when i started this blog i had vowed to myself that i would update it regualrly and maintain a creative vent for my somewhat disarrayed thoughts...but as with all planned things it never panned out......so here i am again after a long time mostly because i have nothing else to do at 5 am and am unable to sleep and partly because there is a vestige of the original feeling i had when i started this blog....anyway i had come across this song "Regaining Unconsciousness"by a band called "NoFX"....i have not really heard much of these guys but they had this punk rock anti-government kind of sound which sounded good enough....but the lyrics of this song actually were influenced by this ancient german poem written during nazi time that i had read a long time back....
Regaining Unconsciousness
First they put away the dealers,
keep our kids safe and off the street.
then they put away the prostitutes,
keep married men cloistered at home.
Then they shooed away the bums,
then they beat and bashed the queers,
turned away asylum-seekers,
fed us suspiscions and fears.
We didn't raise our voice,
we didn't make a fuss.
It's funny there was no one left to notice
when they came for us.
