Eyes cast down on the path of least resistance.
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies. Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes.
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise.

The hypocrites are slandering the sacred halls of Truth.
Ancient nobles showering their bitterness on youth.
Can't we find the minds that made us strong?
Can't we learn to feel what's right and wrong? What’s wrong?

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies. Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes.
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise.
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start? Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart?

Rush - A Farewell To Kings

Tsk, Tsk.. what kind of a Rush fan are you? Neil Peart writes the lyrics, not Geddy...
If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again and then quit. There’s no sense in making a damned fool of yourself. – W.C. Fields

I agree... most of it at least.
--- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope ---

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
