When you're out with your friends
In your new Mercedes-Benz
And you're on drugs
And you show up late for school
'Cause you think you're really cool
And you're on drugs
And you put on your headphones
And you step into the zone
And you're on drugs
But the world don't care
If you are or are not there
'Cause you're on drugs

Give it to me
We are all on drugs
Yeah, never get enough
(Never get enough)
We are all on drugs
Yeah, give me some of that stuff
(Woo)

And you twitch in your seat
'Cause you wanna hit the street
When you're on drugs
And you cause such a fuss
'Cause there's no one you can trust
When you're on drugs
And the best of your days
Will all vanish in the haze
When you're on drugs
And you wish you could quit
'Cause you're really sick of it
But you're on drugs

Give it to me
We are all on drugs
Yeah, never get enough
(Never get enough)
We are all on drugs
Yeah, give me some of that stuff
(Woo)

I want to reach a higher place
Where things will never be the same
Oh

[SOLO]

Give it to me
We are all on drugs
Yeah, never get enough
(Never get enough)
We are all on drugs
Yeah, give me some of that stuff
(Woo)

We are all on drugs
(We are all on drugs)
We are all on drugs
(We are all on drugs)
We are all on drugs
(We are all on drugs)
We are all on drugs
(Woo)

    It amuses me so much when people who are guessing turn their guesses into facts, and say with a smart tone, "Rivers had a drug addiction problem, but now he quit... blah blah." Interesting, interesting. Yes, Rivers tried a lot of drugs, He's just one of those rock stars. I guess it doesn't hurt to read interviews, or perhaps Rivers' Edge, but if you don't have time, or stuff like that, which is understandable, just don't say things like that. You're just wring, stop pretending you know. Anyway, this is not Weezer's greatest song. It's weird that people would think so, Rivers wrote stuff that's much better. It's not their worst song either, it's catchy and it's fun. They say that people love this song when they play it live, too. And as for how Rivers wrote it, this is what he said, "I was living in an apartment above the Sunset Strip, and every Friday and Saturday night I’d hear people cruising and partying, and hooting and hollering. And I went to sleep one night and I heard those sounds all through the night, in my dreams. I had this dream about a kid on the Metro bus, blasting hip hop into his brain through his headphones. And the music sounded so decadent and overstimulating, and I woke up in the midst of that dream, in a haze, and immediately said to myself, “Man, we’re all on drugs!” And I instantly knew that would be a cool song." And maybe I can add that Brian said, "I think it’s a great song because it’s not saying anything positive or negative about drugs." :)

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
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.
