This is where we stand!

A second glance,
A second chance at
(A falling point, to end this war!)
And if I see another kid with,
(The bruises from his father's hands!)
We'll cry out for (those who are),
Raped by hands in cowardly disgust.

Hey! Hey! We are at war!

Execute, persecute, consider this a war,
Against abusing kids with no defense.
Hear their desperate cries!
No more!
Heal our souls with pride and dignity!

There's no place in our history,
Hey! Hey! We are the kids!
Found out, found out the hard way.
There's no place in our history,
Hey! Hey! We are the kids!
Found out, found out the hard way.

They say we've lost our faith!
(They say we've lost our faith!)
We say, "Fuck you, we're brave!"
(Fuck you, we're brave!)
We've spent our lives,
Losing our hopes.
Now's the time we say,
"Fuck you, we're all we need!"
Now's the time that we say,
"Fuck you, we're all we need!"
Now's the time that we say,
"Fuck you, we're all we need!"
Now's the time that we say,
"Fuck you, we're all we need!"
Now's the time that we say,
"Fuck you, we're all we need!"

We've spent our lives,
Losing our hopes,
Now's the time we say,
"Fuck you, we're all we need!"

There's no place in our history,
Hey! Hey! We are the kids!
Found out, found out the hard way.
There's no place in our history,
Hey! Hey! We are the kids!
Found out, found out the hard way.

    This is a great song against the violence on kids, by their parents. I think some members of underminded were abused when they were kids and thats why they're saying "we are the kids, that found out the hard way". And being abused made them lose their faith in God, they say "We've spent our lives, losing our hopes." They feel God didn't do anything to protect them from getting abused and thats whay they say "Fuck you, we're all we need", referring to their friends and fellow band members.

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."

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
