Cult, by Edwin Starr

[mnaz]

Cult! uh huh uh.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Cult! huh, good god.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.

Oh cult I despise,
hatred in our eyes,
born of infinite lies, I
say cult! huh good god,
what is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.

Oh cult it destroys
the logic of our boys.
We squabble to rubble
and rub ourselves raw, so
Cult! ... what is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.

War, religion, cults, truth, lies, politics and other plagues, not necessarily in that order, or something like that.

I believe than most folks want something more than the day to day drudgery of just trying to keep your head above water or be washed away in a flood of dissatisfaction with your life....so what is that More ?.....humans seem to be seekers, looking for meaning to this nuttiness, their lives....and so cults, religion and even gangs tend to serve that purpose of not accepting the nine to five as all there is....but yowser there a million rabbit holes one can fall into...some harmless, some harmful, and many just a waste of time ( but to be fair...Their time to waste )

I think Edwin Starr would like your reinvention ....

and then there is THIS.....

Kind of a reach I guess. Came to mind when ruminating on the current state of our politics. (Current only?? where have I been?!...) I mean, the cult of right, cult of left. The fatally? dualistic, binary Power/No Power Win/Loss ethos/dynamic that seems to be the only driving force at this point, with all truth shaped toward that end...

And that vid. Pretty much sums up the "mob." Bless their hearts...
