Godspeed You! Black Emperor (idea)

this is a forward for godspeed
nobody we know owns anything
many of us will never own anything at all

we're tired of feeling bewildered
tired of helplessness
we want many, many things to end soon
these times, when everything is denied us
anything is possible
but everyday stubborn, clumsy, beautiful ideas
drop on the withering vine
we're tired of this state of affairs
we call to end paranoia, self-intimidation and fear
meanwhile, the world spins
as if nothing has happened at all
we're all still waiting

we dedicate this to everyone who couldn't afford
the thirty dollar price tag!
we dedicate this to

the future is bleak, uncertain, beautiful
tomorrow they might come and arrest us all
only if you listen closely can you hear the machines
beneath the sidewalk whispering...
the machines beneath the sidewalk are
always whispering

strive to listen close
please, try to be free
don't be afraid
the end of the world will never come.
