I love all of their music but this album is particularly good imo. It's great they involve so much other musical talent in their projects as well.

One Of Us Is Dead

I saw a boy's t-shirt today, it said, "one of us is dead"
He just looked me in the eyes and cried.

I saw a newspaper today, it read one of us is dead
an old man looked me in the eyes and smiled.

Maybe I'm the one who's already gone
cold in the ground, or fast asleep tonight.

Some days I don't know if I've grown too cold, grown too old and left
without saying goodbye...goodbye.

I want a president that can turn guns into steam, the bullets into mercury, and poisonous oil into god-damned snowflakes.

and the average American's inability to change their lifestyle, has led us to this. We're about to get another hard lesson in our interconnection to nature and each other.

This reminds me of a quote from the film

"The Great Dictator"

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

- Charlie Chaplin

and it spreads from one person to another through touch," - Dacher Keltner, a UC Berkeley psychologist

I believe this speaks to our interconnected nature. We are not independent but dependent on each other and that being kind is literally good for us and helps facilitate our connections with one another.
