Know Your Enemy - Rage Against the Machine
Why the fuck do I have to be right all the time?
Eric Hollenbeck, the esteemed assistant professor of percussion at Colorado State University, told me today I'm not making the progress I should be. If I don't show some improvement by the semester's end, I'm out of the studio.
What the fuck am I supposed to do? I practice a lot as it is, I barely have time to eat most days, and I'm still not measuring up. Not a surprise to most of you, I'm sure, but I guess I thought I was worth something as a musician, even if not much. Nothing like your instructor telling you you're not worth his time to clear up any misunderstandings.
Yes, I know my enemies.
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me,
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission,
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite,
All of which are American dreams.
.......
Fuck me.
