DECLASSIFIED

The meaning of declassified is to reveal secrets, for example,
through the declassification of secret documents. The social
conscience, however, reveals itself without the declassification of
secret documents or news broadcasts. Perhaps one of the most well
guarded secrets is that the reason people are depressed is not
because pharmaceutical companies need to exist by making pills to
cure people's sadness. Although this sounds like a ridiculous
statement it is equally ridiculous that people feel they no longer
have time or tolerance to be sad. Equally as ludicrous,
pharmaceutical companies and marketers of goods have convinced us
that it is not normal to be without a sex drive. Today there are
many reasons to feel sadness and it is an inescapable part of
living as a human being. Wouldn't the world be a nicer place if
there weren't so many sex crazed people?

Welcome to the year 2006 and the epitome of Brave new Worlds

This is a song to kick off a musical exploration on the theme of
declassification.

DECLASSIFIED

Put the trash in the can,
Drag it down to the end of the road.
Where it goes from there,
Don't really care and don't want to know.

3 billion starving people,
Living on the edge of life.
Vanish into the darkness,
Out if sight and out of mind.

Drive off in your car.
Don't let anyone get in your way.
When it all goes wrong,
Take a pill and it all goes away.

In fear the armies marching,
with allegence to a flag.
3 billion people starving,
enemies of the state.

Put the trash in the can,
drag it down to the end of the road.
Where it goes from there,
Don't really care and don't want to know.
