The holiday season is the busiest and most stressful time of the year for me. My colleague Debbie and I were chatting about this the other day and all we could think is “here we go again into that ever so stressful season!” It’s supposed to be “the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”, as the Christmas song playing on the radio says. Yet work, finances and other family or social commitments seem to bog us both down. It got us thinking…is this time of year really that wonderful?
Rights for me but not for thee Left is true but Right for you Freedom for brothers that aren’t the Others Justice for us, on the same bus
Which bus are thee on, which way does it go Which side are you on, which way do you flow Which people are we with, which ones are we part of Which ones are the sinners, which ones’ve departed
An Empire of Gorillaz An Empire of Little Dragons And Empire of Ants A cosmic vibration
What does it say? It says:
An Empire of vibrations An Empire of sands And umpire of gorillas T(w)oo cosmic vibration (s)
An empire state The Empire State An Empire State Building An Empire State of Mind, II:
A ton of things are beautiful Reggae is beautiful I am beautiful U(me)R beautiful A Ton of Reggae is beautiful Just as Reggaeton is beautiful And the Prince of Reggaeton is beautiful: :(JB&JB):
What is our empire of man, except a sham? For in the face of DraGons we are damned If ants are meaningless to us As mice or bees or birds are Then we are meaningless to Drag-us As rice or 🅱️s or turds are
The rite of the East, the fights of the West The lights of the North, the Lights of the south The lights we will meet, these lights are the best The Fight in the North, the Rights in the south
Our own lights starve out the Northern Lights And now we’re starved for Northern Lights O Beat of Time, won’t you let there be auroras borealis O Clock of Dune, won’t you Let there be 🅱️auroras 🅱️-Orealis
O Realis, O Realize O Real-Eyes, O Re-Ill-Eyes A Roar-rus, O Roar Raz O Roar Us, A Roar Raz
Now that we’ve pretended airplanes’re shooting stars We’ll pretend glare’s flames’re-Rora’s bars:
Chasing auroras, chasing cars We be chasin, till I drop bars:
I’m runnning away now, from Northern Lights I runaway now from, North to South Run-Uh-Way with, Runaway with me from North, to Southern Lights
And run back from Suthern to Nuthern Lights
Green lights, purple lights, Green drugs, purple psychedelics Green haze, purple haze Green rain, purple rain
All I want, After waiting such a long time to see shooting stars Is Shelter
Oh, it’s like inception now Waking up from dreams again and again When will it ever enddd When will the week-end
Now for no reason, Most of (Everything I’ll do) I’ll do it for you, Aurora’s Shooting Stars
Hope you don’t get too lost In the hyperlinks For then you’ll face a high cost Struck by hya-per Links Hope you don’t die Struck but not burst Sung but not thirst?:
