Disagreement is mandatory for success.
But ah, what mode of disagreement?
Support / non support, maybe?
Thank you, friend.
Barry out.
The dudes in MUSE know something about disagreement and they put together this little ditty about it.
BONUS: The Earth Is My Church is a hymn about how to disagree and agree by looking at things a bit differently.
Uprising – MUSE
The paranoia is in bloom, the PR
Transmissions will resume, they’ll try to
Push drugs, keep us all dumb down and hope that
We will never see the truth around, so come on
Another promise, another scene, another
Package not to keep us trapped in greed with all the
Green belts wrapped around our minds and endless
Red tape to keep the truth confined, so come on
They will not force us
And they will stop degrading us
And they will not control us
We will be victorious, so come on
Interchanging mind control, come let the
Revolution take its toll, if you could
Flick a switch and open your third eye, you’d see that
We should never be afraid to die, so come on
Rise up and take the power back, it’s time that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is coming to an end, we have to
Unify and watch our flag ascend, so come on
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious, so come on
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious, so come on
Hey, hey, hey, hey

The Earth Is My Church
by Periel Marr Stanfield, Alex Beroza & Brad Stanfield
When I put on my Sunday best
I proceed to get undressed
My holy temple requires no clothes
No high heels, no pantyhose
I’m not trying to be malicious
Heretical or sacrilegious
I’m not an atheist, it’s just the reverse
I’m a human soul on a spiritual search
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth comes first
I don’t need no preacher man
No Sunday school, no master plan
No fiery hell, no mighty sword
No oxy-moronic “holy” wars
I don’t have to bash the bible
All I need for my survival
Is the sun, the sea, the sky, the dirt
And that’s the whole story, chapter and verse
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth comes first
At one with nature’s innocence
The dolphins and the elephants
I kiss the trees, embrace the sky
I harmonize with the butterflies
Freedom is the final fruition
Of the fate of the human condition
Corruption of religion is history’s curse Universal love’s the only vision of worth
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth comes first
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church
The earth is my church

Barry, I bought a Muse CD in the expectation that they played progressive rock, but my album seemed more like electronic disco – too high a rate of BPM (beats per minute). YOUR choice of Muse is more like it, I enjoyed that track.
I prefered the Earth is My Church though, excellent lyrics that are hard to fault. Corruption of Religion, oxymoronic ‘holy’ wars, universal love the only vision of worth. Great stuff, I wish I had written that.

Howdy Mister.
I’m with you. The Earth is My Church is a great tune and yep, the words certainly are profound.
I’ll be over to visit your blog in the next few days, just completing some serious personal paradigm shifting.
Later pal.
