Cornered in the alleyway, back street kids live for today
We're kinda weird to you, you can't stand anything we do
We have the right to choose, 'cause were born to lose
We may be fucking sick, at least we know were free

My mind is not for rent, I won't listen to what you say
You better take a hard look, we are sick of your fucking rules
By the ink on my skin, you can see that im the real thing
Up the fucking punx, our sound is fucking strong

Proud to be punk
We don't give a fuck
Proud to be punk, whoa
Up the punx!

Cornered in the alleyway, back street kids live for today
We're kinda weird to you, you can't stand anything we do
We have the right to choose, 'cause were born to lose
We may be fucking sick, at least we know were free

My mind is not for rent, I won't listen to what you say
You better take a hard look, we are sick of your fucking rules
By the ink on my skin, you can see that im the real thing
Up the fucking punx, our sound is fucking strong

Proud to be punk
We don't give a fuck
Proud to be punk, whoa
Up the punx!

You can put us down, you can call us fucking names
Try to divide us by trying to classify us
Call me fucking names, tell me punk is dead
The more you try to bring us down the stronger we will get

Cornered in the alleyway, back street kids live for today
We're kinda weird to you, you can't stand anything we do
We have the right to choose, 'cause were born to lose
We may be fucking sick, at least we know were free

My mind is not for rent, I won't listen to what you say
You better take a hard look, we are sick of your fucking rules
By the ink on my skin, you can see that im the real thing
Up the fucking punx, our sound is fucking strong

Proud to be punk
We don't give a fuck
Proud to be punk, whoa
Up the punx!

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."
