jedusorWell, God, it's like this
It may be arrogance or just appalling taste
I'd rather use my pain than let it all go to waste
On some old god who tells me what I want to hear
As if I cannot tell obedience from fear
I want to take my pleasures where and how I will,
Be they disgraceful or distasteful or distilled
And to be frank I find that life has more appeal
Without a driver who's asleep behind the wheel
--"Don't Look Down" by the Divine Comedy (YouSendIt link)
The song is actually about a Ferris wheel, and the rest of it is quite good too, but that was the part that made me stop washing the dishes and check my iPod to see what I was listening to.
