You can build a mansion, but you just can't live in it..

Do you realize you that everyone you know, someday will die.

But instead of saying all your goodbyes, let them know that life goes fast, it’s good to make the good things last.

I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
Called the blood of the exploited working class
But they've overcome their shyness
Now they're calling me Your Highness
And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"

I destroyed a bond of friendship and respect
Between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye
Now I laugh and make a fortune
Off the same ones that I tortured
And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"

I look like Jesus, so they say
But Mr. Jesus is very far away
Now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true
That you love me and I love me

I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
Called the blood of the exploited working class
But they've overcome their shyness
Now they're calling me Your Highness
And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"
Yes a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"

Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
I'm drownin' in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothin' but affection for all those who've sailed with me

Everybody movin' if they ain't already there
Everybody got to move somewhere
Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow
Things should start to get interesting right about now
My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
I know that fortune is waitin' to be kind
So give me your hand and say you'll be mine
- Mississippi by Bob Dylan

Used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space, but now they're laughing at our face saying
"Wake up, you need to make money", yeah

I would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me

I always feel like you’re leaving when

From Compton to Congress, set tripping all around, ain't nothing new but a flu of new demo-crips and re-blood-icans, red state versus a blue state.

A hundred bad days made a hundred good stories
A hundred good stories make me interesting at parties

100 Bad Days, by AJR

"Why in the world are we here?
Surely not to live in pain and fear."

"They dressed him up warmly, and sent him to school,
and taught him how to fight to be nobody's fool."

So tip up your cup and throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say
I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because

This came on at the Janet Jackson concert in Baltimore and the place went wild!

I like my men like I like my coffee full of soy milk and so sweet it won't offend anybody
