The Iraq Debacle

The unwilling
Led by the incompetent
Forcing the impossible
Upon the dissatisfied.

Dissatisfied

Written by christine mcvie.
Why baby why are you still so sad
When you know how much I need you
I hate to see you feel so bad
When I try so hard to please you
You know Id do anything
Just to see you smile againg
Theres nothing I wouldnt do
Just to take away a little pain
You make me feel, ooooh ooh ooh oooooh
Dissatisfied (dissatisfied)
You make me feel, ooooh ooh ooh oooooh
Dissatisfied (dissatisfied)
My home is yours and I want you to know
That I need you to depend on
Any everything you feel Im feeling too
And I just hope you havent forgotten
How can I make the sunshine through
So we can be happy again
Oh baby theres got to be a way
Just to take away a little pain
You make me feel, ooooh ooh ooh oooooh
Dissatisfied (dissatisfied)
You make me feel, ooooh ooh ooh oooooh
Dissatisfied (dissatisfied)
Please dont say you dont love me anymore
Cause I couldnt ease up on you
Youre the only reason for all my joy
And without you what would I do
Cause Id do anything
Just to see you smile againg
Theres nothing I wouldnt do
Just to take away a little pain
You make me feel, ooooh ooh ooh oooooh
Dissatisfied (dissatisfied)
You make me feel, ooooh ooh ooh oooooh
Dissatisfied (dissatisfied)
You make me feel, ooooh ooh ooh oooooh
Dissatisfied (dissatisfied)
You make me feel, ooooh ooh ooh oooooh
Dissatisfied (dissatisfied)
You make me feel, ooooh ooh ooh oooooh
Dissatisfied (dissatisfied)...

Impossible

If they had ever told me how sweet a kiss could be
I would have said impossible, impossible for me
And if they said Id find you beyond the rainbows end
I would have said impossible, impossible, my friend
To dream about what might have been
Is strange enough for me
But now it seems Im living in
A dream too beautiful to be
If they had said a moonbeam could calm a stormy sea
I would have said impossible but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me

I would have said impossible but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me

Dissatisfied

Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up ---if I'm dreaming
Half these friends, fading fast, burning out, into ash
Where you wanna go cuz I will follow?
What you can't stomach, I will swallow.
Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, dissatisfied
Its alright, alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright
Its alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright
Dissatisfied
If the best of times only last
In a second come io pass
Where you wanna go cuz I will follow?
What you can't stomach, I will swallow.
Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, dissatisfied. Its alright, alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright
Its alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright Dissatisfied
Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up ---if I'm dreaming
Another never-ending night
Another long and sleepless life
I've had enough, please wake me up -if I'm dreaming
Twenty more days since we've been gone, and I'm so sick of Twenty more nights I've spent alone, and I'm so sick of Twenty more days 'till I get home, and I'm so sick of being here

It isn't the incompetent who destroys an organization. The incompetent never gets in a position to destroy it. It is those who have achieved something and want to rest upon their achievements who are forever clogging things up.

I'm not interested in forcing my music on people, and that's what the whole music industry nowadays is based on is forcing stations to play it, forcing people to listen to it.

Could I Be Incompetent?

Could I be incompetent?
No.
But I will admit,
I can be stupid, ignorant and foolish...
When making incorrect decisions.
With a hopeful learning from them,
If I take the time to comprehend what I've done.

But incompetent?
No.
No, I am not.
And I am sure if I had been,
Someone who's opinion I accept...
And has shown to me their admiration,
Would have already brought that to my attention.

It is better to be a dissatisfied human than a satisfied pig. Better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool or the pig are of different opinion, it is because they only know their side of the story.

It's Impossible

It's impossible to tell the sun to leave the sky,
It's just impossible.
It's impossible to ask a baby not to cry,
It's just impossible.
Can I hold you closer to me
And not feel you going through me,
But the second that I never think of you?
Oh, how impossible.
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?
It's just impossible.
If I had you could I ever ask for more?
It's just impossible.
And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
And not regret it for to live without your love
Is just impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?
It's just impossible.
If I had you could I ever ask for more?
It's just impossible.
And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
And not regret it for to live without your love
Is just impossible
Oh impossible,
Impossible.
Impossible.

Keepers Of Restrictions

Everytime those incompetent,
Take the opportunity
To offend others with known capabilities,
They widen one's vision
With an obviousness more can see.

If one is capable and is disrespected,
It has not been in their hands
That a quality of life has been allowed to decrease.
It has been those holding onto the reigns historically
Proving themselves to be the creators of conflict.
With more of it on the increase.

And,
As of yet
Amongst themselves,
They have yet to find a logical solution.
Or admit that their mentalities,
Feed on insecurities they can not cease.

To do so would expose them,
As the keepers of restrictions.
And this prevents those with common sense,
Displaying an unquestionable intelligence.
From obtaining some credit that corrects,
What those incompetent can not comprehend.
Stands in the way in initiating any progess.

Those incompetent only concern themselves,
With images to address that which impresses.
With a flowing of unstoppable, symbolic and idol gestures.

My heart is a cactus flower

My heart is a cactus flower
Unwilling to bend...
Unwilling to wilt...
Unwilling to die...
But—still.

I just can't walk away...
I've sold my life.
For a deserts ray
For a deserts ray
Of light!

Thirsty and more!
Blistered and sore!
My soul is damned,
To confess:
My eyes are parched
For more, more
Than I can posses.
Envisage.
In a—mirage!
But—still.

I just can't walk away...
I've sold my heart and soul.
For a deserts ray
For a deserts ray
Of light!

Your Light Farewell

You bid unwilling farewell so light,
Your smiles rushes this golden day;
Memory gallops in, in every sight.

You painted the clouds in whitish bright
as you faded through a silvery ray;
You bid unwilling farewell so light.

Soon winds will whisper in ivory night,
gentle rains will echo your laughter in a way
memory gallops in, in every sight.

Red must the roses be, but they turned white
on that day you choose in our hearts to stay;
You bid unwilling farewell so light.

You dwell here where the dawn takes its flight,
in the morning where sunrise burns to play
and - memory gallops in, in every sight.

The world fancied but then turns right;
The day you painted rainbows and smiled away
you bid unwilling farewell so light;
Then... (memory gallops in, in every sight)

Nothing is impossible

Nothing is impossible
I have a strong will power
I have my own distilled water
I am on my own road without
Any attached with anything
For nothing is impossible
Impossible nothing nothing.

Confused

'Mrs. Poppington...
If they are derelict in performing their duties
As elected officials
And they represent their contituents,
Who placed them in office
To conduct the protection
And goodwill of the people...
Why are nearly most of them incompetent?
And all of them lawbreakers? '

They are 'not' incompetent, Jimmie!
As you stated...
They represent their contituency!
They reflect those who put them in those positions!
And...
Let me make this clear.
You can not 'break' something you make.
It is 'recreated' to reflect change!
That's called 'addendum'.

'OH!
So...
Does that mean when you tell us not to cheat
On tests,
You really mean the opposite?
You want us to find a more creative way to do it?
And it's okay when Billy 'addendumizes' my work,
When you leave the classroom?
I'm confused! '

Dream

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
La
I want more (impossible to ignore)
I want more (impossible to ignore)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Impossible!

it is impossible to believe in compassion,
and to just stand by watching injustice upon
injustice being heaped on the backs of the poor!

it is impossible to be spiritual without being
human enough to feel the hunger of the hungry!
impossible to believe in love without being angered

when you see countless people being thrown
away and cast to the side like human trash!
it is impossible to remain silent when you can

hear the thundering tears of the children!
