Theoretical Socialism (2008)

"theoretical socialism" is a couple of singles related by political themes. "advantage: none" was written during the "...beautiful way" era, so i wrote a sister song for it, one that actually became a personal favorite.

"advantage: none" - 3/19/03

words are sent binary
through zeros and ones
words so harsh a feud entails
advantage: none
communication lines disrupted
pre-activation
two sides fight a war unknown
advantage: none

lack of support apparently
means nothing
a faulty system built on lies
and hypocrisy
a world filled with conflict
shaped by ignorance
resolution nowhere in sight
because of stupidity

it is my opinion
that there should be no war
but as long we have the leaders we have
there will be no less
egos swell because they believe
in their own ways
fuck unity, fuck you and me
it's a big fucking mess
it is my opinion
that we should take them all to an island
and let them fight their own war
it is my opinion
that neither side is right or wrong

but it doesn't really matter what i think
the true victor is the one with the biggest gun
and since they all collect their grand arsenals
who has the upper hand? advantage: none



"i blame society" - 8/15/05(?)

is it just an illusion living in my mind?
where are the fairytale promises i'm supposed to find?

what have i become, what will i become?
and who will deal with this disillusioned lunatic?

it isn't me
or is it me?

i blame society

siblings and mothers
politicians and lovers
corporations and nations
all against one another

military interruption
religious corruption
alcoholic perception
let's blame one another

i blame society

i blame myself
