so what if this is just another lyrics?

to be honest, i really don't care...


"I've Seen It All"

I've seen it all, I have seen the trees,
I've seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
I've seen a man killed by his best friend,
And lives that were over before they were spent.
I've seen what I was - I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru!
I'm happy to say I had better to do
What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall!

And the man/woman you will marry?
The home you will share?
To be honest, I really don't care...

You've never been to Niagara Falls?
I have seen water, its water, that's all...
The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State?
My pulse was as high on my very first date!
Your grandson's hand as he plays with your hair?
To be honest, I really don't care...

I've seen it all, I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark.
I've seen what I chose and I've seen what I need,
And that is enough, to want more would be greed.
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

You've seen it all and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark, the big and the small
Just keep in mind - you need no more at all
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all - there is no more to see!

I'M MY OWN GRANDPA
by: Lonzo & Oscar

Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed.

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life,
For my daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.

I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

My father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,
And he became my grandchild, coz he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,
Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,
And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

"A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he/she incurred the disorder. This disease, like ‘caries’ and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient."

what were they thinking?...

There will be a new attraction in the National Monument (Monas). A Las Vegas Bellagio-like water fountain is scheduled to operate in the west part of the park on July 18. Sure, it will be a beautiful sight to see amidst the frantic city of Jakarta, but what exactly were they thinking when they planned to build this US$ 2.7 million (that’s Rp 26 billion) project? Surely not about the 8,455 children reported to have malnourishment in the city... The 45 meters in width and 80 meters in length fountain will feature 10 choreographed dances performed by jets of water alongside 14 song titles including; Jali-jali, Serasa, and Le Toreadors. But who do you think gonna sing along to those songs, those homeless persons around the park?... The fountain will need a total power of 1,660 kilo volt ampere (KVA) to power the laser lights to create various visual effects unto the water screen, and the National Electricity Company (PLN) told us to save electricity powers... The irony…
Again, my question is; what the fuck were they thinking?...
Is this about improving the image of Jakarta? I am sorry, but you can not change an image without changing the reality. You can put on tons of make up, but in the end of the day you will still be you. In this case Jakarta will still be the “over populated, flooded every time it rains, 24 hours traffic jam, hot and humid” Jakarta, and don’t forget about the 8,455 malnourished children…
US$ 2.7 million is not a small amount of money, especially when it goes to a fountain, even for a Las Vegas Bellagio-like water fountain. Imagine if we can use the money to fund a project to eradicate the malnourishment problem or to fund a project for public transportations enhancement (the 2nd phase of busway project is halted due to the lack of funding), a project to rejuvenate the old city area for tourism, a project for the education of street kids, a project for public health improvement, a project for the city flood response scheme, I can go on, but I think you’ve already got the picture.
I am not against the idea of making Jakarta a more beautiful city, but there are priorities. What should be done first and what could be done in another time. And in my humble opinion there are more important things to be done than building a Las Vegas Bellagio-like water fountain that cost US$ 2.7 million.
I could be wrong, but my question remains; what the fuck were they thinking?...
