Lou Reed - “Teach The Gifted Children”
Teach the gifted children
teach them to have mercy
Teach them about sunsets
teach them about moonrise
Teach them about anger
the sin that comes with dawning
Teach them about flowers
and the beauty of forgetfulness
Then take me to the river (take me to the river)
and put me in the water (and put me in the water)
Bless them and forgive them (take me to the river)
father cause they just don’t know (take me to the river)
All the gifted children
Teach the gifted children
the way of men and animals
Teach them about cities
the history of the mysteries
Their vice and their virtues
about branches that blow in the wind
On the wages of their sins
teach them of forgiveness
teach them about mercy
Teach them about music
and the cool and cleansing waters
What do they say, take me to the river (take me to the river)
take me to the river (take me to the river)
Put me in the water (take me to the river)
and teach the gifted children (take me to the river)
All the gifted children (take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
Thus ends the debate as to whether the Cash version merits the accolades it has received on a practically universal level.

It’s a sign of the times that a reputable economist, Dean Baker, can use the word “corruption” in the headline of an article describing two major trade deals under negotiation and no one bats an eye.

Problems with being a male
Having emotions is seen as weaknessAdmitting weakness is seen as an even greater weaknessBeing called a sexual deviant or a pervert because you were expressing your sexualityA girl beating you in any physical competition makes you inferiorBeing superficial makes you a pig but a woman being superficial is fineMakeup isn’t even an optionNot living up to the insanely unrealistic ideal of manhood automatically makes you gayBeing gay is seen as weakYou can’t control the size of your “manhood”You can’t report sexual assaults because being a male victim is worse than being the rapistNo male specific support groups or movementsUnequal parental rightsExtreme feminists treating you less than humanWomen can blame all men or say they are all the same but if a man blames women they’re sexist pigsPeople dismissing your problems automatically because the universe is obviously rigged in your favour in every scenario imaginableNo one will read this past the title
Bitches.
