[Eddie Mars (OP)]

50, 60, 80, 100, ... years ago, people who were in the know kept silence.

Now, there are no secrets,

everyone aims for money, getting recognition or both.

As the saying goes
"Give someone enough rope and that one will hang himself or herself."

Alanis Morissette - Ironic (Official 4K Music Video)

[Intro]
Hey, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah, hey

[Verse 1]
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

[Verse 2]
Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down
He thought, "Well, isn't this nice?"

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

[Bridge]
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face

[Verse 3]
A traffic jam when you're already late
A "No Smoking" sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
A little too ironic
And yeah, I really do think

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

[Outro]
And yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

The irony about that song is that Americans famously do not understand irony... and she's Canadian.

 The way one rules over people is to leave them free (alone).

 None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free.

If voting made a difference, they wouldn't let us do it.

It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

If voting made a difference, they wouldn't let us do it.

The ones who tell you that don't want you to vote.

[Eddie Mars (OP)]

Sometimes:

- you have to mildly scare people, so they go and vote en masse;

or

- you rely on the hardcore partisanship: a hard core against a hard core.

Jeanette - Porque te vas

[Eddie Mars (OP)]

Robbie Williams - Supreme

Oh it seemed forever stopped today
All the lonely hearts in London
Caught a plane and flew away
And all the best women are married
All the handsome men are gay
You feel deprived

Yeah are you questioning your size?
Is there a tumour in your humour?
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you leave dents where you sit
Are you getting on a bit?
Will you survive
You must survive

When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme

Oh what are you really looking for?
Another partner in your life to
abuse and to adore?
Is it lovey dovey stuff
Do you need a bit of rough?
Get on your knees

Yeah turn down the love songs that you hear
'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment
That echoes in your ear
Saying love will stop the pain
Saying love will kill the fear
Do you believe
You must believe

When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme

I spy with my little eye
Something beginning with (ah)
Got my back up
And now she's screaming
So I've got to turn the track up
Sit back and watch the royalties stack up
I know this girl she likes to switch teams
And I'm a fiend but I'm living for a love supreme

When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme

Come and live a love supreme
Don't let it get you down
Everybody lives for love

This song contains parts of two other songs, "Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive" and "Francois de Roubaix - Dernier Domicile Connu" but it's still great!
