Death, Glory, & Sanctity of Human Life

First this: Happy National Sanctity of Human Life Day

We now return to our regularly scheduled cynicism...

The Clash sez:

Every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
Love ‘n hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
The hands that slap his kids around ‘cause they don’t understand how

Death or glory becomes just another story

Every gimmick-hungry yob digging gold from rock ‘n roll
Grabs the mike to tell us he’ll die before he’s sold
But I believe in this and it’s been tested by research
That he who fucks nuns will later join the church

Death or glory becomes just another story

From every dingy basement on every dingy street
I hear every dragging handclap over every dragging beat
That’s just the beat of time; the beat that must go on
If you been trying for years, then we already heard your song

Death or glory becomes just another story

(Strummer/Jones)

So...what are YOU listening to?

(Here’s a skateboarding video I found for this song)
