The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
from Man and Superman by George Bernard Shaw
If you want truly to understand something, try to change it.
We’ve got to act fast. Step one, we reverse the vacuum and blow the air back onto the planet.

Birds fly in every direction
Believe in me, I’m with the high command
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see - 'Cause they got no place to be
Magic, and you know you're the one who can put out the fire
My life, my love, my drive, it came from - Pain!
Lift me up - Give me strength to press on
Like Spud Webb I go to war with the giants, cause they just pawns in the game, but I'm a lord of the science
I'm overcoming gravity I'm overcoming gravity
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
Over and in, last call for sin - While everyone's lost, the battle is won, with all these things that I've done
In the latest midnight hour, when the world has gone to sleep, you gotta get up
If I stole, somebody else's waves to fly up
Don't you tell me what you think that I can be - I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea
If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it - Anything you want to, do it - Want to change the world? There's nothing to it
To escape the world, I've got to enjoy that simple dance - And it seemed that everything was on my side
Move me on to any black square, use me any time you want
I wanna turn the whole thing upside down - I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones - Enough to make my system blow
By and by we'll defy, a little bit of gravity
Keeping dumb and built to beat - If you steal my sunshine
We're always happy, Life's for livin' yeah that's our philosophy
They think that love's a lie, But we can teach them how to try
The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up
...but I feel it still
You know darn well, when you cast your spell, you will get your way - When you hypnotize with your eyes, a heart of stone can turn to clay
I was trying to find my way - I was thinking my mind was made, but you were making my heart change shape - It's all that I could take
Maybe, I don't really want to know, how your garden grows, 'cause I just want to fly
You could try and take us - But victory's contagious
When illusion spin her net, I'm never where I want to be - And liberty she pirouette, when I think that I am free
Don't wait for an invitation, No need for reservation - This life is an exploration and you gotta see, what I see in you
There is a road, no simple highway - Between the dawn and the dark of night - And if you go, no one may follow - That path is for your steps alone
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
I am, I am, I am Superman and I know what's happening - I am, I am, I am Superman and I can do anything
Hide you in my coat pocket, where I kept my rebel red - Felt I was invincible, you wrapped around my head
