The lyrics are below: Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the windowGo back to sleep Lay your head down childI won't let the boogeyman come Counting bodies like sheepTo the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind to the rabblePay no mind to the rabble Head down, go to sleepTo the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind what other voices sayThey don't care about you, like I do, like I doSafe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,See, they don't give a funk about you, like I do. Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,Go back to sleepGo back to sleep Lay your head down childI won't let the boogeyman comeCount the bodies like sheepTo the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind to the rabblePay no mind to the rabble Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums I'll be the one to protect you fromYour enemies and all your demons I'll be the one to protect you fromA will to survive and a voice of reason I'll be the one to protect you fromYour enemies and your choices sonThey're one in the sameI must isolate youIsolate and save you from yourself Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order andCount the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums The boogeymen are comingThe boogeymen are coming Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drums Stay with meSafe and ignorantJust stay with meHold you and protect you from the other onesThe evil onesDon't love you son,Go back to sleep Any disagreement that this describes the ideal human being from a leaders perspective?

So far a lot of people have good taste :P Thats because I didn't talk about the rap I listen to. :P Well, lets see if anyone disagrees with the idea that human beings should be submissive.

MarbleZone Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Any disagreement that this describes the ideal human being from a leaders perspective? No. Any disagreement that this describes the modern religious human being? Yes. I was inclined to leave my post like that... Yes, that is the kind of subject any leader loves. No questions asked, doing what he's told... Not much to argue against on this one.My opinion on "the modern religious human being", on the other hand, has been explained in another topic thoroughly (and not contested yet, I guess I make my posts too long :/), so I don't really feel like saying it all over again... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarbleZone Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Then that isn't much of a debate, is it? I prefer being told my point of view is downright ridiculous than having it be ignored altogether... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarbleZone Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I... really couldn't understand the question. :/ What I do know is that a debate involves defending your own arguments and saying why you disagree with those of others. I also know that it's common sense when trying to have a civilized discussion not to label a person's opinion as idiocy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
