Eisenhower: "The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex."

Chorus:
Priority is
Priority is
Priority is
Speak Easy!

Corduroy Phoenix: Here's a good question. What are priorities?
Just another fork in the road. We cry over these.
Some gotta grow up where their mom smokes crack.
Others scratch a living in a shotgun shack.
These are priorities. Need to change mine.
Stop thinking about getting to the liquor store on time.
Will I end up getting coffee in the morning?
That shit is weaker than an eviction warning.
That's the human nature of self preservation
Fuck the rest! I'm the best in the nation.
Hope we change. More sooner than the later.
Become the revelation then we live greater.

(Chorus)

Turbo: Prior to these days, we'd say why worry me about my priorities?
Already know the end of the story see.
I used to act like I knew where hell is;
Here on earth, where everybody's selfish.
But I could not tell myself this.
The way people say "don't tread on me."
Instead I see they pull shit steadily.
Now my radical sabbatical's got me mad at the whole world.
Had I know better not to twist it while it twirled
I'd watch it spin
like the news bulletin that says
this just in.
Without priorities
you need discipline!

(Chorus)

Eisenhower: "The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists... Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly...

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research."

BRA The Goat Carcass:
People want to be me but they can't
This is my motto this is my chant.
I do what I want in an instant.
Priority is obviously going to be forever and always Speak Easy.
I wish was the truth but it's not
Try to be on point just like a dot.
If life had an artery, I'd be the clot.
I'm a wise man keep my head ahead.
Dreams of getting famous, so fucking dead!

Eisenhower: "Another factor in maintaining balance involves the element of time. As we peer into society's future, we -- you and I, and our government -- must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow...

We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow...

America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.
