RAINBOW - "Gates Of Babylon"
...
You can see but you're blind
Someone turned the sun around
But you can see in your mind
The gates of Babylon
You're riding the endless caravan
Bonded and sold as a slave
A sabre dance removing all the veils
Getting as good as you gave
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil and the devil will take you away

Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here,
and not be satisfied?
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take you're breath away
And after I'd
Wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
Through this world I stumble
So many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word
to find the truth enslaved
Oh, you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath
Your words keep me alive
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd
wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes, dear
Into this night I wander
It's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing of
The path I fear to tread
Oh, into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
Cause' nothing stands between us here
And I won't be denied
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd
Wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
I'll hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd
Wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes

Björk - "Hyper Ballad"
we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning i walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like:
car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever i find lying around
it's become a habit
a way
to start the day
i go through this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
it's real early morning
no-one is awake
i'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
i listen to the sounds they make
on their way down
i follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks
and when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open?
i'll go through all this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
(I reckon we go for the word 'safe' cos 'you' is just too boring this time around ... but whatever)

Tété - "Le meileur des mondes" (translation follows)
Avant avec la misère seulement
On avait déjà du mal à faire
Et maintenant il 'y a la guerre.
Cette année ces damnés
Militaires, m'ont tout pris
Six frères, un père, une terre
Mes amis, mon pays.
Allons ma mère
Partons c'est mieux
Ici il n'y a rien à faire
Pour l'amour de dieu
Allons vers l'Ouest
Quittons donc ce funeste lieu
Allons quelque part où tout va pour le mieux
Dans le meilleur des mondes
Maman n'a malheuresement
Pas supporté les convois de nuit
Les faux planchers et les fonds de cale
Ca l'a tué
Et moi je n'ai pleuré
Que lorsque j'ai réalisé
A quel point on avait bien
Pu nous leurrer à la radio
Dans les journaux
Ils parlaient d'un pays merveilleux
Quelque part où tout va pour le mieux
Dans le meilleur des mondes
########## Translation ###########
Tété - "The best of worlds"
Before, when we only had misery
it was hard enough,
and now we've got a war.
This year the damned military
have taken everything:
six brothers, a father, a land,
my friends, my country...
Come on, mom,
Let's leave, it's for the best.
There's nothing to do here.
For the love of God, lets go West
Let's get out of this morbid place
(chorus)
Let's go somewhere where everything's going for the best,
in the best of worlds
Mom, unfortunately,
couldn't take the night-time convoys,
the false floors and the depths of the holds.
It killed her.
And I only got to crying
when I realised how much we had
been deluded by the radio and the press
They talk of a wonderful country
somwhere where everything's going for the best,
in the best of worlds

And one by one they will be hand chosen!

Snoo! I thought what song I wanted to use before I clicked the thread and you used the right word!

Time is Running Out - Muse
I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be the death of me
You will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our
time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped since ovulation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooooohh
You will suck the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to
this?

My Chemical Romance - Cemetery Drive
This night
Walk the dead
In a solitary style
And crash the cemetery gates
In the dress your husband hates
Way down
Mark the grave
Where the searchlights find us
Drinking by the mausoleum door
And they found you on the bathroom floor
I miss you.
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
Back home
Off the run
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists
It isn't that much fun
Staring down a loaded gun
So I won't stop dying
Won't stop lying
If you want I'll keep on crying
Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want for me?
I miss you.
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
Way down
I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
Way down...

I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
What follows has lead me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
All insects sing tonight
The coldest sound
I'd send God's grace tonight
Could it be found?
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
What follows has lead me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Watch stars go out tonight
On sinking ground
I'll lay me down, I'll lay me down
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
What follows has lead me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows will swallow whole
What follows will swallow whole

When I was a young boy, my momma she said to me:
There's only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti
Or maybe in the Bahamas
where the Caribbean sea is blue
Weepin' away in the tropical night
because nobody's told her 'bout you
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
to find out where they hide her
YEAH!
Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
Tryin' to think of a girl
Why are my eyes fillin' up with these lonely tears
When there's girls all over the world?
Or is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneat the tropical sun
Hiding away in the heat wave there
Hopin' that I won't be long?

This is a Leadbelly song, who also goes by the name of Huddy Ledbetter. He was your quintessential blues man, and one of the first great victims of record companies. He did 2 sentences of 20 years each in jail. In one of'em, there was a legend whereby if the light of the midnight express train that passed by sometimes shined of the face of a prisoner, he would soon be freed.
Midnight Special - Huddy Ledbetter
Yonder come Miss Rosie, I knew her, do ya know
Well I knows her by the apron and the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand
Well I'm gonna ask the governor, he turned loose my man
Let the midnight special, shine the light on me
Let the midnight special, shine the ever-lovin' light on me
When you gets up in the mornin', when that big bell ring
You go to march to the table, see the same damn thing
Knife and fork are on the table, there's nothin' in my pan
And if you say anything about it, havin' trouble with the man
Let the midnight special, shine the light on me
Let the midnight special, shine the ever-lovin' light on me
Well I went to the nation and to the territo(ry)
Well I thought about a girl I love, lived in Mexico
Let the midnight special, shine the light on me
Let the midnight special, shine the ever-lovin' light on me
If you ever go to Houston, oh you better walk right
And you better not squabble and you better not fight
Sheriff Rocko will arrest you, Eddie Boone will take you down
You can bet your bottom dollar: penitentiary bound
Let the midnight special, shine the light on me
Let the midnight special, shine the ever-lovin' light on me
Well jumpin' little Judy, she was a mighty fine girl
Well Judy brought jumpin' to this whole round world
Well she brought it in the mornin', just a while for a day
She brought me the news, that my wife was dead
That started me to grievin', and hollerin' and a-cryin'
Then I begin to worry about a very long time
Let the midnight special, shine the light on me
Let the midnight special, shine the ever-lovin' light on me
(again, I choose 'time' as the next word, but 'me' is available i spose)

but you'll come runnin' back, you'll come runnin' back,
you'll come runnin' back to me.

You're searching for good times but just wait and see,

you'll come runnin' back to me.
Go ahead..go ahead and light up the town!
Baby, do everything your heart desires..
remember, I'll always be around.
And I know like I told you so many times before
you're gonna come back, baby..
you're gonna come back knockin' right on my door.
Time is on my side, yes, it is.
Time is on my side, yes, it is.
'Cause I got the real love, the kind that you need.
You'll come runnin' back, you'll come runnin' back,
you'll come runnin' back to me.

He's a phantom, a mystery and that leaves me Nothing!
How many times have you wanted to die?
It's too late for me.
All you have to do is get rid of me!
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
It's all in your head
It's all in my head
It's all in your head
I tried
You lied to me for so long
Everywhere I go, there's a sense of it
Freak on my antics and give me a choice
Doesn't matter if I give a s**t
It's s**t that you gave me
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
It's all in your head
It's all in my head
It's all in your head
Do you wanna feel pain?
Takin' my name in vain
Caring never felt so lame inside
Anybody else got pride?
Do you wanna take my life?
Maybe I'll reverse my ride
Who the hell are you?
F**k you!
Better suck it up cuz you bled through
Better get away from me
Stay the f**k away from me!

System of a Down - Starlit Eyes
Pushin' the law again
Pushin' the law again
Justice with a sword
Our smiling knight on board
Opening his heart to everyone
And loving without a doubt
Embarrassing friends and
embarrassing foes,
And those who were unjust
A man true to his heart
without fear or misgivings
With "insecurity" tattooed
across his body
The first to accept, the last to disappoint
He understood all and expected nothing
Now you are free
Free to roam the skies
Now and then visit me
With your starlit eyes
You took all our hearts
With your smile,
And left a legacy untold
You conquered life and fear,
So you see there was no room for you to grow old

Of Montreal - Jacques Lamure
Jacques Lamure is a
volunteer fireman
He longs to give his life
Saving a nice old man and his wife
When their house is
filled with flames
Earning him honor and fame
Jacques Lamure is a foreman
at a clock factory
He wishes he were boss
So he could fire that scoundrel William Moss
Who always puts him down
When Megan Blanchard is around
He told himself last year
that when springtime was here
He would suddenly appear at Meg's door
He'd rent a mariachi band and respectfully demand
His dear Meg to take his hand
And to be his forever more
But of course he didn't dare
and pretended not to care
About the insult or the loss
When he found out she'd married William Moss
Jacques Lamure goes to see a show
every other Friday night
He likes the westerns best
He'd rather be a sheriff with a gold star on his chest
Than that weird guy who never says a word
And when spoken to pretends he hadn't heard
He realized one day that he didn't have to stay
That he could move as far away as planes could fly
He chuckled as he mused
About the people who had rused him
And how shocked and confused that they would be
When he says goodbye and never turns around
Never returns to that miserable town
Then as weeks passed he soon did find
This move had greatly improved his state of mind

Dig it up, throw it at me
Where can I run to, where can I hide
Who will I turn to now I'm in a virgin state of mind
Got a knife to disengage the voids that I can't bear
To cut out words I've got written on my chair

Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way
woh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
I’ve been working my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it’ll turn your head around
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
woh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain

I’m torn apart by words that you have said
and all in all, I know we’re falling apart
Where did you run to so far away?
And here we are to sing you a song
And there you are asleep against the windowpane
Just like always
You said you like to hear the rain sometimes
and all I can do is tell you the truth
Oh my eyes will tell you the same
And here we are to sing you a song
And there you are asleep again
And here we are to sing you a song
And there you are asleep again
Grasp our hands together
we feel we are one result
And here we are to sing you a song
And there you are asleep again

She'll go anywhere

Could be identity crisis but I can't buy this
Reality bites but that's what life is
Pitiful you, your hideous behavior
Hate what God gave ya, fakin all the flava
Artificial minds seekin out the new trends
Get in where you fit in
Quit thinkin like a has-been diggin in my culture
Let me let your punks know I'm an old school soldier
With the funk flow
A damn shame you wanna change yourself
Because you're sick of yourself
Well I'm sick of you too, fake
You're a, a counterfeit, fake
You know we figured you out
Well I'm sick of you too, fake
You're a, a counterfeit, fake

So if your fakin that you're phat you need a ballbat
Right where your head is at
All your desperation causes separation
Now I grab the mic to intimidate
Your weakness screams from the limp on your siren
Phonies get the hint quick smacked with funk flick
Pain for the fakers fame can't maintain
All these phonies
You disregarded your life (disregarded your life)
You disrespected your friends (you disrespected your friends)
You've even stolen your appearance (stolen)
From hangin out with my family
But I should have never dropped my guard (shoulda never dropped my guard)
So you could stab me in the back (stab me in the back)
But you were faking me out (you were faking me out)
Just faking me out you wear a mask (you wear a mask)

You're such a liar, when I first saw you
I really thought you'd be our man.
You started sighin' and caged us all in,
seems that we've built our hopes on sand
I can see your real self in your eyes.
You don't want to be my friend.
You speak with a forked tongue,
say "hi", but it means "go to hell" -
over and over again.
The face behind the mask.
All that you've done was for taking
and not for giving.
I've recognized what's within,
saw the face behind the mask.
You're such a coward, we brought you forward,
we gave you chances on and on.
But you just wasted what we invested,
now there's no way to carry on.
I can see your real self in your eyes.

Bowling For Soup
"Girl All The Bad Guys Want"
8 o'clock, Monday night and I'm waitin'
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me.
Her name is Nona, she's a rocker with a nose ring,
She wears a two way, but I'm not quite sure what that means.
And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
She doesn't notice me!
Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She likes the godsmack and I like agent orange
Her cd changer's full of singers that are mad at their dad
She says she'd like to score some reefer and a forty
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never have
And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
She'll never notice me!
Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes
She likes 'em with a mustache
Racetrack season pass
Drivin' in a Trans-Am
Does a mullet make a man?
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
There she goes again
With fishnets on, and dreadlocks in her hair
She broke my heart, I wanna be sedated
All I wanted was to see her naked!
Now I am watchin' wrestling
Tryin' to be a tough guy
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in my eyes
I can't grow a mustache
And I ain't got no season pass
All I got's a moped...moped....moped.....
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
(There she goes again)
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
(There she goes again)
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!

Can you feel im not like you anymore
I cant see i cant breath
See you quiver like the dogs on the streets
Looking down on as i beat you
Its a bad religion from a broken nation
Its a contradiction
And i cant take it anymore
Whos to say i wont like you anyway
Take a deep breath im alive
Can you feel me im alive inside of you
Agony creeps up behind you...
Its a bad religion from a broken nation

And i cant take it any fucking more
Can you feel it? I gotta live it with everyday

I felt you slip away, far away from me, further from me.
You seem to drift.
I caught myself wishing you back.
As I fight to catch you.
Anger wells inside me.
I see me, frowning in your eyes.
I see, the fear in you, where none should ever be.
I am here for you, as I strive to grab you.
I see my reflection and the pain scripted across my face, set in stone.
Anger wells inside me.
I see me, frowning in your eyes.
Far away from me, further from me.
You seem to drift (far away).
I caught myself wishing you back.
As I fight to catch you.
Slap me, punch me, stab me, kick me, burn me, crucify me, kill me.
F*** you, hate you, love you, hate myself.
You are nothing to me.
I am everything to you.
You are nothing to me.
I put the fear in you where none should ever be.
I am everything to you.

Morning smiles
like the face
of a newborn child,
innocent, unknowing.
Winter's end
promises
of a long lost friend.
Speaks to me of comfort
but I fear
I have nothing to give.
I have so much
to lose here in this lonely place.
Tangled up in your embrace
there's there's nothing I'd like better than
to fall.
but I fear
I have nothing to give.
Wind in time
rapes the flower
trembling on the vine
and nothing yields to shelter
from above.
They say temptation will destroy our love.
The never ending hunger
but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much
to lose here in this lonely place
tangled up in our embrace
there's nothing I'd like better than
to fall
but I fear
I have nothing to give.
I have so much to lose.
I have nothing to give.
We have so much to lose...

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo, His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's chokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy
No, he won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap city
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go

The Guess Who-Share The Land
Have you been around
Have you done your share of coming down
On different things that people do
Have you been aware
You got brothers and sisters who care
About what's gonna happen to you
In a year from now...
Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be giving away
When we all live together.
Did you pay your dues
Did you read the news
This morning when the paper landed in your yard
Do you know their names
Can you play their games
And coming down a bit too hard...
Shake your hand, share the land
Shake your hand, share the land
You know I'll be standing by
To help you if you worry....

No more sadness, no more sorrow, no more bad times

walking together by the river, walking together and

I ran into your best friend today
Twelve nights since you ran away
I asked about you and she said, can't say, can't say
I'm feeling lonely and it seems to stay
It's been a while since I felt that way
Well, I can tell you there's no room to play this game
All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening
Don't go, don't go telling me you're alright
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're OK
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're OK when we're
Lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
I didn't mean to start the last big fight
You never should have hung up that night
All I want to do is make things right
Make it right
Listen, with all the choices that we chose to make
And all the promises we chose to break
We were busy making big mistakes, yesterday

Bright Side of Life-Life of Brain
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistling]
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.
[whistling]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistling]
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,
[whistling]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistling]
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.
[whistling]
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!

Always look on the bright side of life!

No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black

Look at the stars they're raining down
Even these jewels want to kiss your crown
Don't be afraid it's just your face
Has that effect on heavens' treasure case

I haven't felt this way before
Impossible to ask for more
Unanswered prayers that went before
Lie like leaves upon the floor
Hang all the world and universe

When I inhale your angel breath

Last Great American Whale - Lou Reed
They say he didn't have an enemy
his was a greatness to behold
He was the last surviving progeny
the last one on this side of the world
He measured a half mile from tip to tail
silver and black with powerful fins
They say he could split a mountain in two
that's how we got the Grand Canyon
Last great American whale
last great American whale
Last great American whale
last great American whale
Some say they saw him at the Great Lakes
some say they saw him off of Florida
My mother said she saw him in Chinatown
but you can't always trust your mother
Off the Carolinas the sun shines brightly in the day
the lighthouse glows ghostly there at night
The chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayor's son
and he'd been on death row since 1958
The mayor's kid was a rowdy pig
spit on Indians and lots worse
The old chief buried a hatchet in his head
life compared to death for him seemed worse
The tribal brothers gathered in the lighthouse to sing
and tried to conjure up a storm or rain
The harbor parted, the great whale sprang full up
and caused a hugh tidal wave
The wave crushed the jail and freed the chief
the tribe let out a roar
The whites were drowned, the browns and reds set free
but sadly one thing more
Some local yokel member of the NRA
kept a bazooka in his living room
And thinking he had the chief in his sight
blew the whale's brains out with a lead harpoon
Last great American whale
last great American whale
Last great American whale
last great American whale
Well Americans don't care for much of anything
land and water the least
And animal life is low on the totem pole
with human life not worth more than infected yeast
Americans don't care too much for beauty
they'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
and complain if they can't swim
They say things are done for the majority
don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me
"Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done"

Foo Fighters-All My Life
All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost
Come down don't you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my breath
Will I find something in that
So give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)
Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I've got nothing to hide
On and on I've got nothing to hide
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)
All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost
And I'm done, done and I'm under the next one (x8, then x4 but yelling)
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)
(yelling)
Done done and under the next one
Done I'm done and I'm under the next
