This has been coming up a lot and I don't think people understand what a social contract means. There's give and take, there are explicit, implicit and hypothetical elements to it. It doesn't mean everyone gets their way all the time - which is how some people seem to understand it, at least in relation to tabletop play.

A lot of the time I use Teknoaxe music, so it's easier to put the attribution here all the time! http://teknoaxe.com/Home.php
If it's not Teknoaxe, it's probably Bass Rebels, here on Youtube.

"See... I can get you what you want, I can. I can get you anything, you just have to talk to me, you have to trust me. You can trust me, 'cause I'm your priest, I'm your shrink... I am your main connection to the switchboard of the soul. I'm the magic man... Santa Claus of the subconscious. You say it, you think it, you can have it."
- Lenny Nero, Strange Days
