A tribute to all Canadian DUers but especially Yivvers.

[Jara sang]

There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance,
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance.

A planet of playthings,
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
"The stars aren't aligned,
Or the gods are malign..."
Blame is better to give than receive.

Chorus
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand,
The cards were stacked against them; they weren't born in Lotusland.

All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate.
Kicked in the face,
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate.

Chorus

Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete.
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet.

1. Rush?

um...thanks for the insult

[Jara sang]

2. What you don't like RUSH?

O.K. insert your favorite Canadian band here(__________)

[MrPrax]

4. RUSH is a little too...

pretentious and their rightwing Randian inspired goofball songs are way too much to be taken seriously regardless of how good the bassist might be..

And I normally don't really check artists' passports to see what country they come from--probably a conscious reaction to the stupidity of Canada's CANCON rules and restrictions.

3. Geddy Lee can fucking wail on that bass
