We’re assured abortion stops a beating heart
\nBy the same hand that insists God meant there to be nukes here from the start
\nBy the same voices that assure us that the only way Christ didn’t die in vain
\nIs if we assume Siddartha and Mohammad were insane
\nWhen they tell me about the conditions on unconditional love
\nI have to ask..
\nAre you all buying this? Am I the only one who thinks it’s nuts?
\nAre you all onboard with the idea of money printed with “In God We Trust”?<\/p>\n
We’re assured that big brother knows best
\nEven though he can’t decide if the enemy is the north, south, east, or west
\nBut rest assured, there is a enemy! We promise! So keep your guns clean..
\nAnd make sure you’re just one more cog in our machine
\nBut when they tell us about the next war
\nI have to ask..
\nAre you all buying this? Am I the only one convinced I’m stuck in hell?
\nWhen we measure our freedom by the number of guns we sell..<\/p>\n
We’re assured that happiness is something you buy, not something you learn
\nBy advertisers on every channel, by assaults on our senses at every turn
\nBut most of what I want can’t even be bought or sold
\nAnd the assurances of retail therapy have really gotten old
\nSo when I’m told a new car will solve all my problems
\nI have to ask..
\nAre you all buying this? Am I the only one who thinks we’re lost?
\nAm I the only one who even knows every object has a hidden cost?<\/p>\n
We’re assured that we really need to live in fear
\nEven if you don’t see the monster under your bed, it really is here
\nBe afraid of everyone, trust no one, don’t ever let love in
\nIt’s in the fear of love, not small minded ideas about sin, that the devil really wins.<\/p>\n

By the way, $person, I’m well and clearly aware that I’m not going to have any sort of romantic entanglement with you this lifetime. If you’d listened to the mp3s I sent you, you’d hear me say that – as I observed, that train has sailed. I just wanted our friendship back, a lot a lot a lot. And I didn’t want to have to lie to you to get it. However, you put me in kind of a bad position when you told me not to write you. Because sane me won’t, and insane me has a major lack of internal filters on what he will or won’t say. He’s not *dangerous* – I’ve been around all sorts of people in manic episodes and nothing bad has happened to anyone – he’s just not the most contained person in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
