"One Foot In the Grave" or "Terrie Shiavo" or "Happy Easter"

I couldn't decide on just one title . . .

I was driving to my in-laws for Easter this afternoon, listening to Beck's "One Foot In The Grave" on the CD Player and it hit me how it was actually a Easter themed CD. Loosely, of course, but still! It hit on death, the beyond, our hopes, everything! And then it hit me how it also applied to the Terrie Shiavo case. I was dreading my in-laws bringing this up. The whole "no one is right except for me" point of view. The "everyone who doesn't listen to Fox News is wrong" point of view. And a lot of the lyrics applied to this topic as well. Beck is a genius.

If you doubt me, just check this out:

HE'S A MIGHTY GOOD LEADER
He's a mighty good leader
He's a mighty good leader
He's a mighty good leader
All the way
All the way, lord
From up to heaven
He's a mighty good leader
All the way"

I GET LONESOME
"So glad to be a slab
Stiff as a stick on a board
I get thoughts and dirty socks
Piled in the corner

I get lonesome. . ."

I HAVE SEEN THE LAND BEYOND
"From the shores where we belong
I have seen the land beyond
Where the lord is strange and strong
I have seen the land beyond

There's no telling who'll be dead
When the pale horse is turning red.
And the tongues will burn in vain
And everything will feel the same"

OUTCOME
"Left for dead
Left for dead
Left for dead
Dead as a fly"

"Outcome is different that I expected"

CYANIDE BREATH MINT
"In the afternoon
Riding the scapegoat
Burning equipment
Decomposing
Cool off your jets
Take off your sweats
I got a funny feeling
They got plastic in the afterlife

When they want you to cry
Leap into the sky
When they suck your mind
Like a pigeon you'll fly
I know, I know
It's the positive people
Running from their time
Looking for some feeling"

SLEEPING BAG
"And the world is a holiday
Smoking in an old ashtray
They just blow it out their nose and say ok"
