about

This is the second version of 'mixed bags', this time faster and more aggressive.

lyrics

never trust the left, never trust the right
never trust anyone who wants you to join their side
who'll exclude all but his own in a 2 party system
such package deals are toxic, without any exception

there is truth on each side there is lies on each side
but the packages as they are are always poisoned apples
affirm the truth on the left, affirm the truth on the right
but endorse no-one who'll exclude a whole other side

truth and justice will never recognise party lines
and party lines can never keep truth and justice in or out
they'll always be present in different forms on different sides
even the worst dictator has some things right even the best idealist has some things wrong

a human being or his creation is always a mixed bag
a human being or his creation is always a mixed bag

some things we should conserve and some other things need a lot of progress
we need both, not one or the other, and usually we’ll need them both together
let's conserve it it’s good and go beyond it if it's wrong
And let’s transcend all this nonsense before we fossilise again

flesh and blood are never ever the actual enemy
a human being can be wrong and be bound by lies and systems
but she or he is still a sister or brother to ourselves
with the lies and systems and things between us as the real enemy

a human being or his creation as always a mixed bag
a human being or his creation as always a mixed bag
