I've seen six billion lies, 'cause we don't even try
To recognize a simple fact that we all know
You cannot resist, our hopes are futile at best
'Cause it's where we're from and where we all will go
Our naive self-perspective never really grows
So hold on to the things that you hold so dear
Keep believing the lies you hear
The thoughts that nag at you everyday
Well, none of them matter anyway
And all the pain that you see
Is just a future memory
When you're gone there will be no trace
Just two more to take your place
I've seen cultures and dreams (just narcissist mentality)
Procreation in an attempt to live forever
I've seen religious elation, the scientist's equation
We have no question but keep looking for an answer
We value worthless things that give meaning to our day
So hold on to the things that you hold so dear
Keep believing the lies you hear
The thoughts that nag at you everyday
Well, none of them matter anyway
And all the pain that you see
Is just a future memory
When you're gone there will be no trace
Just two more to take your place
Close your eyes you're away

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
