energetic radiation

in the beginning there was precaution
in the beginning there were nuclear power plants
which came first?

in the beginning there were humans
in the beginning there were politicians
which came first?


risk was certainly analysed and evaluated, and paid for
nuclear power stations were built, and paid for

in the beginning there was no risk, precaution was exaggerated
after Japan power plants are shut
after Japan risk suddenly changed, why?
we still live on Earth, it hasn't changed that much

where are the scientist, the technicians and the politicians, paid by us
what happened to precaution?
what happened to risk?
what happened to economics, and all the money that was spent?
why are science and politics represented by diffrent words?
were we also spending precaution?

Rivers we have to cross

Many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I am lost as I travel along

The white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross and it's only my will

That keeps me alive

I've been licked, washed up for years and,

I merely survive because of my pride.

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's such a drag to be on your own

My woman left and she didn't say why

Well I guess, I gotta try.

Many rivers to cross but where to begin,

I'm playing for time

There'll be times when I find myself thinking

Of committing some dreadful crime.

I've got many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I am lost as I travel along

The white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross and it's only my will

That keeps me alive

I've been licked, washed up for years and,

I merely survive because of my pride

Dare

It's coming up

It's coming up

It's coming up

It's coming up

It's DARE

It's DARE

You got to press it on you

You just, think it,

That's what you do, baby

Hold it down, DARE

Jump with the moon and move it

Jump back and forth

It feels like you would let yourself work it out

Never did no harm

Never did no harm

It's DARE

It's coming up

It's coming up

It's coming up

It's coming up

It's coming up

It's DARE

It's DARE GORILLAZ

o belo e o verdadeiro?

prólogo de (do livro) "a espuma dos dias" de Boris Vian

"Na vida, o essencial é emitirem-se opiniões a priori, a propósito de tudo. Efectivamente, bem se vê que as massas erram e os indivíduos têm sempre razão. É forçoso que a tal respeito nos abstenhamos de deduzir regras de conduta: para serem seguidas, estas não devem ter necessidade de ser formuladas. Existem apenas duas coisas: o amor, de todas as maneiras, com raparigas belas, e a música de Nova Orleães ou Duke Elllington. O resto deveria desaparecer, porque o resto é feio, e as poucas páginas de demonstração que se seguem vão buscar toda a força ao facto de a história ser inteiramente verdadeira, já que a imaginei de uma ponta à outra. A sua realização material, propriamente dita, consiste de uma forma essencial na projecção da realidade, em atmosfera rebatida e aquecida, sobre um plano de referência irregularmente ondulado e apresentando distorção. Como se vê, um processo confessável, a havê-los.
