OVERCOME, SURVIVE, CHANGE THE MUSIC OR FUCK OFF:

Quick! Change the music
to something happy
something loud and proud and funky!
NOW!

No more dirges of fascistic sorrow
No moretales of war and conservative woe
No more lies told to us by family friends, politicians and strangers
NO MORE!!

I'd like...a thumpin' good beat
some soulful diva
some kick-ass DJ
some noise to drown out the volume of sound
comin' outta the TV set
some robot noise
some industrial strength beats
some old school Donna Summer or Gloria Gaynor
some synthpop like Soft Cell or Bronski Beat
some New Order and some Pet Shop Boys
some tribal trancy dancy freedom-inducing
techy jazzy funky joyous joyful and aggressive low-key stompin'-hard beat

While elephants roam the earth
Our noise drowns out their
outdated noise, their annoying, loud voices
trumpeting cries of
"We will prevail"
and "make no mistake"
and "Send more troops"
and "Bomb them" and "I'm a war president"
and "Mistakes were made"

We the tribe of people
that join here
where the music does not suck
to overcome and survive
This is the music of our people
the music of the HUMAN RACE
and the words are saying
like the original words to "Le Frak" by Chic

AAAWWWWW-- FUCK OFF

(C"MON you know the words, SING ALONG!)

Thank you!
