Amon Düül II, "You're not alone"You sit in your room, and you talk to the wallYou're feeling small but still have a ballAnd you can't explain what's anyway in vainAnd you paint your face and dress in blackWear your shades and still can't expressThe way you feel about a lousy fillAnd you dance until the morningAll by yourselfAnd somehow you knowYou're not aloneAnd you dance until the morningAll by yourselfAnd somehow you knowYou're not aloneYou're playing pool against yourselfAnd you look at your watchAt a quarter to twelveAnd you still didn't win against yourselfYou think it's time to quit the gameMaybe change your name and search for fameAnd you still have a ball and you don't care after allAnd they catch you hiding in a love affairAnd you know againYou're not aloneAnd they catch you hiding in a love affairAnd you know againYou're not aloneGod ain't jive and I can feel his loveRun through the strings of my guitarJust watch out and see what it's all aboutAnd still I stand my foot in my handTalking to my wall and still don't care at allJust having a ballAnd heavy after allI've borrowed your time I'm sorry I calledForget what I've saidBut rememberYou're not aloneI've borrowed your time I'm sorry I calledForget what I've saidBut rememberYou're not alone
.
And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Aneurysm time! Black Lives Matter nominated for Nobel PP
It's the "peace" part that makes it so ironic.
No, not really because we've known that for long time: see the Begin/Arafat NPP.
The violence inherent in "the system" does like to clap itself on its' back.
Our violence is always more moral than theirs.
Had Trump nuked the DPNK, patriots would have lauded it as moral and 'the right thing to do'.
...at least from the Neocon wing.
The Rand Paul wing adheres to the Federalist Papers.
I don't know about the Neocon wing.
Gubmints have a way of mollifying the general public for the prospect of the next shooting war. See selling the Iraq war in the US and UK.
Manufactured consent, i.o.w.
