"I dunno why, but I got to do the things I do! Scam !

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
LYRICS AFTER INTRO (Say it all)

[Verse 1]
You say you fight to give us freedom
But often more than not this is abused
And the faces of a tired generation
Have decided they are sick of being used
For the purpose of the current declarations
Still the same, it'll never change until the end
Is to buy the appreciation of the nation
To cover the mistakes you must defend
And you say there'll be a chance for everyone
To protest against your calculated greed
But I can see and into the future
Won't be long before the welfare
Send me letters telling me how much they need
And it's not been in my interest to please them
For the only interest rate to fall is mine
See a brand new generation is demanding
What you've been doing with our money all this time?

[Chorus]
'Cause now I've got to scam
People try living life at speed of light
Scam
Don't know why but I have to do the things I do
Scam
Gimme a ten, that's the move I give you five
Scam
People say that it's the way to stay alive
Scam now
Scam
Hey, I know I gotta scam
I know I gotta scam (Ooh)
You might also like
[Verse 2]
S-s-so you see, you have to be a schemer
If you wanna love the life you have to live
And it don't matter how much that I earn
'Cause I always get my fingers burned
When The Man gets down to his business
And I've been sear-sear-searching for a reason
Why I have to give it all up just when I want to get ahead
See I had to lose car, job, wife, dog and home
Debts and threats on the telephone
Maybe I should bust a move instead
Hey, now we all know when we watch the television
Not confused between a puppet or conviction
Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of wisdom
It ain't what it seems when it's a single-sided system
Hey, someone's got a hold on my living
I'm gonna have to do the thing that's fair
They've got to justify for what I should be giving
Should I lie, should I steal or should I care?
Hey, because I've got to scam
Scamming your life away

[Synth solo]

[Chorus]
Hey, scam
People try living life at speed of light
Scam
Don't know why but I have to do the things I do
Scam, hey!
Everybody's got to scam now
Scam
Ooh, bust them moves as quick as you can
Scam (Right on)
[Trumpet solo]
(Ohh scamming)

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Now, I got to scam
Got to scam to get me through every day
Got to scam
Got to scam
I got to scam
Woah
Scamming for every day
Scamming for all my life
Scamming to pay my way
Hey, I got to scam!
No nine to five!
I gotta stay alive!
I gotta keep it all
Hey, I got to scam
G-g-g-g-g-g-goo
Scamming
Sc-sc-sc-sc-scoo-wah
[Scat]
Hey yeah!

Trying to recall details about a long-gone podcast (RIP #Dailysonic), I started looking through various pages using @internetarchive's Wayback Machine. There's a unique thrill in unearthing info long gone from the surface web, but what really gives me chills is finding forum posts and comments with my old username. It's like chasing a digital ghost and catching a glimpse. It reminds me of how much I've changed and how much remains the same.

Why do scandal and tragedy tend to go more viral than heartwarming tales if most human interactions are positive? It's because fear, not warmth, grabs our attention more, hence it's what sells and attracts clicks and views. Fear brings money.

Ugh, fear helps elect the worst people.

BUT.... the last bit in that post (similar to Henry Ford) is sadly untrue for today's people...
==============

" If people knew what was really going on, there'd be an uprising and things would change.

from my living test of people (most of my life from high school, ranging from parents, teachers (outside of school and when older today) and getting better as I go saying the same thing here even on Fediverse) people do not even confirm / acknowledge or confront it.

The literally live with it regardless and even say "I know but..." and say things like "got to eat / my children / etc etc" without seeing all is written off and into hell without trying to bend the bad tree of life (banks) back to something straighter even if there is no 1-shot kill.... but people aren't even interested to work on that even though it devalues their whole life and work... even some answered that it's the children that have to deal with it hence the same vicious loop that and other students rightly take into their own hands as honestly the excuse not to even think about this daily is part of bent-ness of life and even supports it but deliberately ignoring such big elephant in room...

TLDR = PEOPLE KNOW - THEY ARE COWARDS / CAN'T FACE TO CHANGE COMFORT AS SUCH A COST AND DEVALUE FACTOR TO EVERYONE USING DEBT TO 'GROW' LIFE (False numbers / false loans).

I hope if you need someone that you can always consider me + high importance is our individuality + thank you for sharing 💗 

I hope if you need someone that you can always consider me -
it may be a faster response than you expect in reply but still it is communication progress of a better kind (because it's caring)... so just saying that...

I know 'outside' there is less orientation towards caring across almost all life so better we do it ourselves and for others who too need it. Eventually also those that perhaps don't see / feel as much as other people or put it to such high importance.

The heart 💗 is of high importance and reflects our individuality. I thank you for sharing... @actuallyautistic

OK, new calculus:

My nominal enemies:
- Have control over everything that happens in their favor
- Reliably make horrible decisions and lie
- These lies are robust over thousands of years
- Are committed to torturing at least some people forever
- Exist in a state of permanent animalistic false consciousness

My nominal friends:
- Have spheres of control that are miniscule compared to what happens in their favor
- Are permissive to evil outside of (maybe) eternal torture
- Tell lies that remain opaque because they are forgotten as soon as their use has transpired
- Pursue unfathomable objectives

I am still leaning towards keeping my friends but someone who is better at thinking please help me understand what is going on.
