\nT<\/span>here is a highly esoteric political philosophy held by a small — but once <\/span>highly influential group of neo-Aristotelians — that appears to suggest that while ideas are immutable and pure, the reality some think underlies them is plastic and manipulable by those who know “the secret.”<\/p>\n

Of course, like so many cryptomancers, these modern day magicians had a spectacularly hard time bending reality to their preconceptions. Well… actually they had a spectacularly hard time failing<\/span> to bend reality.<\/p>\n

But you can read about that<\/span> in the funny papers.<\/p>\n

Today’s song is about a far more local<\/span> — yet seemingly simultaneously global — form of politics and war: the relationships between celebrities in love. And hate. And everything in between — although in the land of celebrity, it appears that love and hate appear to be quantum states. It’s either one or the other and nothin’ much lost in between.<\/p>\n

\nPaperback
\n<\/i><\/b>
\nEverywhere it sez you love me
\nbut ya seldom read the truth
\nBut when I look into your eyes
\nI can see who’s getting screwed<\/p>\n

Get down, baby. Get packed,<\/span>
\nget out tonight.<\/span>
\nYou’re gone, baby,<\/span>
\nthat’s right you heard me right.<\/span><\/p>\n

A secret’s not a secret
\nunless it has been told
\nour private life’s not really ours
\nuntil all the rights are sold.<\/p>\n

Get down, baby…<\/span><\/p>\n

you will get some mileage
\nfrom that small town trollop trip
\nbut the journey’s strictly one way, babe
\nand heavenward ain’t it<\/p>\n

Get down, baby…<\/span><\/p>\n

history will tell us who
\nwon the battle for the truth
\nuntil that time let’s keep the reading light
\nyour quickie paperback will do<\/p>\n

Get down, baby…<\/span>
\nget packed, get out tonight<\/span>
\nyou’re gone<\/span>
\nbaby<\/span>
\nthat’s right<\/span>
\nyou heard me right<\/span><\/p>\n
