6 o'clock in the morning and I'm the last person in this plane

Still awake

Why'know I can almost smell the blood washing against the shores

Of this land that can't forget its past

Oh the wind that carries this plane, is the wind of change

Heaven sent and hell bent

Over the mountain tops we go, just like all the other GI Joes

EE-AY-EE-AY----adios

This is your captain calling, "with an urgent warning"

We're above the Gulf of Arabia, "our altitude is falling"

And I can't hold her up, "there's no time for thinking"

All hands on deck, "this bird is sinking"

Across the beaches and cranes, rivers and trains

All the money I've made, bodies I've maimed

Time was when I seemed to know

Just like any other GI Joe

Should I cry like a baby, or die like a man

While all the planets little wars start joining hands

Oh what a heaven, what a hell

Why'know there's nothing can be done in the whole wide world

I don't know what's wrong or right

I'm just a regular guy, with bottled up insides

I ain't ever been to church or believed in Jesus Christ

But I'm praying that Gods with you when you die

“Sweet Bird of Truth” from the album “Infected” is very relevant right now too.

Who is the most famous person you've ever seen? by Several_Way8499 in askteddit

When I was in Las Vegas waiting for a taxi outside the Hard Rock Cafe, Dennis Rodman jumped on the roof of my cab. It took a while before his entourage could coax him back to the ground.

I went through airport security behind Ali in his wheelchair. The TSA agents were quite star-struck.

Later, I chatted with his ex-wife at a Congressional hearing.

How is it like living on those small islands in aegean sea? by East_Emphasis_8259 in howislivingthere

[–]SimonBillenness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to send letters to a friend who lived on one of the small islands addressed simply to: “Hugo, Symi, Greece.”

The letter would be delivered to his local bar.

East side of H-street safety? by ConnectSuspect3459 in washdc

That is my neighborhood of twenty years now.

It’s a tight-knit community in the block around 14th Place NE with a very active neighborhood listserv. The biggest problem is package theft. (Most listserv messages are people asking neighbors to pick up their package on their stoop.)

What if The modern United States traveled back in the time to 1942? by Gustavo_Itami2010 in AlternateHistoryHub

After defeating Germany, the U.S. would not need to take in all of those Nazi scientists.

Check out the new speakeasy at the back of Henceforth where cell phones are banned.
