And for no apparent reason, here's proof that an old
fart can still write some great lyrics, IMHO.
Who else could sing the word "Euphrates" with such
passion...
--------
Miraculous you call it babe
You ain't seen nothing yet
They got Pepsi in the Andes
They got McDonalds in Tibet
Yosemite's been turned into
a golf course For the Japs
And the Dead Sea
is alive with rap
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
There's a leisure centre now
They got all kinds of sports
They got Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
And a doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle
We got warehouses of butter
We got oceans of wine
We got famine when we need it
We got designer crime
We got Mercedes
We got Porsche, Ferrari and Rolls Royce
Yeah, we got choice
She said meet me
In the Garden of Gethsemene my dear
The Lord said, Peter I can see your house from here
An honest man
Finally reaped what he had sown
And a farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle
We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theatre
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his fucking fingers
It's a miracle

Regarding an earlier inquiry requesting why everyone's pre-ordering the new WDaDU, that I am not sure everybody responded to:
http://www.dreamtheater.net/diswdadu.htm
5000 numbered copies, numbers stamped in gold, digipak, picture disc, yadda yadda, those Ytsejammers who do not order these will be killing themselves.
Hell'a cheap on CD Now, too. List $13.98, on sale for $9.79. You'd hafta either be a mongoloid or an ex Enron employee to not buy this.

It's one of those questions, which came first, the chicken or the egg.
Well, in this case, it was definitely the egg - the music had its
beginnings long before the games started using it. When people say
that music I listen to sounds too much like video game music, it
indicates to me that they play too many video games. Not that there's
necessarily anything wrong with playing video games - I do it myself -
but when people find music in "the real world" that reminds them of a
video game, that's probably a personal issue they would want to address
at some point.
Similarly to abnds like Royal Hunt, whose music, some people would say,
sounds like soundtrack to a porn film. Why could that be? Perhaps
because a production company uses similar music in their films? Could
it be that you're watching too much porn?
No offense to anyone, and in fact I don't think I've seen people on
this list respond negatively to DT or any other music that is
reminiscent of video game soundtracks (after all, Petrucci did write a
song for that Sega Saturn game). Just a general observation that I've
made over the years - people not being able to accept music for what it
is, and linking it erroneously to certain lifestyles, hobbies, etc.

Hey everyone,
I heard some very positive feedback about Mudvayne from two people
whose musical tastes and preferences I respect very much, and was just
curious if anyone on the list gave them a serious listen. Is it
something worth checking out, or is it just another nu-metal hype in
regards to which we can safely say, "All things shall pass?"
- Ilia.
