Catalysts

Catalysts to say, what has never been said
To see what has never been seen
To draw, paint, sing, sculpt, dance, and act
What has never before been done

To push the envelope of creativity and language
And what's really important is
I call it the felt presence of direct experience
Which is a fancy term which just simply means
We have to stop consuming our culture
We have to stop consuming our culture
We have to create culture
Don't, don't, watch TV, don't read magazines
Don't еven listen to NPR
Creatе your own roadshow
The nexus of space and time where you are now
Is the most immediate sector of your universe
And if you're worrying about
Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton
Or somebody else then you are disempowered
You're giving it all away to icons
Icons which are maintained by an electronic media
So that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y
This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking
That, that, that is all cultural diversion
And what is real is you and your friends
And your associations, your, your highs
Your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears
And we're told, "No."
We're unimportant, we're peripheral
Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that
And then you're a player
You don't want to even play in that game
You want to reclaim your mind
And get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers
Who want to turn you into a half-baked moron
Consuming all this trash that's being manufactured
Out of the bones of a dying world
Where is that at?
Where is that at?
Where is that at?
