Feelin' kinda lumpy today, going through my list of YouTube Watch Later videos and I notice these two cover the same topic. The first one is animated, I like animated stuff. The second one hit me because I never realized what the song was about.
A Brief Disagreement

“Come Out and Play” (The Offspring) Klezmer Cover by Robyn Adele Anderson

Come Out and Play lyrics:
Like the latest fashionLike a spreading diseaseThe kids are strappin' on their way to the classroomGetting weapons with the greatest of easeThe gangs stake out their own campus localeAnd if they catch you slippin' then it's all over palIf one guy's colors and the other's don't mixThey're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it upHey, man, you talkin' back to me?Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)Hey, man, you disrespecting me?Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)Hey, they don't pay no mindIf you're under 18 you won't be doing any timeHey, come out and playBy the time you hear the sirenIt's already too lateOne goes to the morgue and the other to jailOne guy's wasted and the other's a wasteIt goes down the same as the thousand beforeNo one's getting smarter, no one's learning the scoreYour never-ending spree of death and violence and hateIs gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own...Hey, man, you disrespecting me?Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separatedHey, man, you talkin' back to me?Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)Hey, they don't pay no mindIf you're under 18 you won't be doing any timeHey, come out and playIt goes down the same as the thousand beforeNo one's getting smarter, no one's learning the scoreYour never-ending spree of death and violence and hateIs gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own...Hey, man, you talking back to me?Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)Hey, man, you disrespecting me?Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)Hey, they don't pay no mindIf you're under 18 you won't be doing any timeHey, come out and play
Now that we have our war glasses on, we can see that all the minor wars going on all over the world exude an aura of inevitability.
P. S. I usually don't watch YouTube videos when I encounter them on other blogs, but I add them to the Watch Later list. Eventually I will get around to watching them.
