Boy Sets Fire Chapters 3 Endorsement Lyrics:
[It is the belief of Marx that the personal is
dead; that all is the political. Throughout
history this can be seen as true; that the choices
we make every day influence and shape the world
around us. Edmund Bruce wrote in his book
Reflections that government preyed on the basest
instincts found in man; the fear of death and the
desire to make money. Bruce found that government
did not do anything to promote any ideals or
values; all that was left was death and taxes (the
often cited "only sure things") and people were
left empty and suspicious of one another. Imagine
the American citizenry as a group of rats
squabbling over refuse found in a garbage,
fighting viciously fighting with one another over
that one piece of rancid cheese, while the real
rats (big business, government) sit in their great
halls and eat their pounds of flesh. This distrust
and fear of each other has permeated every aspect
of American life. A stranger is treated with fear

and distrust at best, and outright hostility at
worst. The media fosters this distrust by airing
and reporting the most brutal sensationalized
stories possible. The American citizen must learn
to trust their fellow man again and realize whom
the real criminals are.]
"i create my own. I no longer revolve. around your
resentment. I can smell the hatred behind your
tearing sneer. I am no longer threatened by this
judgment throne. lies. dead. stagnant. change.
forgetting one more day. I could really care less
about your lame confinement. my ego's not worth
saving when true change is not met. forgetting one
last day. I can't understand. but I feel this rage
is spreading on inside me. you tread on me like
you have before. my body is broke but my soul's
unbowed. your laughter fuels a will to move inside
of me that I've never felt. standing, grabbing
ground. your faces all drown out. I can't
understand but I can't stop forward moving. I
won't be pulled down anymore this is all I have no
matter what scorn. ears sliced off by complacency
do their bodies no good for the words they speak.
you tried your best to take me down and then
explained that's what friends are for. your ruled
me out. you ruled me out."
