Sent some guitars to the Arkestar https://soundcloud.com/ocean-of-tunes-presents... the Maestro came up with this lil' wonder :)

I WON'T LET MY HEROES DIE
If U want 2 bring my world down, U were never down!
Do what U think makes U right, your Heaven's nearer!
U might think U want mine, so lay it down,
'Cause you're never so wrong 'bout it, in your life!

Back up the World, it's gonna need a major clean,
Shut down the drives & we might just get out alive,
remember the Peace, remember there's a way outta here,
4get all the greed, regret all the wanting & needs.

U can rely, there's truth in my lies, there's truth in the words I've got 2 hide,
I Can't tell U why, I can't tell U how, but I can't be honest with U now.

Sun's in the Sky, I'm closing my eyes,
Closing 'em tight its my disguise,
you're hearing my sighs, you're asking me why,
I don't have the words to sympathise,

Was my life, once mine? being fed all the zero's
Alphabet still seems light, 'cause you've stolen my Heroes,
Patience now has run dry, gotta breathe 2b near U,
'Cause I, Won't let my Heroes Die!

I Won't let my Heroes Die

A COST
“The system was developed by John Maynard Canes and Richard Stone, based on a pamphlet they wrote called, literally, The British National Income & How to Pay for the War, and this became the basis of national income accounting.

...the more that you smoke cigarettes or the more that you have automobile accidents the more growth increases.

... National Income Accounting.

… we’ve just contributed to the national income of the country…

… Stone was then recruited by the new United Nation’s organization.

…. I would kind of consider that a debit in my account - a cost not a benefit. National Income accounting doesn’t have a debit side, as long as the activity passes through the market, its good for growth!

…. by 1953, that set of rules was imposed on every country. Its called the United Nation’s System of National Accounts… all nations must conform to these rules of economic measurements or they cannot belong to the United Nations.

Important decisions are made with these figures, decisions which will determines who’s needs are met first, decisions on killing the planet, decisions on who will live, or die. These measurements do not include everything, they are highly selective.

So what is included and excluded in this system? The system includes everything that goes through the market place. 

… You know, I would kind of consider that a debit in my account, a cost, not a benefit!”

> its a game, all twisted, it’s all illusion, and you twist me, all illusion<

“… this means that there is no value to peace … this means that there is no value to the preservation of natural resources for future generations… this means there is no value to unpaid work, including the unpaid work of reproducing human life itself, including the unpaid work of women who feed and nurture their own families.”

> we’re gonna take it down, we’re gonna take it down, this is a construct, we’re gonna take it down. this construct, we gonna take it down. we’re gonna take it down. border, border, this construct we gonna take it down<

“this an economic system that can eventually kill us all”

> we’re gonna take it down, i live and breathe, this construct, we’re gonna take it down, what’s a borders, take a hold on me, border border, take it down, i am the construct, take it down, border, we gonna take it down, i am the construct borders<

>history, history, show me your time, breath of soul, oh all that they build for us is lies, body of clay, history, breathe of soul, time, breathe of soul, ill be singing from a cage, tell you of rage, breathe of soul, work it in your favour, breath of soul, we’re gonna take it down, your desperation, hopelessness, your desperation, helplessness, we’re gonna take it down.<

A clever bird: builds a nest to protect all of us!*

>take it down, this economic system! this economic system<

“...that death, homelessness, injury, poverty and starvation caused by the use of these weapons is not even registered as a deficit!”

>It’s going down!!!! we’re gonna take it down, we gonna take it down.
Yay dekhay gay to! (they shall see then! / when they will see.)<

“A Cost!”

>Yay dekhay gay to! Yay dekhay gay to.<

“Not a benefit!”

>Yay, this economic system, yay, is going down, dekhay gay to!<

“Not a benefit!”

>Yay dekhay gay to! Down! Going Down! Down!<

>Body of clay, breath of soul<

>we're gonna take it down, we're gonna take it down<

A Cost - The Fudge Nutz | Myrh

A song about staying inside the house...

Here are the lyrics:

How can i live stuck
inside my house?
There is a cat outside
and i'm the mouse

How can i breathe when
my door is closed
online all day and i
wear no clothes

Since when my freedom
will be lost?
I want it back at
any cost

I'm like a bird 
inside a cage
my spirit's falling 
like my wage

I had a girl
we used to meet
i always parked my car 
at the dark end of the street

I want her so
and i need more
can't wait so long

Got to send a message 
to go out
I don't know what
is all about

Feel there's a rope
around my neck
i have to watch my
every step

I had a girl
we're both in jail
i'm so in love but i'm
only kissing her by mail

I want to run 
under the sun 
and stay outside my house 
for as long as i can

"I think you’ll remember,
Mr. Athelney Jomes"

Sherlock Holme softly said,
And Jones loudly wheezed.
"It is Sherlock Holmes,
Unforgettable theorist.
I'll never forget
how you lectured us all.
on causes and inference,
effects in the bishopgate
jewel case.

It's true that you set us
Aptly on the right track;
but you must own by now
It was more by good luck
than because of good guidance."

But Holmes shook his head
And returned to the man
"It was only a piece
Of simple reasoning."

"Oh, come now, come on!
Please don't be ashamed
to ever own up.
And what is all this?

Business gone bad!
Business gone bad!
The sternfacts are here —
There’s no room for theories.

As I happened to be
At the station of Norwood
Quite a different case!
When the message arrived.

What do you think
Must have murdered the man?"
But Holmes dryly said
"I’ll not theorize on it,"

"It is only a piece
Of simple reasoning."
"It is only a piece
Of simple reasoning."
