Lyrics

Why isn't everyone enlightened?
But Jung's thinking isn't like that at all
You know, he believed that in order to transform your personality
That first of all, you had to be disciplined, that's for sure
But you also had to integrate that part of you
That was terrible and capable of
Breaking rules and make it part of you
And so then, and I really like that idea
Well, here's an example
So about twenty years ago, I would say
There was a newspaper headline in one of Canada's major newspapers
And it was the Minister of Foreign
Affairs at that time, Lloyd Axworthy
And he was talking about what had happened with Milosevic
In the former Soviet Union, in Yugoslavia
And the atrocities that were being committed
And he said that he was caught unawares by that
Because he didn't have the imagination for that kind of evil
And I thought, well, you know
You think that what you're doing is signaling your virtue
By making a statement like that
But from my perspective, all you're doing is stating your cowardice
And your historical ignorance
Because if you're going to be Minister of Foreign Affairs
You bloody well better have imagination for that kind of evil
Because if you don't, then anyone who does wins
They beat you
And so, you know, again in the Harry Potter stories
You see, he's touched by evil, right?
He actually has a soul fragment that's embedded within him
That's as black as anything can possibly be
That's why he can talk to snakes
But without that, he wouldn't be able to have any victory
And that's exactly right, psychologically
Unless you can think the way that an evil person thinks
Then you're defenseless against them
Because they'll go places you can't imagine, and then they win
And so the best man I've met
It was interesting, even when I was in junior high and high school
'Cause most of my friends dropped out
You know, by the time they were grade ten, thereabouts
And a lot of them were guys who developed physically
They were pretty powerful
And they were just damn sick of putting
Up their hand to go to the bathroom
It was like, you know, they're not doing that anymore
One of my friends got kicked out when
He sort of challenged the gym teacher
You know, physically
And the gym teacher, he could do an Iron Cross
He was a tough guy
So it was no trivial matter for my friend to stand up to him
But he got expelled anyways
But you know, I noticed that it wasn't
It was often the kids whose character I admired
That either quit or got expelled
And they were the tougher guys who were just sick and tired
Of following rules that didn't take into account their character
And then they'd go off and work in oil rigs or whatever
You could do that in Alberta at that time
That was really hard work, you know
So it wasn't like they were necessarily taking the easy path
But like, a harmless man is not a good man
A good man is a very, very dangerous man
