TRF – Welcome To The New Show

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don’t wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

(Silence, you lost me– no chance for one more day)
(Silence, you lost me– no chance for one more day)
(I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home)

2010 burst onto the scene a little more then 79 minutes ago. In the last decade, there has been two immediate constants; wrestling and disappointments. How can ANYONE say these last 10 years have been a success?

The world made more money, and proceeded to flush it into the shitter, or into the pockets of the fat cats, depending on which side of the fence you rest on. Economically, we are fucked.

Mainstream music and film scenery has become as relevant and important as the environment is to the stockbrokers. Why bother with Lady Gaga when you can receive the same feeling from overdosing and throwing yourself down a flight of stairs? And it will probably feel better afterwards too. Culturally, we are fucked.

Corruption, lies and deceit are the status quo, the modus operandi for a happy life. Someone’s legs must be broken for your pair to work. Money fuels happiness, but we’ve run out of money. Happiness fuels content, but we can’t be happy, nor content, when all we have to do to spot decadence is gaze outside your own window. Industry has overthrown beauty, profit has overthrown peace, even the “comfort” of organised religion has failed to provide relief to those who seek it. Figureheads either abuse children, attempt to become pop culture icons, or hypocritically orator the word of a book written 2,000 years ago. 2,000 years ago, leeches were used to cure headaches and women gave birth in stables.

Guess evolution still isn’t taught in schools, huh…

Open your goddamn eyes…

We are fucked…

We have no chance for another day. CERN can trip a switch and the world will be catapulted into a vacuum of catastrophic proportions. It’s almost happened already. For what?! It’s not going to feed starving people in the Third World, it’s designed to boost egos.

Don’t get me started on the nuclear power reliance. I’d have to be put in a straitjacket.

We are fucked…

Welcome to the new decade.

We are fucked…
