“handlebars” - the flobots

Look at me
Look at me
Just called to say that it’s good to be
ALIVE
In such a small world
All curled up with a book to read
I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine sixty four
Miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
And I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance
I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
I can split the atoms of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule

everything is telling you / punt

from austin kleon - “punt” (flickr link)

“actors” - all time low

here in the now 
shedding the doubts
there’ll be no past or future tense
regret’s a waste of time and plans will change (plans will always change)

oh, some for the worst, some for the best 
you know you can always get your way
so worried about what’s next you lost today (now you lost today)

 If Tom had learned anything… it was that you can’t ascribe great cosmic significance to a simple earthly event. Coincidence, that’s all anything ever is, nothing more than coincidence… Tom had finally learned, there are no miracles. There’s no such thing as fate, nothing is meant to be. He knew, he was sure of it now. 

KOBMD - ftsk

i take what i get, and I throw it away and i break it.
i had everything and you took it from me and i hate it.
My thoughts run fast through me like a lethal injection.
Like a lethal injection.

“kids” - mgmt

memories fade
like looking through a fogged mirror
decisions too
decisions are made
decisions are made and not bought

“round and round” - bob schneider

and the world goes round
and the world goes around
and the world goes round & round
