Can't you hear the war cry?
It's time to enlist
The people speak as one
The cattle, the crowd
Those too afraid to live
Demand a sacrifice
A sacrifice
Cant you smell their stinking breath
Listen to them
Wheezing and gasping and
Chanting their slogans
The grave diggers song
Demand a sacrifice
A sacrifice
Can't you smeel the fresh blood
Steaming into the soil
As our patriots
Fathers and mothers and lovers
Admire the military style
Praising God and the state
Crying tears of pride
For the sons and lovers
For all the fools slaughtered
For the maimed, the dying
And the dead
So the nation will live
So the people will remain as cattle
Demand a sacrifice
A sacrifice.

Emailed em twice; they never got back to me. I was in the biz (tv, stage, film, etc.) in Paris, and I know how these things go, but maybe there's a better way of contacting them. What are you doing with them?

my brother and his Japanese wife live in Tokyo. it was my first time there. Japan is an amazing place. it's just like "Lost in Translation." that movie captures all the subtleties and nuances of that place. it's really surreal at moments. i want to go back there, hopefully to dj.
