We are the locusts
And it's time for the plague
The Chick tracts and gun nuts
Warned you was here
Profiled as bad seeds
Since before we could read
Monkey wrenching world orders
Is how we party
Red alert, orange alert
Every flavor of Fruit loops alert
Your precious way of life
Is under attack from inside
We won't buy and we'll try
To rot your house of cards
From the inside out
Sacred Corporate logos
Are the new swastikas
To the proud to be
Patriotically incorrect hordes
Deep fried society
Has gone to the wolves
While we eat away
From inside the bones
Gnaw Gnaw Nibble Nibble
Chew Devour Scrape Deflower
They know who we are
So why not just get worse?
We won't buy and we'll try
To torch all you hold dear
From the inside out
We've come for your children
We've come for your friends
To save them from becoming
Respectable citizens
A prank a day
Keeps the dogleash away
Join the new Boston Tea Party
You can't have us, You can't have us
You can't have our money
You can't have our time
You can't have our souls
You can't have our lives
Termites are loose in the house of cards
Rise! RISE!
All hail the Magic Plague

Dennis Hopper convinced Fonda to peddle in Easy Rider. "We blew it man, we blew it". No you didn't, you
- Wells Tao yeah I re watched that Movie, and had not the 'reviewers experience' given that I hadn't noticed the first time, who blew up the bourgeois male capitalist pigs house at the end, or why (she was asked to share a room with a whore, also brought there). And as for all the limpness of it's sensuality, I thought it was more brave than that, that there was a kind of hope in the actors willingness to 'get dirty' on screen, in dirt and dust. Something wiling them on..
- Alan Francais Stuart Aye. Antonioni liked to experiment and so 'counter culture' has some meaning here, I think. The cast are not professional actors and maybe what you sense as a driver is their lack of contrivance. Maybe a bit like the apprentices used to fill in the detail on those huge renaissance canvases?
- Alan Francais Stuart Yes, Antonioni, Pasolini and maybe Visconti dabbled in moral alchemy, it's true. But it served to grant absolution to a generation in thrall to the Philosopher's Stone and fleeing from Capital.(But not necessarily in any particular direction)
- Wells Tao Moral Alchemy, philosophers stone, absolution, so well put. Yes I forget the particular trauma lived in by that generation of creators, it is easy too I guess, since my own generations are even more made obscure. But these countenances, bitter and sweet lessons of the art of these, are I think frozen expressions where the face has lost it's silky smooth ability to transition. It's a simple weariness at having to read Mao's entire little red book, when just the intro suggests that he didn't read past Marx's intro... freezes the will into a child's shrill demands. For a thing to make it all better, the uber father or mother. TO save us from having to listen to nature un mute.. so much chatter demanding us to be still. We will not be still, there are too many guys pointed at us, made up, right in my head... capital-isms little soldiers pushing me off the grate.
