Come Armageddon, Come Armageddon...

I’m sure most of you will agree with me when I say that the news has done very little for me in recent weeks other than give me a headache accompanied by a hint of nausea. It’s been a while since I had any real faith in our government or the Man Upstairs. My faith in humanity has served as the foundation for my belief that the world isn’t going to total shit. As of late even that is slipping, because when I turn on the ol’ tube I see idiots getting attacked by chimpanzees, mothers with no money having 8 children, as well as full-scale riots at high school basketball games. It also doesn’t help that when I go to class I hear kids talking about the “civil unrest” that is on its way and how they “can’t wait to loot”. If it does resort to that (which it won’t) and your biggest concern is scoring a big screen you’re probably an asshole and I hope you drop it on your foot. So where am I going? There is a lovely little number by the band The Hope Conspiracy that I feel addresses the situation spot on and I figured I would share it with yall!

And so they feed
All the pigs in a row
Row after row
They stick their noses deep
Deep in the shit
The shit they are thrown
Guilty, they're all guilty
Guilty fucking pigs

The past never dies
And history never lies
Or so I've been told
My faith in man has broken
My faith in god was stolen
I see this world's illusions
Through bitter eyes

They feed like pigs
On greed and lies
Noses pressed
In the shit

Guilty, we're all guilty
Guilty fucking pigs.

Yeah I know, "Gettin' all heavy on the blogger." Don't care, bite me.
