Hello! I should have posted this on Wednesday. That was the day I was out boosting the economy with the strategic disbursement of greenbacks at chain stores, listening to some discs while my internal combustion engine killed the earth, taking me from here to there. Funny how my fiduciary responsibility as a red-blooded American is so evil in so many ways.

Jeez, that reminds me of these Cake lyrics. And if you go read those lyrics, the site will even play you the song. Amazing.

But those aren’t even the lyrics I wanted to highlight.

So, I put in a Flaming Lips album I don’t normally listen to, the newest one. And this one song really stands out as the best song, so I listen to it again. And again. And again. And did I mention it was the day after the election? Yeah, so these lyrics really made me happy:

The W.A.N.D. (The Will Always Negates Defeat)

(You’ve got the power in there)
(Waving your wand in the air)

Time after time those fanatical minds try to rule all the world
Telling us all it’s them who’s in charge of it all
I’ve got a trick, a magic stick, that will make them all fall
We’ve got the power now, motherfuckers; that’s where it belongs

You’ve got that right!
(Power in there)
You know that it is!
(Wand in the air)

They’ve got their weapons to solve all their questions
They don’t know what it’s for
(Because they don’t know what it’s for)
Why can’t they see that’s not power, that’s greed
To just want more and more?
(Just want more and more)
I got a plan and it’s here in my hand; a baton made of light
We’re the enforcers, the sorcerer’s orphans
And we know why we fight
(And we know why we fight)

You can listen to the song or even download it here. Btw, he gets that vocal effect by singing through a megaphone. Most excellent use of a megaphone.
