Suspicious Minds

RCA, under Sony. The trap is suspicion. He wants out, and he does not know how.

RCA released it. Sony owns RCA. The song is a house where nobody believes the sentence in front of them. He begs not to let a good thing die. The begging will not fix a habit of suspicion. Only a different habit will.

If this is the week, name the suspicion out loud, once, and then check it against a fact.

A diagnosis. Not a way to live inside the trap.

Live historicallyAsk the plain question you have been circling. Believe the answer unless you have a fact, not a mood.

Beat It

Epic, under Sony. It doesn't matter who's wrong or right. Get out.

Epic released it. Sony owns Epic. Jackson tells a boy that the circle of bodies wants a beating, not a verdict, and the boy should leave. That is often the right sentence. It is the wrong sentence when someone weaker is already on the ground and leaving is abandonment.

Know which night it is.

Useful in a parking lot. Thin if the cause is actually just.

Live historicallyIf the fight is pride, leave it. If someone small is in it, stay and end it. Do not use the chorus for both.
