I put it to you
How exploited do you feel?
I put it to you
You are not as determined as you once were
Silence the critics I may have found the answer

Cancel your subscription to love's young dream
Your duty starts here, end this guilt ridden sleep
cos like it or not i'm a map of the consequence

Silence the critics I may have found the answer
This race is never won
just listen for once,
you must stop,
you must stop

this is not revolution rock you hear
revolution rock
this is not revolution rock you hear
it's something much less complex

Wake up - take hold
you should admit the problems we have

Focus, on the truth at hand
and never expect this to save you, to save you

just break the news

Cut the explanations in half
I put it to you
This change could be instrumental
I put this to you
all in all i can sense you've been blanked from the outset

I want you to know that you are perfect
Perfect
But do you remember how cold it was?
I pulled you tight - yet you still kept your distance

Silence the critics I may have found the answer
This is a mission call
send it out

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."
