So I understand that Book 4 has started. This is basically all I have to say about that.
Running out of self-control Getting close to an overload Up against a no-win situation Shoulder to shoulder, push and shove I'm hanging up my boxing gloves I'm ready for a long vacation Yeah Be good to yourself when Nobody else will Whoa be good to yourself You're walking a high wire Caught in a crossfire Whoa be good to yourself When you can't give no more They want it all but you've got to say "No" I'm turning off the noise that makes me crazy Looking back with no regret To forgive is to forget I want a little peace of mind to turn to Be good to yourself when Nobody else will Whoa be good to yourself Yeah You're walking a high wire Caught in a crossfire Whoa be good to yourself Be good Good to yourself when Nobody else will Yeah! - Journey "Be Good To Yourself" Raised on Radio (1986) |

One of a fairly large number of things that Chief Gryphon and Avatar Korra have in common: in their position, there are days - probably quite a number of days - when this is really the only song that will do, turned up as far as it will go in the privacy of your office.
Hey brother Christian with your high and mighty errand Your actions speak so loud I can't hear a word you're sayin' Hey sister bleeding heart with all of your compassion Your labors soothe the hurt but can't assuage temptation Hey man of science with your perfect rules of pleasure Can you improve this place with the data that you gather? Hey Mother Mercy can your loins bear fruit forever? Is your fecundity a trammel or a treasure? And I want to conquer the world Give all the idiots a brand new religion Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness, and toil Promote equality with all of my decisions With a quick wink of the eye And a "God, you must be joking" Hey Mr. Diplomat with your worldly aspirations Did you see your children cry when you left them at the station? Hey moral soldier you've got righteous proclamations And precious tomes to fuel your pulpy conflagrations And I want to conquer the world Give all the idiots a brand new religion Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness, and toil Promote equality in all of my decisions I want to conquer the world Expose the culprits and feed 'em to the children Do away with air pollution and then I'll save the whales We'll have peace on Earth and global communion I want to conquer the world I want to conquer the world I want to conquer the world I want to conquer the world - Bad Religion "I Want to Conquer the World" No Control (1989) |

... but on a lot of days (especially if you're still behind the lines of the canon), it plays out more like this.
Culture was the seed of proliferation but it's gotten melded Into an inharmonic whole (to an inharmonic whole) Consciousness has plagued us and we cannot shake it Though we think we're in control (though we think we're in control) Questions and procedures in life are testament of our helplessness There's no vestige of beginning, no prospect of an end When we all disintegrate it will all happen again, yeah Time is so rock-solid in the minds of the hordes but they can't Explain why it should slip away ('splain why it should slip away) History and future are the comforts of our curiosity but here we are Rooted in the present day (rooted in the present day) Questions and procedures in life are testament of our helplessness There's no vestige of beginning, no prospect of an end When we all disintegrate it will all happen again, yeah If you came to conquer you'll be king for a day But you too will deteriorate and quickly fade away And believe these words you hear when you think your path is clear: We have no control We have no control We have no control We do no understand You have no control You are not in command You have no control We have no control No control, no control You have no control - Bad Religion "No Control" No Control (1989) |
