This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Drinkin’ beer in the hot sun
I fought the law and I won
I needed sex and I got mine
I fought the law and I won
The law don’t mean shit if you’ve got the right friends
That’s how the country’s run
Twinkies are the best friend I’ve ever had
I fought the law
And I won
I blew George & Harvey’s brains out with my six-gun
I fought the law and I won
Gonna write my book and make a million
I fought the law and I won
I’m the new folk hero of the Ku Klux Klan
My cop friends think that’s fine
You can get away with murder if you’ve got a badge
I fought the law
And I won
I am the law
So I won
(i think...cuz this is the dead kennedys song, but its hard to make out wut these chicks are sayin)
I fought the law and I won
I needed sex and I got mine
I fought the law and I won
The law don’t mean shit if you’ve got the right friends
That’s how the country’s run
Twinkies are the best friend I’ve ever had
I fought the law
And I won
I blew George & Harvey’s brains out with my six-gun
I fought the law and I won
Gonna write my book and make a million
I fought the law and I won
I’m the new folk hero of the Ku Klux Klan
My cop friends think that’s fine
You can get away with murder if you’ve got a badge
I fought the law
And I won
I am the law
So I won
(i think...cuz this is the dead kennedys song, but its hard to make out wut these chicks are sayin)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i think thug murders a funny band cuz their all japanese and chicks. they have a hardcore accenton this song but its pretty bad
Thug murder kicks ass.
It was orignally a Clash song named "I fought the law (and the law won)". DK covered it and changed the lyrics around.
The original song was performed by Bobby Fuller Four. The Clash later covered the song with immense success. The Dead Kennedys than did there rewrite of the song.
i'm pretty sure the original was by johnny cash, but i could be wrong....and thug murder are a great band, too bad more of their lyrics aren't up....i guess no one can understand what they are saying! haha.
and those lyrics are all wrong...the law won, so thug murder was breaking rocks in the hot sun, not drinking beer.
No, MeganB, YOU'RE wrong, it is "I fought the law and I won" not to be confused with "I fought the law and the law won", this is actually a Cover of a Cover, the song "I fought the law and the law won" was originally written by the Bobby Fuller Four, the Clash later covered it with immense success like Oooska said, and then the Dead Kennedys covered the song..But changed the lyrics around, the DK song is about a politician who murdered the openly gay Mayor of San Francisco and another person ( Hence, I blew Harvey & George out with my six-gun ), and got away with only 6 years in prison, his defense was that he went temporarily insane from eating too many Twinkies...When the cops heard of the murder, they cheered and clapped and supported him, anyway..I just wanted to get things straight - the lyrics are correct.
Actually it was the Mayor of San Francisco (George Mascone), who was not gay, and Harvey Milk, who was the first openly gay man elected to public office (city supervisor).
joining this 12 years late but thug murder are breaking rocks (like the clash) the dead kennedys drink beer. The title says this is the thug murder song so the lyrics uptop are wrong. the bit in brackets about being a dead kennedys cover is just plain misleading.
