The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
And they wanted to know
If I would trade ten juggalos for 100 mainstream fans
And I said "I wouldn't trade ten juggalos for a 100,000 mainstream fans"
Ten juggalos is priceless to me
I gots love for my homies, members of the Lotus
United we stand, squashin' all deadly forces
Been to Hell, could of spent eternity there
All the bad shit I've done I should still be there
Juggalos can you feel me, worldwide?
Runnin' with a hatchet straight out the Lotus Pod
Always got your back till the end screamin' juggalo
Dark Lotus, Psychopathic that's the way it go
So many people in the Matrix die alone, hey
Not me, my soul belongs to juggalos, they
Keep me going when I'm down and out
I pick up the phone up
Drop 'em a line, and hear 'em shout
Sayin' Twiztid is the shit, and I'm down with the clown
Dark Lotus for life until I'm dead in the ground
I give a dap to all my homies, and killas who get it started
All my juggalos always represent for the departed
Mass murder makes me happy
Dead bodies make me happy
Say what you will of me
I'll always have juggalo family
Mass murder makes me happy
Dead bodies make me happy
Say what you will of me
I'll always have juggalo family
Six individual petals
Fall from one stem
Ain't tryin' to ride no wave
And don't follow any trends
Cause we ascend from the dirt, filth, grit, and grime
Then combine juggalo minds to crush mainstream shines
What's yours is mine
And what's mines is yours
Let the wagons of the Dark Carnival
Show you different worlds
Any hoes front as juggalos or the hatchet
Tell 'em come suck on your dick, we Psychopathic
All my life
I've been livin' it all alone
I'm like a king with no people
And no crown, or a throne
And what I'm speakin' on
Is what I'm feelin' like
Do you know what it's like
To feel the warmth of the sunlight?
I'd really like to know
Cause I've been chillin' in the dark
For so many years
That I question love in my heart
I hate everyone
And I hate everything
Except for all the juggalos
And all the love that they bring (I love y'all)
Mass murder makes me happy
Dead bodies make me happy
Say what you will of me
I'll always have juggalo family
Mass murder makes me happy
Dead bodies make me happy
Say what you will of me
I'll always have juggalo family
Let me get your ear
I'ma make myself clear
It's D L family juggalos righ-tchere
You can take away my mic
You can take away this life
But the love that we got
It ain't ever gonna stop
We eternal, past this earthly bullshit
Dogs on another level
Can you feel this?
It's Twiztid, Blaze, and ICP
And if you fuckin with my dogs boy you D.I.E.!
If it wasn't for Shaggy
My shirt would still be baggy
I wouldn't be fat
I'd still be hungry and crabby
We used to buy our own records at the stores
So they would think it was a hot seller, and order more
But we built a team
Killers with the same dream
We couldn't reach the top
We'd stay B level like Charlie Sheen
Finally realized we'll always have the juggalos
I'll never give another second to them other hoes
Mass murder makes me happy
Dead bodies make me happy
Say what you will of me
I'll always have juggalo family
Mass murder makes me happy
Dead bodies make me happy
Say what you will of me
I'll always have juggalo family
Mass murder makes me happy
Dead bodies make me happy
Say what you will of me
I'll always have juggalo family
Mass murder makes me happy
Dead bodies make me happy
Say what you will of me
I'll always have juggalo family
Lotus!
Lotus!

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."
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.
No Surprises
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.
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.
this line sez it all : And they wanted to know If I would trade ten juggalos for 100 mainstream fans And I said "I wouldn't trade ten juggalos for a 100,000 mainstream fans" Ten juggalos is priceless to me
Violent J just put shit how it is. Juggalos are family.
