We are untutored youth and heres the proof.
Dont wanna know anything we don't and it's the truth - and they lost out.
If you can't hear me just start looking at my mouth - and so you are.
You might not like it but there's nothing you can do - don't even try.
No use in knowing all the when's and why's.
And if I really wanted to learn something I'd listen to more records and I do, we do, you do so.
And that's the truth.
When it feels like all you ever do is loose - here is the catch.
There's nowhere you're gonna be a perfect match - we won't fit in.
But there is no way in hell they are gonna win - and that's it.
Not even (the finest pair of) gloves come witha perfect fit.
And when people tell me what is ok and what is not, it should not be an unexpected scene seeing I extend my middle right hand digit and say.
- would you like lemon or lime with that piece of advice mister?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
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,
