You have to use your imagination to get across a situation. You can simplify or overstate to make it easier to relate. You can go right over the top with a list of things you want to stop, or you can concentrate on just one wrong to make it easier to sing-along. But if you say, "I don't like this", (or that or the other in a big long list) then people will write you off as a pessimist, providing not alternatives. Or if you decide to simplify, use four-letter words and spit in the sky then they'll chant the slogans and won't even try to understand the reasons why. So perhaps the only way to make clear the views you'd like everyone to hear is by taking a piece of everyday life and looking at it closer in a different light. Let's take an example: the way we eat. Sat at the table, and its all so neat. Now you can understand that, cause that is how it is done. It has probably happened to everyone. Having caught the attention you now decide how far to push your thoughts outside. There are loads of angles, like dining out, or the hunger of the old man whose cash ran out, or the money made by corporations selling bombs, not food, to starving nations. You see there's a worldwide scope of affiliations depending on how far you want to stretch imaginations. Insert a little optimism now and then before complaining becomes a trend. Repetition defeats the point in the end, it numbs imagination until it cannot comprehend. So walk the line between humor and gloom. Amongst the debris there is just enough room to keep your mentality growing strong and create some ultimate protest songs.
