STYX on Mormonism??

Post by _It occurs to me . . . »

I was at the library here in Japan the other day, and found an album by STYX that I had never heard of, Brave New World. I borrowed it and listened to it yesterday on my way to work. Even though it was my first time to hear it, one of the songs just seemed to fit perfectly into the Mormon mindset, or maybe the MAD Board mindset is a better fit. What do you think. (I couldn't find a youtube link):

High Crimes & Misdemeanors (Hip-Hop-Crisy)

They want you to believe
The unbelievable
They say you should accept
The unacceptable
Forget your common sense
It isn't sensible

Good times for fools and dreamers

Watch 'em all deny
The undeniable
See how they refute
The unrefutable

They're ready to defend
The indefensible
High times for lawyer schemers

They say we must forgive
The unforgivable
They want us to respect
The unrespectable

The pious and the hip
So hypocritical
High crimes and misdemeanors

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

See how they explain
The inexplicable
Watch 'em all debate
The undebatable

Apparently a lie
Is never liable
Prime time for talk show screamers

They say we constitute
The Constitutional
With justice here for all
So justifiable
I'm tryin' not to laugh
But man it's laughable
High crimes and misdemeanors

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

And so
Today we find
They've changed their minds
They've switched their points of view

Oh what tangled webs they weave
When their beliefs ain't really
What they believe


They're trying to divide
The indivisible
Because they think we're fools
So foolable
I'm tryin' not to laugh
But man it's laughable
Boom times for Wall Street dreamers
They want you to believe
The unbelievable
They say we should accept
The unacceptable
The pious and the hip
So hypocritical
High crimes and misdemeanors

High crimes and misdemeanors
High crimes and misdemeanors

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

Bang on the money.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
