citizen
I wish I had a schilling. For every senseless killing. I'd buy a government.
America's for sale. And you can get a good deal on it. And make a healthy profit
Or maybe, tear it apart. Start with assumption.
That a million people are smart. Smarter than one
Serotonin's gone. She gave up, drifted away
Sara fled, thought process gone. She left her answering machine on
The greeting left spoken sincere. Messages no one will ever hear
Ten thousand messages a day. A million more transmissions lay. Victims of the laissez faire
Ten thousand voices, a hundred guns. A hundred decibels turns to one. One bullet, one empty head
Now with Serotonin gone
The man who used to speak. Performs a cute routine. Feel a little patronized. Don't feel bad
They found a way inside your head. And you feel a bit misled. It's not that they don't care, yeah
The television's put a thought inside your head. Like a Barry Manilow, jingle
I'd like, to teach the world to sing. In perfect harmony. A symphonic blank stare, yeah
It doesn't make you care. Not designed to make you care. They're betting you won't care.
Place a wager on your greed. A wager on your pride.
Why try to beat them when, a million others tried?
We are the whore. Intellectually spayed
We are the queer. Dysfunctionally raised
One more pill to kill the pain. One more pill to kill the pain. One more pill to kill the pain
Living through conformity
One more prayer to keep me safe. One more prayer to keep us warm.
One more prayer to keep us safe. There's gonna be a better place
Lost the battle, lost the war. Lost the things worth living for
Lost the will to win the fight. One more pill to kill the pain
Na na na na na
La na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
The going get tough, the tough get debt. Don't pay attention, pay the rent
Next of kins pay for your sins. A little faith should keep us safe
Save us
The human, existence
Is failing, resistance
Essential, the future
Written off, the odds are
Astronomically against us
Only moron and genius
Would fight a losing battle
Against the super ego
When giving in is so damn comforting
And so we go, on with our lives
We know the truth, but prefer lies
Lies are simple, simple is bliss
Why go against tradition when we can
Admit defeat, live in decline
Be the victim of our own design
The status quo, built on suspect
Why would anyone stick out their neck?
Fellow members Club "We've Got Ours"
I'd like to introduce you to our host
He's got his, and I've got mine
Meet the decline
We are the queer
We are the whore
Ammunition
In the class war
We are worker
We love our queen
We sacrifice
We're soilent green*
We are the queer
We are the whore
Ammunition
In the class war
*Refer to the movie "Soylent Green" see wikipedia.
Tell me what you think.

Why can't it work... again
I love it when I see these things happen, not for the bad nature of the event but because it point out what I like to say out loud.
A school in Japan has detected an amout of 1.62 millisieverts on a child after only 3 months. The maximum dosage if I can say so, is 1.00 millisieverts within a year according to the Japaneese government. So they did an investigation and discovered that contaminated concrete was used to build a building housing refugee from the Fukushima district.
So they discovered that a quarry north of the plant which sits in the no-go zone has been shipping gravel to 19 compagnies and many of these do construct housing.
In that case the building which was built with the contaminated gravel was showing more radioactivity within the wall than outside, thats where a dozen families live.
Again the power of money in your sight. As long as money will be more important than the human that produce it, these kind of thing will continue to happen.
We need not a social government, we need a human government.
Stop with the compagny incentive and work for a more humane earth.

If anyone beleive that their is no Propaganda - S'il y a encore des gens qui ne crois pas a la propagande
From an article from Kotaku.com
"A video game developer working for Kuma Reality Games has admitted that the company has been receiving money from the CIA to design and freely distribute special movies and games with the aim of manipulating public opinion in the Middle East. Amir Mizra Hekmati, a former U.S. Marine, moved to work for Kuma after working for DARPA and has said the goal of the company was to convince people that whatever the U.S. does in other countries is a good measure. Kuma officials have declined to comment, while Hekmati himself is locked in Iran. The United States government has demanded the release of Hekmati, but Iran has sentenced him to death for spying, which he confessed to."
When the a government body pay game makers to make game to introduce idea in the players mind if this is not considered propaganda I don't know what is. If they do this for people outside of their jurisdiction and country can you imagine what they can do when its their people and they dont have to ask to do it?
=== French ===
Traduction aproximative d'un article parut sur kotaku.com
"Un developpeur de jeux video travaillant pour Kuma Reality Games a admis avoir recu des sommes d'argent de la CIA pour produire et distribuer gratuitement des video speciaux et des jeux avec le but de manipuler l'opinion publique dans le Moyen-Orien. Amir Mizra Hekmati, un ancien U.S. Marines a demenager pour travailler avec Kuma apres avoir travailler pour DARPA et a affirmer que le but de la compagnie etait de convaincre le peuple que peu importe ce que fesait le gouvernement etat-uniens dans d'autre pays sont de bonne mesure. Les dirigeants de Kuma ont refuse de commente l'incidant, pendant ce temps Hekmati est emprisonne en Iran. Le gouvernement etats-Uniens a demande la liberation de Hekmati, mais l'Iran l'as condamne a la peine de mort pour espionage ce que Hekmati a avouer."
Quand une agence gouvernementale paye une compagnie de jeux pour introduire des idee dans l'esprit des joueurs si ce n'est pas considerer de la propagande, qu'est ce qui peut l'etre? Si il le font a des gens dans d'autre pays imaginez ou il peuvent aller lorsqu'il s'agit de leur propre peuple!

The moneytary system - Le systeme monetaire
We live in what the economist call a free market. There are very few rules on how we conduct business but then I see things I dont quite understand.
The general rule of free market is that you have to be competitive to survive (as a business) and it make sense in its own way. Then why do I see government shelling out lots of money to save dying company?
In my local area we have a shipyard, it's been on the verge on bankruptcy for many many years and as season pass and go we see around once in tow years that company filling for bankruptcy and then the worker pleas and the government "inject" a few hundred thousand dollar or is it a few millions dollars to save it.
I tough the point of free market was a kind of "evolution theory" were the weak perish for the stronger to survive. Well it not the first time something don't make sense.
But then the banks in the US filled for bankruptcy... that was a revelation for me. If the holders of the moneytary system themselves file for bankruptcy then whats holding that system together? If we follow the rules then if they can't be profitable then they must close.
And since they represent the system itself then...
It occured to me.... that system has lived its life its time for something new.
== French ==
Nous vivons dans ce que les economistes appelent un libre marche. Il y a peu de regles sur la maniere dont nous conduisont nos transactions et c'est alors que je vois des choses que je ne comprend pas.
La regle general dans un marcher libre est que vous devez etre competitif pour survivre (en tant que compagnie) et ca fait du sens selon leur concept. Mais alors pourquoi est ce que les gouvernement utilise de l'argent pour sauver des compagnies qui ne survivent pas car elle ne sont pas competitive?
Dans mon coin nous avons un chantier naval qui est sur le bord de la faillite a tout les 2 ans a peu pres. A ce moment les travailleurs pleure un peu se plaigne et le gouvernement "injecte" plusieurs centaine de millier ou est-ce quelques millions de dollards pour le sauver.
Je croyais que le but du marcher libre est de laisser mourrir les compagnies inconcurante pour laisser celle qui fonctionne prendre le marcher. Un genre de theory de l'evolution pour les compagnies.
Mais quand les banques des etats unis ont commencer a faire faillite... cela a ete une revelation pour moi. Si les pilliers du systeme monetaire eux meme font faillites.. dans ce cas qu'est ce qui tiens le systeme en place? Si nous suivons leur propres regles alors si les banques ne sont plus profitable on dervait les fermer. Et puisqu'elle represente le systeme lui meme...
Il m'est venu l'idee... que ce systeme a vecu sa vie, il est temps de passer a autre chose.

A new political party - Un nouveau parti politique
I'm so fed up with politics. They all clame change but rarely do, and when they make change its for the worst.
So I had an idea, what if I started a new political party. Something that really will make real changes.
Here it is:
The science party or Forward party
Im not sure yet, but that just a name, what really count? Well its promises.
Actually one of the first thing is, this party ain't gonna make any promisses since I can't assume i'll be able to fullfil them.
So here it is my plans if you will:
My global plan is to take a scientific approach to solving our social and political problems.
What it means is that I will try to use scientific method of analysing our problems one at a time, proposing an hypothesis on what the problem really is, make and experiment to see if the hypothesis was correct and then ask someone else to run the experiment en see if my result were correct, finaly put in place a solution to this.
Some of my way of thinking:
1. We live in a free market and what creates jobs is idea. So to foster job creation I will promote creativism by cutting in the copyright laws, the patents and such. Not in a wide maner but field by field. I will also try to destroy those who use these laws in bad ways.
If you apply for a patent you have max 3 years to come up with an application if you dont you get to pay a fee and your idea become public domain. Create something useful or you dont get anything.
Cultural copyrights stays but have those limitation 20 years or the creators death. No you can't have a free ride. Everyone must contribute, you can't just live on your grandfather or father's success. Yes Miss Presley, your fathers work is public domain so you can't sit on your ass and just accumulate wealth, you'll have to work for it now.
Technological copyrights are to be examined more closely field by field but some things so far are: No software patents... in computer software re-use is the greatest thing.
These would foster innovation and creativity, not lazyness and trickery.
Those are ideas i think would be worth trying.
==French==
Je suis vraiment desabuse de la politique. Ils clamment tous le changement, mais le font si rarement et quand ils le font ce n'est pas pour le mieux.
Donc j'ai eu une idee, et si je fondais un nouveau parti politique. Quelquechose qui va vraiment pousser pour du changement.
Voila:
Le parti de la science ou le parti de l'avant.
Je ne suis pas certain encore, ce n'est qu'un nom, qu'est ce qui compte vraiment? He bien les promesses. Mais franchement une des premieres chose est que ce parti ne fera pas de promesses puisque je ne peux savoir maintenant si je vais pouvoir les suivres plus tard.
Donc voici mon plan:
La chose principale est que je voudrait adopter la methode scientifique pour regler nos probleme politiques et sociaux. Ce que ca signifie? Je vais analyser le probleme, poser une hypothese, creer une experience qui va me permettre de determine si l'hypothese etait bonne puis demande a d'autre de faire l'experience pour valider mes conclusions et finalement poser des actions concretes pour regler le probleme.
La maniere dont je pense:
Nous vivons dans un marche libre et ce qui creer du travail se sont les idees je vais donc promouvoir la creativite en coupant dans les lois de copyrights, de brevets et autres du genre. Pas dans une maniere large mais domaine par domaine. Je veux aussi detruire ceux qui profite de ces lois de maniere perverse.
Si vous appliquer pour un brevet vous avez maximum 3 ans pour arriver avec une application concrete ou un produit sinon vous aller devoir payer des frais et vos idees seront dorenavant du domaine publique. Creer quelquechose d'utile ou vous n'aurez rien.
Les copyrights du domaine culturel resteronts mais seront limite a 20 ans ou la mort du createur. Non vous ne pouvez pas avoir un tour gratuit. Tout le monde doit contribuer, vous ne pourrez pas simplement vivre sur le succes de votre pere ou de votre grandpere. Oui mademoiselle Presley, les chansons de votre pere sont du domaine publique, vous ne pouvez plus rester assit sur votre derrier et juste accumule de la richesse, vous aurez besoin de travailler a partir de maintenant.
Les copyrights technologique eux seront examiner plus precisement mais certaines de mes idee a date sont: Pas de brevet logiciel... dans l'informatique la recuperation est primordiale, pourquoi re-invente la roue quand vous pourriez l'ameliore a la place.
Voila ce qui encouragerais l'inovation et la creativite, pas la paresse et mesquinerie.
Je crois que ces idee valent la peine d'etre essayer.
