adler (Christopher A Adler):
It started in a backwater Senior House dorm, on the fringes
of a small galaxy called the Milky Way. One man. One man, with
the courage to take on the Institute, the State, the
Country, The Galaxy, the will power to rival inanimate objects,
and the strength to rule all in his path. He built his empire
on ruthless domination, on merciless and iron-fisted rule.
He conquered, one by one, every planet in the Galaxy. His
reign was glorious; he had unified the Milky Way.
Chris. They chanted his name. Chris. CHRIS. They wrote his
name with fingers and tendrils and tenticles, on the sandy
beaches of ten billion conquered worlds!
Chris! THE UNIVERSE WAS HIS!

dschmidt (Dan Schmidt):
Lots of people here today
More of them across the way
Each one has something to say
A few of them know who I am
The other ones don't give a damn
For all they know my name is Sam
And I wonder why this building hasn't fallen to the ground
And I think that when it does that I'll be there
And I wonder how long it will be before my body's found
I doubt the crowd will care
The curious ones will stare
No one knows the things I know
Why I'm happy, why I'm low
Why I'm leaving when I go
And I don't know the folks I see
They all have a history
They mean them when they say "me"
And I look at all the passersby who pass me on the street
And I don't think I'll see half of them again
And I smile at a pretty girl and she looks at her feet
She used to be ten
What was she like then?
Nobody knows everyone but I would like to try
I've got time to meet a few billion more people before I die
There's someone who I haven't met who might be my best friend
If he lived here in Cambridge and not in the South End
Did you know that person just got engaged?
Did you know that person just got fired?
Did you know that person just missed her bus?
Did you know that person thinks you're cute?
And I think of all the people who are thinking about me
And I don't think they will think that way for long
But I might as well try to affect the people that I see
That's why I wrote this song
I hope that I'm not wrong

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
Our written history is a catalogue of crime
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as it's child
