THE LAST ILLUSION
"Well, I'm an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call the last illusion. THE LAST ILLUSION IS THAT SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON"
(pareceu-me apropriado ao espírito dos tempos recuperar e sublinhar esta observação de Brian Eno e acrescentar-lhe algum material de apoio)
William Burroughs - "What Keeps Mankind Alive" (Brecht/Weill)
Tom Waits - "God's Away On Business"
I'd sell your heart to the junkman baby
For a buck, for a buck
If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch
You're out of luck, you're out of luck
Ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick
It's a job, it's a job
Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It's all over, it's all over
It's all over
There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away on business, business
Godddamn there's always such a big temptation
To be good, to be good
There's always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby
It's a deal, it's a deal
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
Let her ring, let her ring
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
(2008)

As 2 melhores músicas/videos de sempre.
engraçado que menciones isso hoje. tenho falado bastante com um gajo que é novo, é fixolas e acredita piamente em deus. tipo, sem merdas, acredita porque é assim. não duvida do pecado, não desconfia da recompensa de quem sofre. ainda nem tive coragem de lhe perguntar a sério pela coisa porque temo a sinceramente a resposta. mas, se bem me conheço, não devo resistir muito tempo.
"mas, se bem me conheço, não devo resistir muito tempo"
Mas, então, centra a conversa no ponto mais divertido da afirmação do Eno: "THE LAST ILLUSION IS THAT SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON".
Seja esse "someone" eu, tu, o velho das barbas ou o Banco Central Europeu.
