cortes and his spaniard thugs have been getting tortured in xibalba till this day

It may have been religion back then that distorted the mind, but today it's wealth. Today we kill for some pieces of paper that we print ourselves. That seems a lot more vicious to me than killing to appease a God you thought was responsible for your existence.

Wealth distorts the mind.

@EpiLP Only a wealthy, first-world brat would say something so disconnected, inhumane and untrue.

Incredible performance. Have loved this song since I first heard it in '75.

amazing that this is from 1999. the last of the pure era. before the technological stuff. almost prophetic. i just had a colt 45.

the album version makes me cry but this on makes me weep,i translat the lyrics to my own life,how we can build great things in our lives and in one moment,one word an action can destroy what we have and sometimes will never get it back,and have to live with the results forever.like loseing your wife/husband to devorce.
