Caveat: Take the chain off your brain

What I'm listening to right now.

Pointer Sisters, "You Gotta Believe." The remarkable video is by Nina Paley, who has been blogged here before.

Lyrics.

[Intro]
Doodle wop a-rat-a-tat boom
I'll make the sound of a jet plane zoom
Doodle wop a-rat-a-tat boom
I'll make the sound of a fire

[Hook]
You got to believe in somethin'
Why not believe in me?
You got to believe in somethin'
Why not believe in me?

[Verse One]
What have I, I done to you
To make you mean
And treat me the way you do?
Go on and wave your flag, brother
Start your revolution
I'm willin' to let you do your thing
Tell me why are you plannin' a compromise?

[Hook]

Take the chain off your brain
Take the chain off your brain
Stop, take a look at yourself
Stop ridiculin' everybody else

[Hook x2]

Caveat: Poem #551

that wild man enkidu in the fields
galivanting and breaking things
shaking his fist at the sun
no one approved of this
the woman shamhat
went out to him
there that's nice
now he's
tamed
