Might Makes Right

I have a post coming on a book I just finished, but not today (good book called Marley and Me by John Grogan). Today, I just want eveyone to read and think about these lyrics, because they have been ringing in my ears lately. However, I'd like to briefly make a few short notes beforehand. First, due to the fact that I was confused when reading over my previous posts, I now plan on using correct capitalization and grammar, unless I post any poetry and such. Second, this post was originally going to have additional thoughts based on the lyrics to this song, but I decided that the lyrics speak for themselves. Feel encouraged to comment and dialogue.


"Might Makes Right"
by Camper Van Beethoven

I'm crawling through the brush, we're teched up to the hilt
Compared to us these poor guys should be wearing shorts and kilts
I've got a living breathing shadow crossed up in my scope
My partner gives the signal, pull the trigger, then there's smoke

Might makes right
Yeah might makes right
I guess that God is on our side and makes us mighty
Yeah might makes right
Yeah might makes right
They say that God is on our side I don't believe them

They want us from the villages, they want us from the towns
Who could really blame them, shit blows up when we're around
We fly above their houses with our Huey double-props
We scare the crap out of their kids, their mothers and their pops
