We think it should be the lyrics from Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World.
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

If loving this t-shirt is wrong, I don't want to be right:
http://www.karatedepot.com/cl-ts-12.html

The poem is included below. I've taken the liberty of changing
"martial" to "new media."

++++++

"I am a new media artist." I see through different eyes. I see a
bigger picture when others see grey skies. Though many can't conceive
it, I stand…facing the wind. My bravery, not from fighting, but
from my strength within. I am a new media artist. I'll walk the extra
mile. Not because I have to, but because it's worth my while. I know
that I am different, when I stand on a crowded street. I know the
fullness of winning, I've tasted the cup of defeat. I am a new media
artist. They say I walk with ease. Though trained for bodily harm, my
intentions are for peace. The world may come and go, but a different
path I'll choose. A path I will not stray from, no matter, win or
lose.
-Master Karen Eden

++++++

That entire thing should be the new rhizome slogan. Just ditch
"connecting art & technology" and replace it with that poem.

Trained for Bodily Harm,
Curt
