We're not battling it so much, we're more or less laughing at it. There's things every day that piss me off, but they don't affect me as much in the music. There's better things to think about that some old son of a bitch cutting me off in my car or some shit on the news. All that political stuff is shit that you can't change which is not gonna matter in the long run anyway. I think instead of anger, boredom has become more of the theme in the last few albums.
Life is about avoiding boredom, really.
You gotta seize the day. I think that anger and aggression are just part of our personalities. It's deep rooted, and that's why it was there in the first place. It was never put on, so you can't just take it off. Life is much easier for us now than it was 10 years ago, but god damn, there are still things in my past that really still piss me off.
