Gang Control (featuring Popeye & Skwert)
Bombs over New York
And sky below
Social society in aqua-glo
Meaning is void in the face of racist reasoning
Stealing back the world from the police-thieving
[Popeye]
and the gun comes down
when you look in the eyes it's flat like a doll
like a shark
living with your lies
it's gonna kill ya and eat up your soul
emerald city with a blue wall
fuck the police
they have gang control
we gotta take it back
everyone get up & lets go
around the globe it's outta hand
indonesia & japan
across the ocean, back again
england, zaire and iran
History - shrouded in mystery
Fight wars for ancestory
Cops do tha same:
Continue on the old shame
Down in the fires for a cop out for fame.
[Skwert:]
step to us and we go pow pow
next thing you know you're lying dead on the ground
there's no way you'll understand the weight of our lives
mister officer watch your back tonight
fuck the police
they have gang control
we gotta tear it down everyone let's go
from pole to pole it's outta hand
burma, kenya and thailand
in every city the laws protecting the elite
fuck the police
they have gang control
we gotta tear it down everyone let's go
individuals who hate man
with kings license to clean the land
fill the already one way laws
Original Lyrics :
Verse 1
I grew up in a third world war
with tanks out on the street
6 degrees above the equator
but not above the police heat
all around the world this shit is out of hand
making america look like la la land
Verse 2
school was interrupted when the bomb sirens sound
sometimes we wouldn't go at all
when a curfew shut the country down
the police killing insurrectors
everyone's in fear
but that was an election year
the first they'd had in 11 years
Bombs over New York
And sky below
Social society in aqua-glo
Meaning is void in the face of racist reasoning
Stealing back the world from the police-thieving
[Popeye]
and the gun comes down
when you look in the eyes it's flat like a doll

living with your lies
it's gonna kill ya and eat up your soul
emerald city with a blue wall
fuck the police

we gotta take it back
everyone get up & lets go
around the globe it's outta hand

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
