I am here to guide you,plant the thought inside you
here to feed you lines up on stage
I am here to school you,feed your head and fool you
be your teacher,guru and sage
you want the truth,I'll give you mine
good,good omens,secret signs
and every time you try to steal away like you do,
I'll be there to rattle your cage
call me rattlesnake
I'm the rattlesnake
call me rattlesnake
I'll decide your fate...

your fathers have all wooed me,thinking they could own me
I was always there by their side
wherever there's ambition,hunger with a mission
I always come along for the ride
plenty are the shapes I choose
I always play but never lose
I only need an inch to take a solid mile
and watch you grind your teeth when you smile
call me rattlesnake
I'm the rattlesnake
call me rattlesnake
I'll decide your fate
call me rattlesnake
I'm the rattlesnake
call me rattlesnake
I'll decide your fate...

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
