| Description | Exactly what would other cultures make of the music of Buffy's era? This can be a crossover with any genre that does not have 'modern' music. Lord of the Rings is preferable, but any non-advanced society would work. (Abydos from Stargate, etc.) [REQUIREMENTS] Must have the lyrics from the song 'Land of Confusion' by Disturbed, in whole or part. (Could be a character singing it, or simply as a header for the plot of a chapter, etc.) BtVS main character must either be Buffy, Willow, or Spike. *If crossed with Lord of the Rings, Legolas must be in the story as much as possible. (My precioussssssss) [OPTIONAL] A BtVS character singing the song 'Land of Confusion', in whole or part. (The circumstances of WHY they're singing it are up to you.) A BtVS character trying to explain the intricacies of modern music-specifically rock and roll or metal-to someone from a less advanced culture. (IE explaining that Superman as mentioned in the song is NOT real.) -=Land of Confusion Lyrics=- I must have dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street Now, did you read the news today? They say the danger has gone away But I can see the fire's still alight They're burning into the night There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And there's not much love to go around Can't you see this is the land of confusion? This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in Oh, superman, where are you now? When everything's gone wrong somehow? The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour This is the time, this is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go around Tell me why this is the land of confusion This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in I remember long ago When the sun was shining And all the stars were bright all through the night In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight So long ago I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know we'll never keep There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And there's not much love to go round Can't you see this is the land of confusion? Now, this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth fighting for This is the world we live in And these are the names we're given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to |
