BS: A dying breed

01 Apr 08 - 12:36 PM (#2303386)
Subject: BS: A dying breed
From: Donuel

Pete Seegar sings for you
John changed the beat
King dreamed great dreams for you
Walter Chronkite weeps.

The idiot prince read his script
The preachers prayed for war
The People's Congress closed their door
While the empire played for keeps.


CHORUS: We are a dieing breed a dieing breed
         There's panic in a tipping point
         We need to catch our balance just in time
         I swear its not too late.      


Kind hearts and brave souls
make Earth a better place
for the very young and very old
not just for the human race.

We were proud to end the holocaust
and become the greatest nation
The fight we face in this day and age
is the greed of corporation.

CHORUS:


Some of us make food
Some of us make weapons
Some of us have lost our homes
our money and our children.

Some of us made money
and bought a bigger boat.
Some of us made religion pay
so much it made us gloat.

CHORUS:

Some of us are trained with hate
and some of us for peace
They told us all why we fight
But it's really oil, gas and grease.

We were proud to end the holocaust
and become the greatest nation
The fight we face in this day and age
is the greed of corporation.

CHORUS:




A dieing breed. by Don Hackman

Stunning and not BS as far as I am concerned, Don.

Doesn't BS stand for best scripts?

I thought of a movie script about identity theft yesterday.

After the hero/victim Robert Dunning fails at every attempt to correct the theft of his identity and money,
he changes his identity to the person who stole his identity...commits a very hilarious public non life threatening criminal act* against all those who refused to help him...and then with the aid of DNA testing finally proves his true identity while the thief goes to prison for 20 years.



*(in a mask... but with latex ears showing that happen to look esactly like the identity thief's ears)

Sounds like a song to me, Art:

Transplant every organ,
Sew up every seam,
Follow every dendrite,
You've got a surgical team!

"Pete Seegar"??????????????
"Walter Chronkite?????????

Apparently "BS" stands for "Bad Spelling".

Don-

I really like the song but spellcheck really clicks in as a distraction.

The thread title now spells "dying" correctly. Maybe some nice Joe Clone would correct the spelling of "dieing" in your first post as well.

It's not BS but that's your call.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
