built for the future

Some say a trick, some say a look
It's just a way of thinking after all
From underneath something concrete
It's just a way of coping, coping with it all
Some with revolt, some will obey
Who attains perfection and who's to say
A criminal or a cardinal
They're both frightened of angels
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future

For some a walk, to some a dance
It's just a form of motion one and all
Without dispute the least aware
Will no doubt see the ragings of a fool
First we look then we spy
The man who has a vision wants it all
A sin so clean rule supreme
The power to undermine
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
Build it up, build it up for the future

Some say a trick, some say a look
Some say a trick, some say...

First a glance, then a chance
To make a simple gesture worth it all
A conquer all, a desert stall
That serves a drink to people under the sun
At last the place, now where's the time
To take in all the other points of view
Some are inert but one exists
To build a bridge
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
So build it, build it up, for the future
It doesn't mean much now
Some will revolt, some will obey
(Built for the future)
Who attains perfection, and who's to say
It doesn't mean much now
So build it up, build it up, built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
A criminal, a cardinal
(Built for the future)
Both frightened of angels
It doesn't mean much now
So build it, build it up
Built for the future
It doesn't mean much now...

Thick as a Brick

Thick as a Brick is the fifth studio album by the British rock band Jethro Tull, released in March 1972. The album contains a continuous piece of music, split over two sides of an LP record, and is a parody of the concept albumgenre. The original packaging, designed like a newspaper, claims the album to be a musical adaptation of an epic poem by fictional eight-year-old genius Gerald Bostock, though the lyrics were actually written by the band's frontman, Ian Anderson.

take a risk

Well, I can't let go of how this stuff control me
Ain't that so? The past is all that warned me
To and from, the tide don't even phase me
Around I go, history repeating, history repeating

On the move, time waits for no one
Snooze or lose
All the changes to come down us all
Didn't see it coming, didn't see it coming

Make a wish, grab a kiss
'Cause it's time to take a risk
Fallin' through to do as you should
You'll have to deal with it

All for one, political and mind fields
Seem so real, words that are heart-felt
One simple need took down a new addiction
Beggin' please for the wind to change

Make a wish, grab a kiss
It's time to take a risk
Fallin' through to do as you should
You'll have to deal with it

Make a wish, grab a kiss
It's time to take a risk for the future generation
Who's gonna take on the beast
You'll have to deal with it
It's gonna kill the beast
Don't let go, don't let go
Won't let go, don't let go
Kill the beast

I can't let go, I won't let go
I can't let go, I won't let go of how this stuff control me
Ain't that so? The past is all that warned me
To and from, the tide don't even phase me
Around I go, history re-repeating

It's time to take a risk for the future generation
Who's gonna take on the beast
Who's gonna take on the beast
Future generation's gotta kill the beast
Stop with that shit
Kill the, kill the

I can't let go, I won't let go
Told you so, I won't let go
Won't let go, won't let go

out of an overabundance of caution

It’s Redundant

- This should be pretty obvious for most of us. And yet we still see this suspender/belt combo out on the streets all the time. Belts are made to hold your pants up by cinching in at your waist/hips. Suspenders are also made to hold your pants in place by bracing the pants over the shoulders - this creates a more flattering silhouette and is much more comfortable throughout the day since it’s not forcing your mid-section to be squeezed in order to hold your pants up. Bottom line, if you feel that your belt or suspenders can’t do the job on it’s own, it might be time to go to a tailor.

It’s Terrible

- Let’s be frank, no good can come from wearing suspenders and a belt at the same time. It’s gawky, awkward, uncomfortable looking, and just plain wrong. It’s like wearing a baseball hat and visor at the same time - pointless.

near the end

And when you fell you're near the end
Will you just turn it over and start again?
Is there a stirring in your heart
As the time comes when we will have to part?

And when you feel you're near the end
And there's a stranger where once was a friend
And you are left without a word
Only the whispers that you've overheard

Standing in silence, holding my breath
Disconnected and dry
And though I'm certain that there's nothing left
To hold on to, to give or to try
Some things never change, no don't ever change
And I'm feeling the cold
Thinking that we're getting older and wiser
When we're just getting old

And when you feel you're near the end
And what once burned so bright is growing dim?
And when you see what's been achieved
Is there a feeling that you've been deceived
