I'm Not Laughing at You (Sun Kil Moon) People ask me in my country "What does the rest of the world think of the USA?" Said "Same thing that they always did, they think we're stupid and insane. Goes back to Columbine, and Reagan, and Nixon, and Viet Nam, and George Bush, and shock and awe campaign...Yeah, but you guys also shot John Kennedy and Martin Luther King...She said "Well you're here. And where are you from exactly?" I said "The state where the kids at Kent Station were killed west of Pennsylvania".
