Lyrics:
I'm growing old in rooms full of kids with unruly haircuts,
Taking what comfort we can
In the fact that every empire's days are numbered...man.
But I don't think that I can count that high.
I should have paid better attention in school or something,
‘Cause I feel like there's something that I don't know and if I could just jam it into my skull, I could stand to live somehow. But I don't know!
And the fact is I'm 2.7 decades into a growing ambivalence.
I could count on no hands how many fucks I'm giving. Or is it a million?
Are "god" and "void" equivalent?
Are we making total destroy or just making a living?
And I know that Rome wasn't burnt in a day, but it couldn't have been more than a week!
And I know that the children of barbarians become the new tax collectors and priests. So I don't know!
I suppose we've been rolling since the world was round, and time makes dust to what we can't tear down.
And I suppose dead bodies make soil of the ground. But what about what we do now?
I'm growing old in rooms full of kids with unruly haircuts,
Taking what comfort we can
In the fact that every empire's days are numbered...man.
But I don't think I can count that high.
One mythological explanation of the origin of the phrase "Make Total Destroy," taken from a random internet source: "Here’s the way I remember hearing the story, I don’t know if it’s true per se, and I don’t suppose it much matters. There was an anti-IMF consulta in DC, and representatives from all over the world were discussing what actions their communities would take locally. Person by person, they detailed comprehensive plans for direct actions, balancing risks and possible rewards, the various statements they would be making, the composition of coalitions, etc. These kinds of meetings can stretch on and on, and are often filled with all sorts of bullshit posturing and rarefied code words. In short, they can be insufferable. The discussion finally gets around to a Greek anarchist group. The Greeks are internationally known for being especially militant (and awesome). Their spokesman addresses the assembly and says simply, 'We will make total destroy.' Everyone looks incredulous and confused. The Greek spokesman, fearing he has miscommunicated, excuses himself to confer with his group. He speaks with them in hurried Greek, and the rest of the assembly seems relieved that there will be further explanation. After the short clarification, the spokesman turns to the room again and says, 'Yes, we will make total destroy.'" ([ Ссылка ])
