In linguistics, a copula (plural: copulas or copulae) is a word used to link the subject of a sentence with a predicate (a subject complement). The word copula derives from the Latin noun for a link or tie that connects two different things.
A copula is often a verb or a verb-like word, though this is not universally the case. A verb that is a copula is sometimes called a copulative or copular verb. In English primary education grammar courses, a copula is often called a linking verb. Other copulas show more resemblances to pronouns. This is the case for Classical Chinese and Guarani, for instance. In highly synthetic languages, copulas are often suffixes, attached to a noun, that may still behave otherwise like ordinary verbs, for example -u- in Inuit languages. In some other languages, such as Beja and Ket, the copula takes the form of suffixes that attach to a noun but are distinct from the person agreement markers used on predicative verbs. This phenomenon is known as nonverbal person agreement or nonverbal subject agreement and the relevant markers are always established as deriving from cliticised independent pronouns.
Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American business magnate, television personality and author. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump's extravagant lifestyle, outspoken manner and role on the NBC reality show The Apprentice have made him a well-known celebrity who was No. 17 on the 2011 Forbes Celebrity 100 list. He is well-known as a real-estate developer who amassed vast hotel, casino, and other real-estate properties, in the New York City area and around the world.
Trump is the son of Fred Trump, a wealthy New York City real-estate developer. He worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1968 officially joined the company. He was given control of the company in 1971 and renamed it The Trump Organization.
In 2010, Trump expressed an interest in becoming a candidate for President of the United States in the 2012 election. In May 2011, he announced he would not be a candidate, but a few weeks later he said he had not completely ruled out the possibility. In December 2011, Trump was suggested as a possible Vice Presidential selection by Michele Bachmann. Bachmann has since suspended her presidential campaign.
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
I tied on my boots and strapped on my bracelet
to go out and meet some new faces.
Went to the store to buy some dark gin,
and now I know my night's ready to begin.
A dozen friends in my big 'ol car,
my '62 Buick can't take us too far.
Out for the night, it'll be so rude,
gotta hold us down before the night is through.
In Grand Rapids, there's nothing to do.
When you're down it's the same way too.
Gotta get up, do the best that you can.
To be a fool, is to be a man.
Well I went to the party with the big 'ol keg.
They said the way I drank, they thought I had a hollow leg.
Standing around, starting to groove,
with my beer in hand I think I'll plot my next move.
I spot a pretty girl giving me a wink
trying to catch my eye, or so I think.
Such a fool I am, should not have overlooked
that her eyes were only clouded by the smoke.
Well I went to Denny's to buy me some food,
said it's the only place that can put me in the mood.
I order my fries and always complain,
but the way they taste I think I'd rather eat them plain.
But I'm still with my friends, still having fun
talking shit while the night is still young.
But I bet they watch me drink as much as I'm able,
I know they'll laugh when they find me passed out on the table.
How can I explain
The actions of a man
Who's so confused
He don't know if he's coming or going
If I knew I would
Do everything that I could
To change my ways
But life aint that easy
To be everything that you want me to be
It's a fantasy created only in your own mind
Only in your mind
Maybe now and then
I acted way out of line
But there was so much pain
And the truth is so hard to hide
How could you expect
For me to change my life
And walk away to leave all those tears behind
To be everything that you want me to be
It's a fantasy created only in your own mind
Only in your mind
To be everything that you want me to be
It's a fantasy created only in your own mind
To be everyrhing that you want me to be
It's a fantasy you've created only in your own mind
"tears run from my feline eyes"
did you ever know
you, so far away
waiting for an answer
waiting for another time
some kind of heaven
let your depths shine
the heartland may be flooded
the spire never drowns
just like the place
I always long for
to know I'll never reach
never reach you
thoughts and memories
are remedies to get a glimpse
of this light
I raise my arms toward
once more lights
everywhere anytime with you or you
oh do I dare in the narrow next time
oh do I get a next time at all
just take me out
I never thought i'd rest my life
Like dreams don't dare to pretend
But a single day can change
All the future that you've planned
To go and see what's there for me
To be... or not to be?
You're laying here lonely
And I wish you speak
But the wires tell your stories
Cause your body is too weak
I take your hand and there's nothing
Is there someone inside?
And if there is,
is it still you in this body that's dying
There is a soul that keeps hearing
What's you're going to say
There is a soul that keeps feeling
It's someone who is longing to stay
I'm not sure but I hope that
I can help you if I could
Is it right that I'm thinking?
And is it wrong if I do?
How will I know the answer?
How can I stand the pain?
Hoe will I know the reason?
Why you're going away?
There is a way and I'm walking
There's a light in the dark
There's my hope that is leading
Me back to my life if I fight if I fight
Time goes by but standing still
All my life is passing by tears run dry
Words are gone
How can I keep going on - all alone?
There is a soul that keeps hearing
What you're going to say
There is a soul that keeps feeling
It's someone who is longing to stay
My past has turned out bad for me
Now I pick up the pieces to start over
And walking with you is the best thing I'll ever do
I'm taking your hand tonight
I want it to be forever you and me
You took me under your wings
Things will never be the same again
Your words sink like a needle that is breaking my skin
My mind is in harmony now I think of
All I think of is you
This warm affection means more than any other, and I'm with you now
My world belongs to you now and I embrace your open hand
I want it to be forever you and me
You took me under your wings
Things will never be the same again
Your words sink like a needle that is breaking my skin
My mind is in harmony now I think of you
You know what I see
this is for you
I love being me
you knew it all along
I look into your eyes as I open up my heart for you
I won't run in circles anymore
I want it to be forever you and me
You took me under your wings
Things will never be the same again
Your words sink like a needle that is breaking my skin
My mind, my mind will be with you
My mind will always be with you
My mind stays sane if you just love me now
Your words sink like a needle that is breaking my skin
Time again
There's time my friend ...
And time will never end
You'll be free my love
You'll be free my love
Do you see our love?
Do you see our love?
Oh, honey ... honey
Honey ... honey
Can you see our love?
Do you feel our love?
To be free my love
To be free my love ...
Can you feel our love?
Can you feel our love?
I can feel your love
Today I saw it was more I could take
Made my mind out of line
How can I breath if this world´s full of pain
leaving me no other choice
Like a wind, like a rain, like a storm
I will gain
Answers that held my mind
Gimme day, Gimme week
And I tell what I need
More days to live
Too many times we think we sense the danger
though we can´t even see ourselves
We´re talking ´bout the future
We´re worrying ´bout the future in our lives
We´re waiting for tomorrow to come
We´re talking ´bout the future
And the sound in my head keeps telling me
what is the truth and what is not
How can I know for sure
If we think we are clever enough
To find our mindless reign
I can´t stand no more
Time after you feel that you don´t believe why it is here
To be just for you
I know this girl, i like her real bad, i know it sounds
sad, but thats the way i feel.I wanna grow up and build
her a house, build her kids, for real.
She stands around town telling her friends stories i
try to decipher.
And in the end, it all falls down because i am an
outsider.
And you can never be what you want
To be
Summer Morning, Winter's Evening, it rains again, I
lie.
Arms around her, my protector, admiring the blue blue
sky.
Reflected in her eyes, there are happy smiles, never
can I annoy her.
I see her there in the satisfied arms of the outsider.
But will she ever pay the fee
To see?
Some lads tell I am ugly, and damn lucky, and that i
will be destroyed.
Others say that things are well, things are swell, and
that i'm just paranoid.
I feel her cold shoulder, she's a few months older, a
few years wiser.
Hidden Histories, unsolved mysteries, unknown to the
outsider.
But you can never be what you want
To be
Time again
There's time my friend ...
And time will never end
You'll be free my love
You'll be free my love
Do you see our love?
Do you see our love?
Oh, honey ... honey
Honey ... honey
Can you see our love?
Do you feel our love?
To be free my love
To be free my love ...
Can you feel our love?
Can you feel our love?
I can feel your love
I can feel your love ...
