Musical Worldview: Model Engine "Scarred But Smarter"

the only time you fail
is the last time you try

Am I incomplete

Musical Worldview: Graham and Nash, "They Want It All"
“They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
Want that Mercedez, that gulf stream too
They want to get, get it from you
They want your life savings and your mothers ring
They'd like to have everything
They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
They want that mansion and they want it full
Of wine and women and political pull
They always have a President or two
That's how they get away with what they do
That's how they do it
They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
They want it all, they want it now…”

“If you disrespect anybody that you run in to
How in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you
If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the bible in his hand, y'all

You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way, yeah

If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
Respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself

Musical Worldview: Songs: Ohia, "Just Be Simple" (With Special Cover Versions by Amanda Shires, Scott Avett, and Water Liars)
“You never hear me talk about one day getting out
Why put a new address on the same old loneliness”
Musical Worldview: Jeff Tweedy, "Even I Can See"
“If I may have your attention please
I’ll tell you about my wife
and what she means to me
How fiercely she believes what she believes
I laugh and I cry
I live and I die
By her side
From time to time she puts her hand in mine
Holds me like a sharp shiny key
I was never one who needed to believe
In a god hard to find
But I found by her side
There’s a god
Even I can see
They say no work of art is ever done
Carved in bark or yet to come
Rivers run low and flow with only sky
Even gods have to die
But once in a while
There’s a god
Even I can see”

Musical Worldview: Erykah Badu, "On And On"
“The man that knows something
Knows that he knows nothing at all”
Musical Worldview: Billy Bragg and Wilco, "Jesus Christ For President"
“Let's have Christ our president
Let us have him for our king
Cast your vote for the carpenter
That they call the Nazarene
The only way
We could ever beat
These crooked politician men
Is to cast the moneychangers
Out of the temple
Put the carpenter in
Oh it's Jesus Christ our president
God above our king
With a job and pension for young and old
We will make hallelujah ring
Every year we waste enough
To feed the ones who starve
We build our civilization up
And we shoot it down with wars
But with the carpenter
On the seat
Way up in the capitol town
The USA
Be on the way
Prosperity bound”
Musical Worldview: Billy Bragg and Wilco, "Blood Of The Lamb"
“I am washed, yes I'm washed
I am washed in the blood
I'm all washed in the blood of the lamb
I'm all clean I'm all spotless
I'm all pure like the snow
I'm all washed in the blood of the lamb”
Musical Worldview: Bob Marley and the Wailers, "Guiltiness"
“Guiltiness (talking about guiltiness)
Pressed on their conscience, oh yeah, oh yeah
These are the big fish (these are the big fish)
Who always try to eat down the small fish
A just the small fish
And I tell you what (they would do anything)
To materialize their every wish
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
But woe, woe to the down pressers
They'll eat the bread of sorrow
Woe to the down pressers
They'll eat the bread of sad tomorrow
Woe to the down pressers
They'll eat the bread of sad tomorrow
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah”
Musical Worldview: Sufjan Stevens, "Video Game"
“I don’t wanna love you if won’t receive it
I don’t wanna save the world that way
I don’t wanna be your personal Jesus
I don’t wanna play your video game
I don’t wanna put the devil on a pedestal
I don’t wanna put the saints in chains
I just wanna make my life a little easier
I don’t wanna play your video game”
Musical Worldview: Erykah Badu: "Appletree"

And Granny told me that when I was only a youth
