Old favorite of mine from my mis spent youth

 

Chicago's Lyrics - Dialogue Lyrics

Part i

 

Are you optimistic ?bout the way things are going?

No, I never ever think of it at all

 

Don?t you ever worry

When you see what?s going down?

 

No, I try to mind my business, that is, no business at all

 

When it?s time to function as a feeling human being

Will your bachelor of arts help you get by?

 

I hope to study further, a few more years or so

I also hope to keep a steady high

 

Will you try to change things

Use the power that you have, the power of a million new ideas?

 

What is this power you speak of and this need for things to change?

I always thought that everything was fine

 

Don?t you feel repression just closing in around?

No, the campus here is very, very free

 

Don?t it make you angry the way war is dragging on?

Well, I hope the president knows what he?s into, I don?t know

 

Don?t you ever see the starvation in the city where you live

All the needless hunger all the needless pain?

 

I haven?t been there lately, the country is so fine

But my neighbors don?t seem hungry ?cause they haven?t got the time

 

Thank you for the talk, you know you really eased my mind

I was troubled by the shapes of things to come

 

Well, if you had my outlook your feelings would be numb

You?d always think that everything was fine

 

Part ii

 

We can make it happen

We can change the world now

We can save the children

We can make it better

We can make it happen

We can save the children

We can make it happen

The 2 Koreas agree to naval cooperation

Compiled by Our Staff From Dispatches AP, Reuters Friday, June 4, 2004

 

 

 

SEOUL North and South Korean generals agreed Friday to stop propaganda broadcasts and take steps to avoid high-seas clashes, but made no moves to reduce troops along the world's most militarized border.

.

The agreements, announced in a joint statement after all-night talks, also made no mention of another of the toughest issues for the two sides: the international dispute over the communist North's development of nuclear weapons.

.

The two Koreas have yet to sign a peace treaty to formally end their 1950-1953 war, and Friday's agreements were part of steps taken in the past two weeks to ease their tense cold war-era standoff. Military generals from the two sides met face to face for the first time last week.

.

The generals agreed Friday to adopt a standard radio frequency and signaling system for their navies to avoid confusion that could lead to clashes at sea, and to exchange data on illegal fishing. They also decided to set up a telephone hot line.

.

The two sides will end propaganda efforts along their border by mid-August, the statement said. Loudspeaker broadcasts will stop, and large billboards will be dismantled.

.

"Both sides have agreed to jointly make efforts in order to ease military tensions and achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula," the statement said.

.

The agreements are not expected to lead to a dramatic reduction in tension because troops and weapons will not be removed. But they indicate a new flexibility in the negotiating style of North Korea, which used to discuss military matters on the peninsula only with the U.S.-led United Nations command and viewed the South Korean military as a Pentagon puppet. Only hours after the announcement, two North Korean patrol boats briefly crossed a disputed border in the Yellow Sea, South Korea said.

.

"The North Korean boats headed north at about 12:09, right after a South Korean Navy ship was mobilized," the statement said, adding that the patrol boats were pursuing Chinese fishing vessels in waters rich in prized blue crab.
