"The moderate creates her policy agenda by looking to her specific circumstances and seeing which things are being driven out of proportion at the current moment. This idea — that you base your agenda on your specific situation — may seem obvious, but immoderate people often know what their solutions are before they define the problems."
- David Brooks, 2012
They are on the right
You are on the left
I am in between
I am a centrist
I refuse to bow down
Put my hands here on the ground
I refuse to be a hack
Want my own personal track
They want more police
You say “fuck the pigs”
I am in between
I am a centrist
I refuse to bow down
Put my hands here on the ground
I refuse to be a hack
Want my own personal track

You love her so much she could waterboard you
You kneel and pray for your Guantanamo Bay
You love her so much she could rat torture you
You break, confess to crimes you did not commit
She's the Ministry of Love
And WAR IS PEACE
And LOVE IS HATE
MONSTERS ARE SOULMATES
You love her so much she could dismember you
You kneel and pray that she will call you her slave
You love her so much you’d drink her bath water
You hope and wait for your next slap in the face
She's the Ministry of Love
And WAR IS PEACE
And LOVE IS HATE
MONSTERS ARE SOULMATES

"[La collusion et la corruption], c’était mon pain et mon beurre, mais jamais personne ne m’a dit d’arrêter."
- Gilles Cloutier, former political organizer testifying before Québec's Charbonneau Commission, 2013
You live your life in crime
It makes me realize
That I wanna do this too
I’m sick of playing by the rules
I won’t do the same as you
But I’ll find my way
I won’t be Superman
I prefer General Zod
Yeah
Take me to the nasty side of town
To the shady parts
Where the crooks are king
I could sell fake IDs
Or spread a new disease
Thought I could be that villain
From ‘No Country for Old Men’
But I ain't sure that I like
The mushroom cut
I won’t be Rick Deckard
I prefer replicants
Yeah
Take me to the nasty side of town
To the shady parts
Where the crooks are king

"Nightmares exist outside of logic, and there’s little fun to be had in explanations."
- Stephen King, quoted in psychological survival horror video game Alan Wake
The kids are out
The sun is gray
It's raining salad fingers
On my atomic burger
You smile at me
And lose a lip
The carrousel is spinning
Too fast for you
Old Orchard does that to you
Tell me if what I see is true
Old Orchard does that to you
Tell me if what I see is true
Old Orchard does that to you
Old Orchard does that to you
Old Orchard
My skin is burning
Literally
Take a shot; Hipstamatic
It feels like ‘Wish you Were Here’
Your feet are lobsters
Literally
I wanna crack them open
And sip your juice

"Monroe’s premature death raised one haunting question for the men who were, in their own fantasy, her lovers, for the men who had masturbated over those pictures of exquisite female compliance: was it possible, could it be, that she hadn’t liked It all along – It – the It they had been doing to her, how many millions of times."
- Andrea Dworkin, 1983: 18
Just before she died
She wrote: “I must not be”
Now we know her perfect smiles had just been masks
Covering rage, despair; a sense of failure
When she closed her eyes
She thought: “It’s time to leave”
Now we know she had not liked our invasions
Suffering, trying to achieve perfection
As we define it for them
A male-defined woman ideal
“Exquisite” female compliance
A sexual commodity
Now today, we do the same
And they spread their legs for fame
And we click, masturbating over pictures
Giving up, forcing them to seek perfection
As we define it for them
A male-defined woman ideal
“Exquisite” female compliance
A sexual commodity
