Woody Guthrie - Mean Talkin' Blues
"... I go around a-causin' a lot of accidents,
And I push folks down, and I cause train wrecks.
I'm a big disaster....
I laugh my loudest when other people cry.
Can't help it....
And I'm readin' all the books I can
To learn how to hurt....
Well, if I can get the fat to hatin' the lean
That'd tickle me more than anything I've seen,
Then get the colors to fightin' one another,
And friend against friend, and brother, and sister against brother,
That'll be just it."

Pink Floyd - The Fletcher Memorial Home
"Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
And build them a home, a little place of their own.
The Fletcher Memorial Home For Incurable Tyrants And Kings.
And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit T.V.
To make sure they're still real.
It's the only connection they feel...."
