On this day joining my home country The Netherlands to ask for donations and/or time for our Neighbors of Ukraine, I thought of this song and more specifically the line: “Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction”.
Soul Connection
There are many ways to Boost Your Soul and music is a fantastic one. There are a variety of genres you can listen to, even Soul Music is a genre in itself. To me, music is also a way to Connect with your Soul. A tool to help you go through emotions and acknowledge them. Depending on your mood, there will be always a piece of art that goes along with it. What I love most about music is how it can Connect people.
Sometimes, I am in need of a thought provoking song which describes my own thoughts and my mind resonates with most of the lyrics. Let’s proof not to be ‘wicked’ and help our neighbors in need.
Faithless - Mass Destruction
Lyrics
My Dad came into my room
Holding his hat
I knew he was leavin’
He sat on my bed
Told me some facts
“Son,
I have a duty
Calling on me
You and your sister
Be brave
My little soldier”
“And don’t forget all I told ya
You’re the mister of the house now
Remember this
And when you wake up in the mornin’
Give ya Momma a kiss”
Then I had to say goodbye
In the mornin’ woke Momma with
A kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I’m only a kid
Certain things can’t be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was
Made of gold
But left her
Inner stories untold
I said
“Momma it’ll be alright
When Daddy comes home
Tonight”
Whether long range weapon
Or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether you’re Soaraway Sun
Or BBC One
Misinformation is a weapon
Of mass destruc
You coulda Caucasian
Or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether inflation
Or globalization
Fear is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton,
Enron or anyone
Greed
Is a weapon
Of mass destruction
We need to
Find courage
Overcome
Inaction is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Inact
The skin under my chin
Is exploding again
I’m getting stress
From some other children
I’m holding it in
We takin’ sides like a politician
And if I get friction
We get to fightin’
I’ll defend my Dad
He’s the best of all men
And whatever he’s doin’
He’s doin’ the right thing
It’s frightening
But it makes me mad
Why do all of these people
Seem to hate my dad?
And if that ain’t enough
Now I get these spots
I go to sleep every night
With my stomach in knots
And what’s more
I can hear Momma next door
Explore the radio
For reports of war
And all we ever seem to do
Is hide the tears
Seems like Daddy been gone
For years
But he was right
Now I’m geared up
For the fight
And he would be
Proud of me
When daddy came home, tonight
Or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether you’re Soaraway Sun
Or BBC One
Misinformation is a weapon
Of mass destruc
You coulda Caucasian
Or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether inflation
Or globalization
Fear
Is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton,
Enron or anyone
Greed
Is a weapon
Of mass destruction
We need to
Find courage
Overcome
Inaction is a weapon
Of mass destruction
My story stops here
Let’s be clear
This scenario is
Happening everywhere
And you ain’t going to nirvana
Or far-vana
You’re coming right
Back here
To live out your karma
With even more drama
Than previously
Have we been waitin’
For someone else
To make us free?
That people overseas suffer
Just like we:
Bad leadership and egos
Unfettered and free
Who feed on the people
They’re supposed to lead
I don’t need good people
To pray and wait
For the Lord to
Make it all straight
Do it right
‘Cause I don’t want your daddy
Leavin’ home tonight
Leavin’ home tonight
