I doubt everyone is BUT

[wolfy098]

Good bad or ugly

Normality

Why do we trust other people?
With what we could do alone?
Why do we allow these people.
To lead us down a path we don?t know?

Why must I follow their road?
Why shouldn?t I make my own?
Who are they to lay it out for me?
I can discover my own.

Why must I be the same as them?
Why am I not who I want to be.
Who has the right to decide what I am?
Maybe that?s the path for me

Why must I live by the book?
When those who force me don?t?
Who are they to hold so much power?
When none of them can fight alone.

Who are we to follow them blindly?
Isn?t life something we should live ourselves?
Why don?t we discover our own path?
That?s something I can do myself

What law should take our freedom?
Why can they take it from me?
Why should I follow without reason?
When there is another path I can see.

Have I yet started my own way?
Or have I yet to begin?
Maybe I?m already halfway.
Or possibly I?ve already reached the end?

Who are we to bow down to others?
Who are they to have us bow down?
To all questions there must be an answer.
These answers are something we all know.
Maybe that?s the path I searched for
Maybe then I can have peace of mind

Am I supposed to answer all of those questions?

I see your challenge and I accept!

Why do we trust other people? Because we know what they will choose to do most of the time.
With what we could do alone? Because we're lazy or doing something else or feel that they would be better doing it than us.
Why do we allow these people.
To lead us down a path we don't know? Because, again, we know what they are likely to do and humans are predictable beings.

Why must I follow their road? You don't have to if you don't want to...
Why shouldn't I make my own? You can if you want to.
Who are they to lay it out for me? Someone trying to help.
I can discover my own.

Why must I be the same as them? You don't have to be.
Why am I not who I want to be. You can be whoever you want to be if your really set your mind to it.
Who has the right to decide what I am? They don't, but you let them think they do.
Maybe that's the path for me

Why must I live by the book? You don't have to if you don't want to, but it sure makes life easier if you do.
When those who force me don't? Because power always corrupts
Who are they to hold so much power? Those with the initiative and willpower to take it.
When none of them can fight alone.

Who are we to follow them blindly? Idiots
Isn't life something we should live ourselves? Yes
Why don't we discover our own path? Because we don't have the willpower or even power.
That's something I can do myself

What law should take our freedom? Laws that protect the innocent
Why can they take it from me? Because they have the power and the masses don't object
Why should I follow without reason? Because you're comfortable enough to follow blindly
When there is another path I can see.

Have I yet started my own way? No idea, I don't know you
Or have I yet to begin? Again, no idea, I don't know you
Maybe I'm already halfway.
Or possibly I've already reached the end...

Who are we to bow down to others? Again, idiots
Who are they to have us bow down? The smart ones
To all questions there must be an answer.
These answers are something we all know.
Maybe that's the path I searched for
Maybe then I can have peace of mind


Have I passed the test?

A basic statement which could have covered all the answers really: We all have a choice but most of us our too comfortable in our controlled existence to care about the other paths.

*SNIP*

I have read your other recent post about a person, friend as you put it, challenging an officer enforcing the law. It would seem to me the point was that she was right in what she was doing even though she is living in a society whose laws she is legally bound by.

I am just wondering what specific thing do you have a problem with? Or do you just wish to challenge people views?

I add these last questions not to offend but just to clarify because you sound similar to a friend of mine. Are you a drug user? If yes then is your drug classed as a hallucinogenic?

 

[Knight of Cydonia]

ummmm...what?

 

[JBarracudaL]

Lyric threads are very original, you've just hit the internet like a tsunami.

 

[Mr Fatherland]

Why do we trust other people?
With what we could do alone.
Because we can do more wih others.
Because we are collectively a hive mind.

Why must I follow their road?
Why shouldn't I make my own.
Because of all that work, they've already made that road for us.
Yeah, but do you really want to stray from the beaten path.

Why must I be the same as them?
Why am I not who I want to be.
Because we are slaves to passing trends.

Why must I live by the book?
When those who force me don't
Because they hold a heavy burden making sure we follow the book.

Who are they to hold so much power?
When none of them can fight alone.
Because they have the balls to grab that power.

Who are we to follow them blindly?
Isn't life something we should live ourselves
Yes, but then you'd be solitary.

When there is another path I can see.
Yes' but think of the time it would take to turn back and start again.

What law should take our freedom?
The laws that keep the black sheep down.

Why can they take it from me?
Because you won't fight back.

When there is another path I can see.
Because it's the path of least resistance.

Have I yet started my own way?
I don't know, have you?

Or possibly I've already reached the end...
Possibly, but then you wouldn't be asking these questions.

Who are we to bow down to others?
The ones who have acknowledged that they were braver than us.

Who are they to have us bow down?
The acknowledged ones.

Maybe that's the path I searched for
Maybe then I can have peace of mind?
Maybe. Maybe.

There, you must friend me.

this is now the Official Lyrics Thread [sup]TM[/sup]. post your best lyrics if you got 'em.

more a hard core metal night start
let me torture you with my growls
making you burst your head on the stage
playing the symphony of atomic war

if you are a false don't entry
because you'll be burned and died
the nuclear drums will crush your brain
slaughtering all with intensive pain

the blood of your heads
spread in our faces
violence and death
are with we desire
not that's enough
we want more blood
come up on stage
drag out your heads
deathrash

get out here and destroy all
killing all falses, bastards
because is this wich we want
this is our message..

 

[TwistedEllipses]

Why do we trust other people? - You can achieve more as a society
With what we could do alone? - I can't do EVERYTHING in the world at once
Why do we allow these people.
To lead us down a path we don't know? - Are you talking about politicians? We don't have a lot of other options than to rely on each other. Individualism doesn't work.

Why must I follow their road? - you don't have to.
Why shouldn't I make my own? - Why not?
Who are they to lay it out for me? - going round in circles now...
I can discover my own.

Why must I be the same as them? - You said that!
Why am I not who I want to be. - You're not trying hard enough or being realistic
Who has the right to decide what I am? - you?
Maybe that's the path for me

Why must I live by the book? - What the law?
When those who force me don't? - You're better than them!
Who are they to hold so much power? - I don't like this vague use of 'them'...
When none of them can fight alone.

Who are we to follow them blindly? - Quit rephrasing!
Isn't life something we should live ourselves? - Well yeah...
Why don't we discover our own path? - You can!
That's something I can do myself

What law should take our freedom? - One that stops you killing everyone
Why can they take it from me? - because you're a danger to others
Why should I follow without reason? - again!
When there is another path I can see.

Have I yet started my own way? - No?
Or have I yet to begin? - Rhetorical questions need rhetorical answers
Maybe I'm already halfway.
Or possibly I've already reached the end...

Who are we to bow down to others? - Not a fan of bowing? You can always curtsy...
Who are they to have us bow down? - Same Answer
To all questions there must be an answer. - Which I have given.
These answers are something we all know. - Then why are you asking!
Maybe that's the path I searched for - Maybe
Maybe then I can have peace of mind - Nope, that only comes with death

[megapenguinx]

Ok I get we are supposed to answer the questions, but what does the "Good, Bad, ugly" and "normality" bits at the top have to do with anything? Those threw me off into thinking you wrote a poem.

3 words. Fuck - that - shit.

 

[Zacharine]

Ookay, I'll take it as a challenge...

Why do we trust other people? - Because you can't suspect everyone

With what we could do alone? - (taken in context with previous line) You alone don't have time for everything.

Why do we allow these people. - Why not allow them?

To lead us down a path we don't know? - Because like the sheep we are, most of us don't come up with a better alternative.

Why must I follow their road? - Otherwise you'll be left alone.

Why shouldn't I make my own? - If you had such a great idea, you'd already be the one leading everyone.

Who are they to lay it out for me? - they are stronger/faster/smarter/more cunning that you.

I can discover my own. - Be prepared for a whole lot of work.

Why must I be the same as them? - You don't have to, but it helps you blend in and live off of their work.

Why am I not who I want to be. - Because you are lazy or stupid.

Who has the right to decide what I am? - You have, unless you waive that right by doing nothing.

Maybe that's the path for me - Perhaps.

Why must I live by the book? - You don't get to eat otherwise.

When those who force me don't? - (taken in context of previous line) they are smart enough to avoid the consequences, dumb enough to not care or hardy enough to take the consequences.

Who are they to hold so much power? - People who work, people who scheme, people who invent.

When none of them can fight alone. - Ah, they made an alliance. not so good, unless you are with them.

Who are we to follow them blindly? - Who says we are?

Isn't life something we should live ourselves? - Sure, but unless you work 20h/day you need others.

Why don't we discover our own path? - Because it's easier to not think and be a sheep.

That's something I can do myself - Oh? This I hear a lot, mostly from the sheep.

What law should take our freedom? - Completely? None. Such a law should be opposed.

Why can they take it from me? - Because you don't oppose them, for whatever reason.

Why should I follow without reason? - You shouldn't, but most do.

When there is another path I can see. - Oh? Then why are you silent and don't share that path with others?

Have I yet started my own way? - Only you know.

Or have I yet to begin? - Again, only you know.

Maybe I'm already halfway. - I doubt that. Otherwise you wouldn't be asking these kinds of questions.

Or possibly I've already reached the end... - Then it was rather short and unispiring path and didn't much differ from the path others follow.

Who are we to bow down to others? - Who are you to not bow down and comply? Can you resist? Will you resist? Can you take the consequences?

Who are they to have us bow down? - Those who hold power over you.

To all questions there must be an answer. - No. Some questions are nonsensical.

These answers are something we all know. - Really? Then why ask the questions?

Maybe that's the path I searched for - Perhaps. Do you have the strenght to decide that for yourself?

Maybe then I can have peace of mind - I hope so, but it's doubtful. Persons who are truly at peace are quite rare.

Good bad or ugly

Normality

Why do we trust other people? I don't.
With what we could do alone? I don't understand this.
Why do we allow these people.
To lead us down a path we don't know? Because you can't afford GPS? (I can, so it leads me, not people)

Who are we to bow down to others? Lesser men (sheep)
Who are they to have us bow down? Stronger

These answers are something we all know.
