70年代的音乐今天听来仍然力量十足，列侬的无奈，greenday的呐喊，是否能让你暂时告别麻木，回头想想自己的20年吧，我们的一生都是这样也即将这样度过，就像玩偶任人摆布，表演，生活在别人眼中，你是否已从长辈，朋友身上和电视剧里看到了将来老掉的自己，父母，学校，政府他们流水线式的制造出一个个我们，20年后销往社会，忙碌，奔波，被利益集团榨干剩余价值，死去，一切继续…
但我们不是产品，我们有血有肉还有爱，用自己的大脑思考，用自己的方式选择，按自己的步调来生活，自由的呼吸，行走和说话。我们要做的不是工人阶级英雄而是自己的主人。
as soon as you’re born they make you feel small
by giving you no time instead of it all
till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
they hurt you at home and they hit you at school
they hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool
till you’re so crazy you can’t follow their rules
when they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
then they expect you to pick a career
when you can’t really function you’re so full of fear
keep you doped with religion and sex and tv
and you think you’re so clever and classless and free
but you’re still peasants as far as i can see
there’s room at the top they are telling you still
but first you must learn how to smile as you kill
if you want to be like the folks on the hill
if you want to be a hero well just follow me
