Ya know, maybe I watched Robin Hood movies too many times was a child.

Modus Vivendi is a song of tension, agreements/arrangements and the perceptions buried within (implied, perceived or expressed). Held or broken, they are what they are… no true bonds, there are never allegiances that are ever truly binding in the prevalent culture… just empty agreements that represent government/business assurances that the plan, will be adhered to by ‘all’ parties for some period of time.

Agreements occur at every level in life; and at times, in order to fulfill the terms of agreements, all parties of said agreement must come to some reasonable accord on terms. These terms are often accepted until a more…… suitable……. arrangement can be found. They are however, pretentious at best.

Modus Vivendi, should be accepted as a commentary or possibly an observation of the status between big business and the “common people” as it were; or as a critique on social relationships, or maybe even (although far be it from me to ever think of such a thing), the relationships between the governments(they are plural) that enslave all of us regardless of family, ethnicity; origin, or culture, and support the scourge that has plagued the planet since its creation.; greed, prejudice and hate and those that proliferate it!

However, turnaround is fair play in a society that lacks leadership worth an honorable mention, turnaround is an acceptable eventuality. And as it is said, tables will turn.

Peace

Lyrics

There’s are time of forgiving
And there’s are times of war
The distinction comes hard
With your back to the wall when they’ve force another door

There’s no common ground to stand
But always room for Ohne to fall
So I approached my enemy in the aftermath
And I asked if we could all over start again and they said

Fuck you boy
Your kind is all the same
We’ve no time to hear your plea
Just play the game

It’s time, let internal wars begin
There’s no modus vivendi in hand
It’s you against me, me against you
Us against them until the end

So in irreverence of their direction
I posed the question of the man
Is there really a difference between me and them?
That I’ve fail to understand

You take aim at me
Unknown to media and in absence of them
When threatened you solicit
The help of the unknown forgotten uncommon man, so we said

Fuck you boss
Your kind is all the same
Give back what you took from us
Or suffer our gain
Blood will spill when the civil war begins
There’s no modus vivendi in hand
It’s them against you, you against them
Us against you until the end

It’s time, let internal wars begin
There’s no modus vivendi at hand
It’s you against me, me against you
Us against them until the end

Blood will spill a second civil war begins
Without modus vivendi in hand
It’s them against you, you against them
Us against you until the end
