The Art of Life

[edit]
  • The victorious Romans were confronted by women in black robes who stood at their wagons & slew the fleeing warriors, their husbands, brothers, fathers & then strangled their own children & cast them beneath the wheels of their own wagons before cutting their own throats . . . Armies on the verge of collapse have been rallied by their women pleading with their men, thrusting forward their bare breasts, and making them realize the imminent prospect of enslavement. Tacitus
  • All truth passes throu 3 stages, it is 1st ridiculed, then violently opposed and finally accepted as being self evident. Arthur Schopenhauer
  • "A free people, their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate." -Thomas Jefferson.
  • Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it "treason." - John Harrington
  • Miltiades-With you it rests! Either to bring us to slavery, or, by securing our freedom, to be remembered by all future generations.
  • When I was a child my family would travel down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born and there's a backwards old town that's often remembered so many times that my memories are worn. And daddy won't you take me back 2 Muhlenberg County down by the Green River where Paradise lay, well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking, Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away. Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River 2 the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols but empty pop bottles was all we would kill. And daddy won't you take me back 2 Muhlenberg County down by the Green River where Paradise lay, well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking, Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away. Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel and they tortured the timber and stripped all the land well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken then they wrote it all down as the progress of man. And daddy won't you take me back 2 Muhlenberg County down by the Green River where Paradise lay, well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking, Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away. When I die let my ashes float down the Green River, let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin' just 5 miles away from wherever I am, And daddy won't you take me back 2 Muhlenberg County down by the Green River where Paradise lay, well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking, Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.
  • Some people say a man is made outta mud, a poor man's made outta muscle and blood, muscle and blood and skin and bones, a mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong you load 16 tons, what do you get, another day older and deeper in debt, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store. I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine, I loaded 16 tons of #9 coal and the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul". You load 16 tons, what do you get, another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store.

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain fightin' and trouble are my middle name, I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion, cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line, you load 16 tons, what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store. If you see me comin', better step aside a lotta men didn't, a lotta men died, 1 fist of iron, the other of steel, if the right one don't a-get you then the left one will. You load 16 tons, what do you get, another day older and deeper in debt, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store.

  • There's a red moon rising, On the Cuyahoga River, Rolling into Cleveland to the lake, There's a red moon rising, On the Cuyahoga River, Rolling into Cleveland to the lake, There's an oil barge winding, Down the Cuyahoga River, Rolling into Cleveland to the lake, There's an oil barge winding, Down the Cuyahoga River, Rolling into Cleveland to the lake. Cleveland, city of light, city of magic, Cleveland, city of light, you're calling me, Cleveland, even now I can remember, 'Cause the Cuyahoga River goes smokin' through my dreams Burn on, big river, burn on, Burn on, big river, burn on, Now the Lord can make you tumble, Lord can make you turn, The Lord can make you overflow, But the Lord can't make you burn, Burn on, big river, burn on, Burn on, big river, burn on.
  • well that's the history of the world, Lieutenant, some people die before their time so that others can live. It's the cornerstone of civilization: war, religion, democracy. A hundred die so that a thousand may live. Well General I take them one at a time.
  • Big John Big John Every mornning at the mine, you could see him arrive. He stood 6 foot 6, weighed 245. Kind of broad at the shoulders, narrow at the hip. And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John. Big John Big John Big Bad John Big John Nobody seemed to know where John called home He just drifted into town and stayed all alone. He didn't say much, kind of quiet and shy And if you spoke at all, you'd just said hi to Big John. Somebody said he came from New Orleans, Where he got into a fight over a Cajun Queen. And a crash and a blow from a huge right hand, sent a Lousiana fella to the promise land. Big John Big John Big bad John Big John Then came the day at the bottom of the mine, when a timber cracked and men started crying. Miners were praying, and hearts beat fast and everybody thought they had breathed thier last cept' John. Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell, walked a giant of a man that the minors knew well. Grabbed a sagging timber and gave out with a groan, and like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, Big John, Big John Big John Big Bad John Big John And with all of his strength, he gave a mighty shove. Then a minor yelled out, 'theres a light up above!'. And 20 men scrambled from a 'would be' grave now theres only one left down there to save, Big John. With jacks and timbers, they started back down, then came that rumble way down in the ground. And as smoke and gas smelched out of that mine, everybody knew it was the end of the line, for Big John. Big John, Big John, Big Bad John, Big John, Now they never re-opend that wortheless pit, they just placed a marble stand in front of it. These few words are written on that stand, 'At the bottom of this mine, lies one Hell of a man, Big John' Big John Big John Big Bad John, Big John.
