Your democracy has become a tattered vision of truth,
Corporate sponsorship, rapin' & ruling the land,
Do you think what you say will make it any better,
It's been this way two hundred years, will stay this way forever!

You made promises of health care still my teeth rot in my head.
You once seemed so concerned now you left us all for dead.
The unemployed, the uninsured, the homeless in the street,
We're the ones that put you there, buddy you've got promises to keep.

We won't survive, this road to power led by all your kings.
It's time to wake up and take back what you have lost.
And when it all falls from this malady spread from within,
It's happened once before, my friend, well here it comes again.

This state we've built is a sick reflection of all that we've become
We've closed our eyes, been fed these lies do you know what your country's done.
In the land of mad consumers free to spend at their own will,
We're losing sight of what it means to be a free America.

There's something wrong with all of this
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with you

I cannot stand by,
And watch them as they fuck up my life.

There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong with all of this
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with you

Believe these lies,
They'll lead you to a path in harm's way!

    Its about how corporations control the government, and all these promises made by leaders to fix poverty and health care just get broken. Sick song instrumentally as well.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
