I have the will to survive. I cheat if I can’t win. If someone locks me out, I kick my way back in!

I realize it's mostly Jones's slicker singing voice, but this, like any song on which he sings lead, sounds like perverted love song. Whenever he calls it out "hate and war," it's as if he's crying out the name of his beloved. Yes, she tortures him. Yes, he can't stop thinking of her. Yes, she's got him up at night. Yes, she's sapping his will to live. But no, he can't live without her. And he wouldn't want to. She's bad for him, but he's not giving up on her. He simply doesn't feel alive without racial animus, violence in the streets, and widespread social dysfunction. The riots, the kids out fighting one another, the poisoned political atmosphere, etc.--it's a heady and intoxicating mixture. Combustible and anxiety-inducing, but also thrilling, always promising something novel, something exhilarating, something unforgettable. A perpetual state of hate and war is a gas. He's living it, and loving it.
