DESPITE ALL MY RAGE I AM STILL JUST A RAT IN A CAGE!!!
Just got done with Countdown with Rachel and her soothing delivery of the PAIN I now feel.


Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a cage

And you know what?
YOU are in that cage with me.

Feeling PROUD tonight to be an American?

(Compliments to Smashing Pumpkins)

And as I type this, the TV is blaring in the background post "Countdown" on DVR.

NEW "Dawn" cuts grease better and gives you more time to spend with your family!

IDIOTS RULE!!!

where idiots are bound
if there's a pole
planted in your back
then you're a fixture
not a man

3. Maybe you should take your life back
You have the power. The repugs can't steal it from you.

I need you to have the power so I know I have the power.

4. I'm about as proud to be an American tonight as George Carlin was.
Great song, though, and fitting.

And now you can get new Dawn with bleach. It's great on grease, but sadly, it doesn't have any effect on bullshit. If it did, I'd be armed with a super sized bottle and a hose.

7. (I Don't Wanna Be an) American Idiot
Don't want to be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along to the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Don't want to be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.
