	Story Behind the Song this is the demo version, in which the line about slams is left in. the track is by a cat at www.theblackkitchen.com - or www.mp3.com/yourbeats - the music fits Perfectly with the verse. we'll see what my producer comes up with for the album version. some of my friends call it the "anti-slam song", but i .. laughingly... say it's not... the line that causes this controversy is "i dont want to where everyone goes ..to the slam and insult each others ability to create beauty". actually i Love slams, i just tbelieve there is more than one way to do a poetry performance, and that a lot of the slams i've been to have been done incorrectly. Lyrics cattle move in herds we cram into streets racing each other to every red light of our lives everyone wants to be the one standing at the top of the pile of crumbs king of all the slaves my scars are prettier than yours my clothes are a little less torn we cram onto subways fighting to be the ones to sit en masse instead of stand in the train's car during a 15 minute commute to boredom or misery in exchange for the harvest of our able bodies and minds oh, the honor of being paid the most to be able to boast that all day you can coast and trip on the internet or place a house sized casino site bet cattle move in herds we are so proud to be promoted to HNIC where we can preen on our towers of shame and claim that we are now permitted to spend another 10% of our time now equally a full 40% of our lives making some unseen entity richer so mockingly we ridicule those who would step out of this tune and march to a drummer that will bring them less money and more freedom we are so proud to wonder what kind of fool wants to work for themselves when with a little mis-education you can be a wage slave or maybe one day an overseer we are so proud to be fools although we know in our hearts that cattle moves in herds. i dont want to go where everyone goes on weekends into clubs letting someone i have never met rub his groin on me i dont want to go where everyone goes to the slam and insult each other's ability to create beauty and compete in the American way saying oh, he is better than she, them are better than we i dont want to go where everyone goes to work a second job at night when i can work for me instead for an us for the people i dont want to go where everyone goes cattle move in herds humans were not meant to we are each a miracle of creation created to manifest more when did we get caught up in the mean machine living only for green money which gets mis-spent by someone used to survival alone money which is not saved for retirement and leaves us eating dog food to die alone money which has no value in the spiritual realm cuz when you leave your fate is to go alone. cattle move in herds not knowing they are being led to slaughter.
