	Story Behind the Song The motivation should be obvious. Actually written well before 9-11 and the current Bushwhacked drive for war. Lyrics I've got a dEVICE It could kill someone Time to settle a score That's what I use it for Babies have no concept of "the enemy" Enculturation brings that to reality Religions are the dominating fallacy Welcome to the pathetic world of difference Classification, stratification, the difference between "us" and "them" "If you're not one of us then I can kill you on a whim" Mankind has a god complex, that's why we invented him Pursue him, perpetuate him, defend him Anticipation of paradise on some other plain "This existence is meant to be marred by sadness and pain How can I see value in my life in such a place? How can I see value in yours?" I've got a dEVICE It could kill someone Time to settle a score That's what I use it for I've got something I can point at you Something that can force you to my point of view A fountain pen, a penis, a missile, a gun with any of these implements I can hurt you I scurry about the mountains of Afghanistan I take opposing sides in the Holy (hole-y?) Land I walk the Vatican-Mecca-Salt Lake City streets I walk the halls of power in Washington DC I've got a dEVICE It could kill someone Time to settle a score That's what I use it for I can kill just one of you or our entire race Death under your car or raining down from space Maybe where you work, or maybe a planet laid to waste And just like you, I won't be around to learn there was no other place... I've got a dEVICE It could kill someone Time to settle a score That's what I use it for Babies have no concept of "the enemy" Enculturation brings that to reality Religions are the dominating fallacy Do we really have THE LUXURY OF DIFFERENCE? Babies have no concept of "the enemy" Enculturation brings that to reality Religions are the dominating fallacy Do we really have THE LUXURY OF DIFFERENCE? Copyright 2002 by Harold Dan Hurd.
