‘Cause you know, it’s the end of history and Fukuyama was right about communism being over and capitalism having won so buy a mutual fund and a cigar because markets don’t crash anymore and computers are kind of cool ‘cause they’ve increased the GNP and my songwriting abilities by at least 3% a year plus there’s really nothing to be mad about anymore so music should sound like a Microsoft Windows 95 cloud and a rave t-shirt design reminiscent of heaven, the way angels and other debris float sonically unattached, “After you follow the rules down there, you come up here and there are none.
