Above Majestic - movie review



ABOVE MAJESTIC











We found out the truth,
some of you so-called gangsters bleed blue,
and between me and you, these reptilian dudes
who walk among us are frightening, #MeToo,

it's too late to stop the cypher,
full disclosure, woke 'em up and got 'em hyper,
whether an alien race or ungodly vipers,
"They Live," props to Roddy Roddy piper,

your government sold you out,
"take me to your leader" meant hedging on a gold drought,
they know better than to bet against the house, and
even when they lose, they won't recollect the amount,

word to the fucking Pentagon,
calling all retards like a fucking telethon,
read the writing on the wall, if you're spelling strong,
tell the whole world, let's expel 'em back to hell and gone.

TRAPPED

Confined by what I defined,
unrefined was sweeter, I'm the keeper of my kind,
now my mind is building a case against me,
with chains and bars and cement to fence me,
in my defense, I tried to plead ignorance,
but true intelligence applies due diligence
and when I quit my goals and aspirations,
brief respites became lasting vacations,
supplemented with porn and play stations,
infinite sidetracks poured with libations,
keeping my mind racked with anything but answers,
sapped by addiction to impending disaster,
betting on red with spins that just missed,
incurring debt to the bank of "what if's,"
brick by brick and stack by stack
of excuses, curtailed and backed by "math,"

trapped...

by my own design,
this is everyone else's fault but mine,
mom's, dad's, the law's, the divine's,
the only fatal flaw being time...
how much longer do I have,
to keep lamenting about the past,
to keep resenting and plodding this path,
to keep on fencing in the wrath?
Knee-deep in pain and treading morass,
dispensing stones from behind the glass,
drinking in fury, filling the flask,
killing canaries while wearing the mask,
HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST?

I ask...

until I let the past stay passed,
burn that cast in a fiery blast,
and let my phoenix rise from the ash.

2. The Future Now (oh yes they did)



The Meglos finally did it,
their plots and plans,
turned politics into a business,
that only their close friends and family ran.

Law was no longer sought,
as a means for proving the truth,
verdicts were now bought,
by a handful of rich dudes.

The Ceez we were told,
knew the most about creating wealth,
but these CEOs,
didn’t mind destroying everybody else,

as long as profits were made,
and their boots retained loyalty,
but everyone was for sale,
so they were the best paid employees.

The Help covered up indiscretions,
sex scandals and wars,
drug running, fixed elections, and
experimenting on our fellow life forms.

Why not? They had the right.
They were the right, we were just civils,
We couldn’t stomach conflict or fights,
or protests or all night vigils.

Live and let live dudes,
we just wanted to do our thing,
but they did too,
except as kings and queens.

So eventually we let them,
how bad could that be?
Taxes pay for our protection,
trolling the world makes ‘em happy.

3. Yes We Can (obey)



Welcome all Civils, ladies and gentlemen, and of course my fellow right. It’s me, your favorite hegemon and leader, Jonathan Hothschild. On this 100 year anniversary of the Civil Acts Right. Let us celebrate diversity and victory over poverty, sickness and crime…

Thank you for the trust,
you placed in us, we’re forever grateful,
for the honor of allowing our club,
to control the planetary bankroll,

to show my appreciation,
I’ve written an official decree,
I’m down with legalization,
so from now on, your T will be free,

just like health-care and commodities,
everyone should get what they want,
and so long as you’re honest with me,
thou shalt not have not,

whatever I can do,
whatever you should need,
this I promise to you,
this I guarantee:

as long as you work with me, I’ll work with you,
follow the rules and respect the help,
and when it hurts to be free, check your view,
elect me again, and I’ll protect your wealth,

but I need your promise,
that you still trust our ways,
your needs will be honored,
can you just obey?

“Yes We Can!” (x8)

Thank you, free T for everyone! Smoke it, eat it, vape it… let’s party everybody!

Whatever the consequences, stay with me,
no matter what common sense says, stay with me,
I’m the one you like, the best that money can buy,
so keep spending, I’ll keep lending,
until you’re all mine… you’re mine, you’re mine…

4. Wear a Mask (do us a favor)



Better not tell it on the mountain, un-
less you wanna see your brains spraying like a fountain.
On this pie, if you point out a
lie, or even ask why, you might die,

in a variety of methods, de-
pending upon how many heads you infected.
If it’s just your fam, maybe catch a glance,
you’ll still have to catch a cabulance,

and if you’re not back to your cabin fast,
they’ll raid your stash and put bugs in your
plants, your pants and your grandpa’s flask,
do it again, catch a couple in the ask,

and if your texting or questions are blessing the
airwaves, then you’re testing their pa-
tience. They get a little annoyed at
what they deem “unnecessary changes,”

like raising minimum wages.
What happens here stays here like Las Ve…[CENSORED]
Chill kid. Take a mask, you should try it.
‘Why’s that?’ So you don’t get “suicided.”

Tellers don’t last long,
they get Ceez’d…another sad song.
Become copyrighted talent,
then they make money off your ice-boxed ballad.

A kid I knew, who worked the local
views, caught a cool chance to report the
news, but a troll in charge wanted him to dis-
tort the truth, so he ignored the Roof.

He derped the perps and explored the proof,
the clerks were in thirst, so he poured the juice,
but corps couldn’t ignore this dude. They
stabbed him with his own tablet in the storage room.

There’s more to this than doom, but you
might consider a mask when you record a tune,
at least if your life’s worth more to you,
cause there’s a lot more they can afford to do,

like put your mother in a petting zoo,
make your little brother service Jesibooz,
take your newborn daughter too, and
offer her to their gods in some devil’s stew.

Ewww…that’s awful,
but oft times, it’s what you get for being lawful,
makes me depressed like a waffle,
I end up smoking T by the cropful.

The Ceez got that right.
Wanna turn people to zeeps? Keep ‘em mad high.
You’ll do your job, you’ll act nice, you’ll
respect the law: the Civil Acts Right.*

Then they respect the civils, so
vap a dab a day, take a break and keep it simple,
no stress, no pimples.
Just wear a mask, and don’t blow the whistle.

What you think you are, a referee?
Better not do that shit standing next to me!
They don’t see any difference between us,
We’ll be on freeze ‘til the next polar zenith…

alotta winter, and that’s not a winner,
I’m spoiled, I gotta have a hot dinner,
I’m annoyed with long johns and sweaters, and
no way in Hoth I’m eating Ton-Ton innards.

Look, we can be friends, but get this,
it’s gonna have to be from a distance,
stop popping off on other people’s business,
or at least wear this…

* excerpt from Hoth bill of Rights
“Inter-Planetary Shared Morals” [IPSM]



The Civil Act Right [CAR],

“The Civil Act Right, and the right act civil.”
(leading to the common phrases: ‘cardom’ or ‘cardumb’)

Historically, this phrased was defined as a balance of power and morals between different cultures. Two major belief systems evolved:
“The Civil” respected all life (the deontological)
“The Right” respected the right, (the teleological )
and because the difference became so apparent, the two ways of life had to compromise and create a law that would work for both.

Initially, the phrasing was to protect all life, but throughout time, the Right began to redefine words in their own way, because they could, and soon the definition of the Civil Act Right became a form of control, “if the civils act right, the right acts civil” (meaning, as long as the rest of you act how we want you to, we won’t infringe upon your rights) justifying their utilitarianism by warping the law to suit their usual desire: more. Soon, it’s very clear to the planet’s population that the Right just want more, and The Civils want love.

Solution: they ended up treating more like a sickness and cured it.
Prescription: the entire planet took high quality eMpathy at the same time (it’s like high quality Exstacy on Earth), and they all had the realization they were brothers and sisters of the same family, so they always worked out their problems with love forever after.



The Human Equality Act Dialogue [HEAD]

During increasing partisanship between the Civils and the Right, it became more obvious that the Right considered their existence to be of greater significance and proof of being more right than the rest of the people on the planet. Their logic dictated they were more valuable and thus deserved more money, more power and more control. Their time was worth more than anyone else’s. The Civils proved that one human’s time is no greater than another’s. From that point on, HEAD became the right to barter on an even playing field. All humans had the right to speak to one another on even terms, and that meant the Right had to allow their leaders access to any other Civil in a public forum or private. The meetings made progress after the Right began to empathize with the Civils.

5. If This Ain't Love feat. Erin Stitzel



[intro]
Wow…who is she? (screen noises)
Anonymous88888888. Ok,
How old? How many partners?
How many pregnancies? Sexual preferences?
Ahhh…

I looked at her profile, she looked up mine,
emoticon smile, I took that as a good sign,
she looked like a good time, I’m gonna have to find out.
I checked her schedule…nice, she’s open for try outs.

“You look beautiful 8’s” (beep) message sent,
and with the wind change, I catch her scent.
I watch her read it, I see her blush,
then she’s asking me if, I got time for teaming up.

We gotta be discreet, we can’t be on this street,
in case an intern’s watching, and he adds us to his sheet.
She says her place is safe, what do we want to eat?
I say I’d rather wait, until after the meet and greet.

I bopped to her house first, I wait inside,
I got familiar, even though I wouldn’t learn her name tonight.
She walked in with her mask on, I still had mine,
we could take them off, hidden for the last time,

or just leave them be, in case I’m the wrong guy,
keep our secrecy, you’ll never be sure, it was her from online.
Love can be anonymous, it’s not too late yet,
if this wasn’t what you wanted, let’s stop, and have safe sex.

She took all her clothes off, I did the same,
our displays showed us, what we considered pleasure and pain.
I followed instructions, I did what she liked.
She made me come quick, but only after I made her come twice.

[hook]
If this ain’t love, then what is it?
Ain’t love just, the one you get with?
If it’s love, it’s worth risking,
But hey love, it’s none of their business.

We were off to a good start, our bodies complied,
We were also off the charts, unlisted, we could still hide.
Part of me didn’t want to, she felt so good.
Will you let me flaunt you, to my friends and fam and neighborhood?

But there was still one step, that we had to get past,
Take one big breath, and then take off our masks,
Could I really trust her? I only met her last night,
Could it be just her, I hold sacred my entire life?

It’s dangerous to love, best to keep it secret
when the trollers know what’s up, they’ll see it as a weakness,
then they can play you, by taking your shine,
and all that may come true, if I make you mine.
