Last man to the bottome
Last man to the bottom
Last man to the bottom
I consider myself free

Run run run outside
Keep your head uncovered
Get that kid outside
Are you out of your mind?
You're free!

Watch your mouth
And watch your television
If something don't look right
Dial 1 800 YOU'RE FREE

Free
You're Free

Run run run outside
Get your hair colored
Hang that thing outside
Are you out of your mind?
You're free!

Watch the sky
And yell at television
If something don't look right
Dial 1 800 YOU'RE FREE

Free
You're Free

    OSI's 'Free' album's only political song.

    To put it simply, the lyrics are basically about not really living in a free society: you have to watch what you say, watch lots of television (that tells you what to buy, like, dislike, etc.); and if anything manages to get out of its way (i.e.: frees itself), just dial 1-800-YOU'RE FREE. That dial part is obviously about political and corporal entities marketing 'freedom' as a form of propaganda, when in fact they're all about the opposite.

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.

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
