	"Your friendship is a fog That disappears when the wind redirects You interested in you.." zack is screaming about how he feels betrayed by a president (or another political figure) who, while running for office, puts up a front pretending like s/he cares about your needs but really is just lying and will do anything to get you to punch that hole next to their name on the ballot. kinda like how snakecharmers manipulate snakes..

No Picture Gavin Wanna Be	#2 by Gavin Waddington at Jun 27, 1973 at 10:12 PM EST
	To minorxxthreat who says quote "Nothing is keeping you in America". I hate that love it or leave it shit. Fuck you I have every right to hate this country and still stay and try to change it. By the way I guess nothing was keeping the poor in New Orleans during Katrina right? Idiot

	i think this the line "Your friendship is a fog it dissapears when the wind redirects" is is refering to when the Mexican Revolutionary Zapata was betrayed by Madero (a man running for president who promises Zapata land reform in return for his support and the support of his ppl). So pr0parations was really close

	its about how empty and souless the amercan dream is, and how its really a great tool for social control

No Picture Daniel Wanna Be	#5 by Daniel Tucker at Nov 25, 2001 at 9:53 PM EST
	classic cliche'd rage lyrics, but great musically. I used to loathe this whole album, but this song kick

No Picture Tracii Wanna Be	#6 by Tracii Guns at Oct 23, 2006 at 1:52 PM EST
	I agree with pr0parations and Op Ivy Skanker , that its about being betrayed, and the way that a snake charmer controls a snake.

No Picture owain Wanna Be	#7 by owain pole at Jul 5, 2007 at 2:38 PM EST
	The first "freindship is a fog" isnt actually 'freindship', its 'vengeance'. such a great line.
