I think the whole concept behind lyrics is you better mean what you say, or you should like, become a storyteller. i mean, there's a lot of bands who are just storytellers, and then there are bands who actually have something valid to say. and the bands who have valid points are few and far between.

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

In no other field has the world yet paid so dearly for the abandonment of nineteenth-century liberalism as in the field where the retreat began: in international relations. yet only a small part of the lesson which experience ought to have taught us has been learned.
