Don't Take The Fall

from iPad of Jank by Dustin Decker / Maslow's Basement

about

Written for Paris, but damn if it ain't applicable to just about EVERYTHING you see on the tele these days.

lyrics

Turn the television off,
take some time and let your heart be soft,
it's been a long time comin',
but the story is the same it's always been.

Fiber optic cables, & satellites beam it 'round the world,
outraged and horrified, but there's no reason to be terrified.

And I'm afraid to look inside my mouth,
so many harsh words may come rambling out,
don't let them win before the battle call,
if your mind gets twisted, you've already taken the fall.

No battle plan ever survives, contact with the enemy,
a huried tactical victory, often leads to strategic defeat;
psychological and informational, deception and misdirection,
from the famed retreats of the Normans,to the Art of War and the trojan horse.

And I'm afraid to look inside my heart,
it can get so ugly wrapped up in the dark;
will I let them win before the battle call,
is my mind so twisted I've already taken the fall?

Will I fall for a forged letter,
from the commander of the nights of Krak des Chevaliers?
wahhabism, intellectualism, objectivism, humanism,
catechism, you can choose your ism,
you can choose your ism.

If you let your mind get twisted,
you've already taken the fall,
and surrendered all....
