Children runaway from the torturistic ways
Children still resist from the powers that persist
"Will you shut up and sit still?"
"I think you should obey!"
Having very few rights we cannot communicate
Train my brain to work the way you want me to
Don't question authority see
Be a little zombie that agrees with you
You are strapped with a double standard clip
In a battle you won't win
And when it's over we're gonna dance your memory away
Sheltering will restrict your baby's mind
Where does this come from?
Tho this is much harder edged than my usual listening habits, most of this album hit me hard lyrically when it came out in the early 90's. I think you'd like it.

I should be the supreme ruler of the world with all decisions final. It would be a better place.
I'll back ya if Wavy Gravy isn't up for the job.
I'll back ya if Wavy Gravy isn't up for the job.

***TalkBass Forum Rules***
Rule #1: Respect your fellow members. All registered users must address fellow members with the utmost respect at all times. If you do not agree with a fellow member, be courteous in your response. Thomas Jefferson said it best: "When I hear another express an opinion which is not mine, I say to myself, he has a right to his opinion, as I to mine".
Because of the limitations of text-based communication, the expression of intent can be tricky. One of the most common triggers of rule violations is the misinterpretation of intent behind a post. Use smilies often, and remember, it never hurts to begin a response with "In my opinion"...
If you do not address everyone on the board with respect, be prepared to lose your membership.
Please remember that threads are not your personal property and others are welcome to post relevant comments in them, including clubs and ads. We do not allow exclusionary posts here, so please do not state that certain other members (for any particular reason) cannot post in your thread.
Rule #2: Do not post profanity or obscenity. Because this forum is viewed by bassists of all ages, all posts must be suitable for viewing by minors. All profanity must be completely covered with asterisks, or completely substituted with "@%$#" symbols. Better yet, leave it out. Any use of creative lettering or partially masked profanity is not allowed. Obscene material, Strategically covered nudity, Sheer or see-through clothing, Lewd or provocative poses, Close-ups of breasts, buttocks, or crotches is not permitted, nor are links to websites containing such material or anything deemed inappropriate for minors. If what you have to say wouldn't be suited for network TV, the workplace, or your family, don't post it here.
Rule #3: Off-limit Topics & Forum-Specific Rules Controversial topics will be VERY closely moderated. Politics and religious debate/discussion are not allowed in any forum unless specifically allowed by the forum's posted rules ("sticky" threads). All gear 'for-sale' and 'wanted' text must be limited to posts in the TalkBass Classifieds category. The Bass Guitar Classifieds are open to Supporting Members only. If you want to post your 'for sale' or 'wanted' text in your signature, a Supporting Membership is required. "What's it worth" posts for personal instruments are limited to Supporting Members. If you'd like more info on becoming a supporting member, please see this page. Solicitations for charity are not allowed in the public forums. You are responsible for noting any forum-specific rules pinned to the top of any forum. For example, please note the Bass Guitar Classifieds Rules and the Off Topic forum rules
Rule #4: Cultural Sensitivity Negative remarks based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or religion will not be tolerated.
Rule #5: Questioning a Moderation Decision Publicly If you have a disagreement with a moderator (If your thread gets deleted, if you get a warning, etc.), DO NOT post your complaint publicly on the forums. If you would like to raise a complaint regarding a moderator's actions, start a private conversation or email the moderator. If the moderator's response is unsatisfactory, please contact the forum admin staff by clicking the "contact us" link in any page's footer.
We take all complaints seriously, but posting your dissatisfaction publicly will result in a rule violation.
Rule #6: Use Courtesy via PM & IM Please use courtesy when using the E-Mail, ICQ, or IM functions of the board. Any complaints of members abusing these messaging functions will result in membership termination.
Rule #7: Spam = BAD The posting of non-solicited advertisments in the forums will not be tolerated. If you own, operate, or are employed by a music-related business be sure and read the Commercial User Policy for specific participation guidelines. Please contact TalkBass to discuss advertising opportunities. Classifieds Forums are provided for personal sales, however a Supporting Membership is required to post. Non-Supporting Members must also refrain from posting 'for sale' ads or links to ads in their profile signatures. Posting links to personal external sale ads or auctions is not allowed anywhere on TalkBass and may be deleted with or without notice. Threads soliciting donations (for charity) are not allowed in the general forums; Donation solicitations are not to be sent via PM, or TalkBass email. If you have a charity to promote, please contact us. Solicitations for donations or appeals at sites such as gofundme or kickstarter is not allowed anywhere on TalkBass under any circumstances.
Links to personal/professional websites: To avoid the appearance of "redirect spam", linked content (i.e. - mp3 files, PDF or image files, lesson/educational material, etc.) to a personal/professional website must be linked directly to the content rather than to a web page containing the content plus other website information such as links and menu redirects. In other words, when linking to an external site for educational purposes, the only place site information should be visible is in the address bar.
Users who post solely to promote YouTube videos or other self-generated content, while otherwise not interacting or conversing with the community, will be considered spammers.
Users who have a video series of free content may post about it, but the posting should be limited to a single thread rather than multiple threads announcing each new video.
Rule #8: Represent yourself truthfully. Please be honest when representing yourself on TalkBass.com. Using two or more user accounts concurrently is prohibited. Registering duplicate accounts to circumvent a ban is prohibited and will result in a permanent ban of all accounts. If you receive remuneration (financially or in kind) from a company and post as a shill, or register a duplicate username to act as a shill, the entire posting history of both accounts will be wiped from TalkBass, and the action will be made public. TalkBass.com reserves the right to check internet IP addresses for verification.
Rule #9: Endorsed Artist / Remuneration Disclosure If you are an artist who endorses a music-related company, or if you receive remuneration (financially or in-kind) as the result of a relationship you have with a company, please disclose this via the "Disclosures" field in your profile. The text should be plain and clear, with no disclaimers, hype etc. For example: "Endorsing Artist: Joe Doe Basses" or "Affiliated with JD Amps" or "Discounted Gear: JD Amps", etc.
Also, please preface any relevant gear reviews on product you're affiliated with, with a brief disclosure in the post itself.
The purpose of these disclosures is to provide those who read your posts with the full knowledge of your situation, when considering your opinions on gear. We recognize the fact that in some circumstances a minor discount or other "non-endorsing" remuneration may be too insignificant to consider for disclosure. We trust that as honest bass players you'll use your best judgment and moral guide to determine if your fellow members would benefit from the disclosure of this information. TalkBass reserves the right to require disclosure if the remuneration is deemed significant.
In addition, TalkBass reserves the right at any time to decide that an endorsers posting history has moved them from 'happy endorser' to 'free advertising mouthpiece'. From that point forward, until further notice is provided to the contrary, the endorser shall be considered to be a full Commercial User for purposes of discussion of the gear in question. All future posts must then be made in accordance with the Commercial User Policy (CUP)
Rule #10: No Trolling Any member that posts in a trolling manner will not be tolerated. Trolling is defined as making inflammatory posts simply to get people riled up, while lacking in substance pertaining to the thread topic. Moderator discretion applies.
Rule #11: Do not post copyrighted material This should go without saying. If we have to take down copyrighted material more than twice in a 3-year period, your account will be terminated and IP blocked.
***Commercial User Policy ("CUP")***
As a commercial user utilizing the free public forums of TalkBass, please make every effort to follow these guidelines, in order to keep our forums unbiased and free of commercial motives, spam, and the appearance of such.
Definitions:
Commercial User:
Any registered TalkBass member who:
A) Owns or operates a music-related business.
B) Is an employee or on the payroll of a music-related business (including educational institutions)
C) Produces and sells music related merchandise or services (including lessons).
You are NOT considered a commercial user if you are not described by points A and B above, and ALL of the following are true:
- You do not operate or advertise a commercial website
- You do not operate or advertise a physical storefront
- You do not individually produce or sell music-related products under a brand name or hold a business license
User-Title Disclosure:
You must fully disclose your affiliation via the "Disclosures" field located on your account's Personal Details page. This is a single line that will appear below your username on all of your posts.
Forum Participation Guildelines and Restrictions:
1) Commercial users must always post in a responsive manner with regards to any product or service they (or any business entity with which they have a current and direct relationship with) sell/manufacture/represent. (Hereafter referred to as "Product" and "Services"). Meaning, discussion contributed on the topic of Products & Services by the commercial user, must be limited to responses to specific, objective questions from TalkBass members, or to corrections of misinformation.
NON-Acceptable Posting Behavior:
Commercial users may not...
-- Create new threads about Product/Services
-- Post material referencing Product/Services in general question threads, such as "What is a good bass for me?"
-- Post material referencing Product/Services in general "what's new at..." threads
-- Comment on the products/services/character of competition (unless it is praise or recommendation). Doing so presents conflict-of-interest issues.
-- Post "generic" conversational non-answer posts regarding Product/Services that: praise Product; expand on Product features; are a self 'pat on the back'; are deemed to be part of a pattern of thread-bumping; otherwise contribute additional unsolicited Product information.
-- Post unsolicited photos of Product in the public forums, or submit promotional material (such as, but not limited to, press release text or promotional flyers) in the public forums (email PR to [email protected])
-- Post pricing information and other sales dialogue (must be confined to private conversations with TB users (PM or email)).
Acceptable Posting Behavior:
-- "Commercial users may post an answer to direct, objective questions asked about Product or Services. The question you're answering must be directly quoted in your response."
-- Commercial users may post corrections of misinformation
-- Commercial users may post reasonable generic conversational-type posts, except when noted below under "Non-Acceptable Posting"
-- Commercial users may post freely in threads not about their own Product/Services, except when noted below
2) Commercial Users who operate as dealers of used equipment, where buying/selling is purely for profit, cannot use the TalkBass Classifieds to advertise items for sale and must instead purchase a subscription to the TalkBass Bazaar. There are no exceptions to this.
Commercial Users who are owners / employees of musical equipment manufacturers / distributors / retailers may not use the TalkBass Classifieds to advertise items for sale, unless prior permission is granted when one of the following is true:
1. You are a manufacturer of musical equipment, and the item in question is not made by your company or a subsidiary. For example, you work for Fender and are selling a Lakland bass.
2. You are a distributor / retailer of goods, and the item in question is not one your company / division usually handles. For example, you work for Guitar Center and are selling an early 80s Aria bass.
An occasional exception to this may be made for individual users (as long as permission is sought before posting in the classifieds, as stated below). For example, you work for a store that sells Fenders, but wish to sell a used Fender instrument personally owned by yourself, on a one-off basis.
These are guideline rules, and not a blanket authorization. Any Commercial User, or any member with a commercial affiliation in their profile disclosure field, must request prior permission for any thread they may wish to start from time to time in the Classifieds section, before posting. These requests will be dealt with on a case by case basis, and any Classifieds thread started by members in the Commercial User category without such permission may be deleted without notice.
To request permission, please contact TalkBass.
3) Please be honest when representing yourself on TalkBass.com. Using two or more user accounts concurrently is prohibited. If you operate duplicate user accounts on TalkBass and post as a shill, or post in a manner that hides your commercial affiliation, the entire posting history of all your accounts will be wiped from TalkBass, and the action will be made public. TalkBass.com reserves the right to check/verify all incoming internet IP addresses for verification.

--Commercial users may include a single link to their business in their signature. If the business is a storefront, a Supporting Membership is required post the single link. This link must be non-formatted (not bold, colored, or enlarged). Sales information, product advertisments, pricing information, or other 'sales pitch' is not allowed in signatures.
Exceptions
--Threads may be created in order to solicit user input and opinions regarding a product in development. Any abuse of this exception will not be tolerated.
--Users may include information and links which promote the sale ofl sound recordings in their profile signature.
--Luthiers/builders may post "build tutorial" threads in the Luthier's Corner forums. The luthier must limit each thread to a single build, from start to finish, and provide a detailed, multi-step tutorial of the build progress (more than wood shots and complete basses). The TalkBass " Builder's Showcase" forum is available for luthiers who simply want to post latest build pics, progress pics, and pricing information (Commercial Sales License required).
