We all have those songs were used to listen to but have since been stacked in the more obscure parts of our memories -- not forgotten, just buried under multiple layers of our mental archaeological strata, just below our consciousness. Every now and then, something happens that causes the memory to resurface and morph into an earworm, and you're left thinking, 'whoa, I really dug that one up there! How many years has it been since I've listened to that song?'. :notsure:

I found my old ass binder full of CDs from my teen years, so I've been reliving all my old musical choices in their questionable and nostalgic glory. This particular song seems apropos, though...

"Come ride with me through the veins of history,
I'll show you how god falls asleep on the job.
And how can we win when fools can be kings?
Don't waste your time or time will waste you."
