lyrics

Simplicity:

Life should be made as simple as can possibly be but not simpler than what can be possibly.

Complacency:

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Authority:

Without wisdom is an axe without an edge fitter to bruise a young mind than to polish it.

Conformity:

One dog barks at something and millions upon millions bark at the bark.

Take me down south to a small town where green grass still grows on the ground and where the children have not yet lost their imagination.

Take me down south to a small town where mother nature can be found  and where the children have not yet forgotten fascination.

Rationality:

That which is rational  is that which is REAL  and that which is real is that which is RATIONALITY.

Facts:

Unlike the masses intellectuals have a taste for rationality  and an interest in the facts.

Sorcery:

Now known as advertising, marketing,  dark suggestion, and/or underground animal psychology.

Elvis Aaron Presley:

Still living large under a palm tree in New Mexico somewhere between Taos and Albuquerque

Insanity...

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly  sick  society .
