You have to love anti-American songs.

You should read all the stupid people being all upset over Morrissey and one of his latest songs. They're all "I loved Moz while he was bashing everyone else but once he bashes me, I'm appalled."

People need to chill and stop taking things so seriously. It's a song for goodness sake. If you don't like it, don't buy it or skip the track and shut up. Geez!

And everyone's mad because he said he'd rather Bush died than Reagan. They say he should apologize, yadda yadda. My thing is, it's his opinion. Last thing I heard, we were allowed to voice our opinions. The only people who are mad at him are stupid Americans. Those Brits don't really care. Plus, I believe he is either half-kidding or doing that mocking of himself that he tends to do when people say he’s depressed and controversial.

Morrissey is controversial. He always has been. He wrote songs with racial connotations, one of his songs was entitled Suedehead and many of his songs have homosexual connotations. If you buy one of his CDs expecting it to be nursery rhymes you can sing to your children or filled with songs that won't offend you, you don't know Moz and shouldn't be buying one of his CDs.

People take things to heart a lot more than they should. If you don't like it, change the channel, turn it off, don't listen, look away, don't buy it, shut up. Complaining about it gets you nowhere. "Oh I hate this CD because the first song is bashing America and our American way of life. And me!" Skip the track then! Why'd you buy it? Can't you see the list of songs on the back of the CD? How hard is it to change instead of complain?

You know what? Here are the lyrics to the "anti-American" song on his latest CD. I don't think he's bashing America so much as telling us to open our eyes to see how full of ourselves we are.

Anyway, it's called America is Not the World and Morrissey is absolutely correct. America's not the world. So if you don't like something, take care of it on your own. Don't act like since you don't like it, it's evil and wrong.




America your head's too big, Because America, Your belly's too big
And I love you, I just wish you'd stay where you is

In America, The land of the free, they said, And of opportunity, In a just and a truthful way
But where the president, Is never black, female or gay, And until that day
You've got nothing to say to me, To help me believe

In America, It brought you the hamburger, Well America you know where, You can shove your hamburger
And don't you wonder, Why in Estonia they say, Hey you, Big fat pig
You fat pig, You fat pig

Steely Blue eyes with no love in them, Scan The World,
And a humourless smile, With no warmth within, Greets the world
And I, I have got nothing, To offer you
No-no-no-no-no
Just this heart deep and true, Which you say you don't need

See with your eyes, Touch with your hands, please, Hear through your ears, Know in your soul, please
For haven't you me with you now?
And I love you, I love you, I love you, And I love you, I love you, I love you






I love you all.

"I want to live and I want to Love. I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of."

P.S. My current desktop theme thingy. Multiple hearts to Sally. I love you to death.
