When you cast your eyes upon the skylines
Of this once proud nation
Can you sense the fear and the hatred
Growing in the hearts of its population

And our youth, oh youth, are being seduced
by the greedy hands of politics and half truths

The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Reared on a diet of prejudice and misinformation
The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Open your eyes, open your imagination

We're being sedated by the gasoline fumes
and hypnotized by the satellites
Into believing what is good and what is right

You may be worshiping the temples of mammon
Or lost in the prisons of religion
But can you still walk back to happiness
When you've nowhere left to run?

And if they send in the special police
To deliver us from liberty and keep us from peace

Then won't the words sit ill upon their tongues
when they tell us justice is being done
and that freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun

Some of the history, often inflated though it is, is something of a hobby of mine, and the latter incident was fully documented - somehow he pulled off several almost outright impossibilities, which is why it came to mind when you said "fantastical", see ?

I've always wondered what his issue was, what was going through his head, and why - but we'll never know.

Kinda makes me wonder if a lotta these guys weren't descended from friggin Rasputin, don't it ?
