the scoop

i'm getting intense, not talking nonsense
i made up my mind, not sitting on the fence
i don't always know the right from the wrong
i do my best to figure it out and work it out in the long
i try to do a lot, more than i can chew
balance out my ambitions, what i've got to do

DIY -- that means do it yourself
i don't sit around waiting for someone's help
i don't sit back and say good enough
keep on striving, reinventing, keeping it off the cuff

-- Mike D (Beastie Boys) 1994

the hero

So you feel that you ain't nobody
Always needed to be somebody
Put your feet on the ground
Put your hand on your heart
Lift your head to the stars
And the world's for your taking

So you feel it's the end of the story
Find it all pretty satisfactory
Well I tell you, my friend
This might seem like the end
But the continuation
Is yours for the making

-- Brian May (Queen) 1981
