Paul Weller & God …

When the Style Council
become the soundtrack
for Starbucks consumers
at six am
I want out …

When the only thing to watch
On every goddamned channel
Is Anna Nicole Smith
Sean Hannity and MASH
I want out …

When all the overhead Muzak
Is raping Stevie Winwood
Aping The Police
Van Morrison or
Bruce Hornsby and the Range
I want out …

When the country is struggling
To fit neatly and quietly
Into the status quo
For selfish reasons of their own
I want out …

When the only person I care about
Is myself and yet I don't
Have a clue as to
Who I am
I want out …

When the snow caps are finished
The polar bears are a myth and dusted
When the Dolphins declare:
So long, and thanks for all the fish
I'll be out.








from: During the Apocalypse (2007)

So long and thanks for all the fish... One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies. Great work again.
