例えば、旧ソ連地域の、しかも地政学的戦略拠点と言える地域で活動するアメリカ系団体「自由の家」。 1941年にルーズベルトの肝いりで創設された非営利シンクタンクだが、その主な支援元は合衆国政府。 したがって、その外交政策には親近性が極めて高い。 その幹事を務めるピーター・アッカーマンはスティーヴ・ヨーク監督の「Bringing down a dictator」の制作にも手を貸しているが、 このドキュメンタリーは各国の学生運動家に見せるためのプロパガンダ用に現在も使用されている政治映画(この模様はフランス人ジャーナリスト、マノン・ロワゾManon Loizeauのドキュメンタリーで確認できる)。
Some things in life are bad They can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse. When you're chewing on life's gristle Don't grumble, give a whistle And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten There's something you've forgotten And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. When you're feeling in the dumps Don't be silly chumps Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.
And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...
For life is quite absurd And death's the final word You must always face the curtain with a bow. Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit When you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughing as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the right side of life... (Come on guys, cheer up!) Always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the bright side of life... (Worse things happen at sea, you know.) Always look on the bright side of life... (I mean - what have you got to lose?) (You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!) Always look on the right side of life...
