I know whats your saying. Its funny, if you talk ( argue) with those people from the nevermore board they are totaly against the goverment. I dont think it would matter if Kerry won the elections, they would still bitch about what ever, now check this out....schenkadere said:I think so...especially in seeing the reactions by people here on these boards...people are far too affected and far too attached to things that are beyond their true reality. Look at the fascination with celebrity, for example...people actually get upset and judge and form opinions about people they will never know...this is fed by the media and music can have much the same impact. There are many examples of loonies and their reactions to lyrics or the break up of bands...those are extreme but the influence can also be more subtle.
5. The Politics of Ecstasy
I hate you, the pigs who turn the screws, I hate everything you stand for
I hate the world we've bred, political pigs we've fed, our fathers left us nothing but a dead world
Beyond repair down in despair, our fathers left us nothing
Choking on the influx of technology I realize the politics of ecstasy
And we can't change what's in stone
We've been had. Injustice to the masses, destroy the land and crush the poor
The pigs are fueled by greed, political ways obscene, our fathers left corruption in this dead world
Beyond repair down is despair, our fathers left us nothing
Choking on the puke of their industry, regurgitated propaganda ministry
Freedom's never free, the politics of ecstasy are these:
Freedom's never free, these are the politics of ecstasy:
I hate you , the pigs who turn the screws, I hate everything you stand for
I hate the world we've bred, political pigs we've fed, our fathers left us nothing but a dead world
Beyond repair down in despair, our fathers left us nothing
Choking on the influx of technology I realize the politics of ecstasy
Freedom's never free, the politics of ecstasy are these:
Freedom's never free, the politics of ecstasy are these:
If you take a step back and you realize your home can't be a perfect world
There's still hope the hate you fell will fade, injustice is gone:
Injustice is gone for a little while

And you disagree with this?
Yes I do, the general public as a whole views this as progress. People like Warrel Dane write songs based on his feelings about the goverment. Like Inside four Walls....Where Warrels buddy got locked up for selling weed or some shit....Skeckz said:And you disagree with this?
Inside four walls I live my life,doesn't matter what I've done
The governement's always right
They tell us what to be they tell us what to believe
They're wrong my friend is gone
Inside four walls,
Inside four walls
The day they took away my friend
Injustice made it's mark
All the political whores only come out after dark
If anyone knows the way
Build me a bridge so I won't fall astray
Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies
The system falls apart
The pigs still laugh feeding off our broken lives
Can anyone tell me why
Some violent criminals do far less time?
Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies
Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies
Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
But they'll never take your mind

Now why did Warrle Danes friend get locked up? He broke the law. If you dont follow the law, the goverment will punish you for your crimes. The law is created for people who comitt the crimes. For years there were no laws against Beastiality in Washington state. Now it took Lord Galatrons boy friend , Barry, taking a horse dick up his ass, getting his colon tore up and dying from it for them to create a law against it. Now all the homo horse fuckers are going to be outraged and say shit like it is their right to screw horses and that the goverment is bad.
How about this for a senerio,
John Does friend, Jim sold a shit load of weed to a bunch of distributers that were pushing that shit at playgrounds and school, selling to minors. Now Johns freind, Jim didnt know that the weed was being sold at schools, lets say he didnt care where they sold it as long as he was getting paid. The police find out about it. They want to big guys who is moving the weight. so after investigating for a while the have enough evidence to bust Jim.
After going to court, by a trial judged by his peers, Jim is found guilty of operating a criminal enterprise, possesion with intent to distribute, and a slew of other charges. He is sent to prision for 20 years no parole.
Does Jim Deserve what he got?
Can anyone tell me why

say10 said:It depends on the person. Myself, I don't agree with alot of things Billy(among other artists, but since this is his board, I'll use his) says, However, I don't believe he is a racist or bigot as some people claim. He's an outspoken individual who happens to be very opinionated, which I love. Its a very rare trait to have this day and age. I probably don't agree with 75% of his political views, but like I said, thats not why I come here.
You see some assholes who listen to Rage or System who start spouting off about Bush, just because they think it makes them sound intelligent or well informed, but you can always see right through jerks like that anyway. If you don't like Bush, then fine( I happen to think he's just above being sweetly retarded). But don't base it off some toolbag who sounds like he's yodeling over distorted guitars or hiding behind an effects rack.
