Because I'm tired of maturity
Airport insecurity
Runnin from the thought police
Fightin with the go-betweens
Hold up let me steal a breath
Cause we're dealin with identity theft

You need an education
I don't see why I got to
You need a good degree
As to assimilate
So little time so much to be bored by
If no one trod along Harvard lawn
No one'd make a nuclear bomb
They don't teach you how to care Empathisin if you dare
Euthanize your sense of fair play
Better to obey
No child is free why it's queasy to see
Is that an elementary or a penitentiary huh geez
Get off my back beat it take it to town
Man idiots go to college to get dumbed down

Oh it leaves you bereft oh identiy theft
I may be wrong I don't know why
I may be wrong but I'll try

Because I'm sick of the insanity Watchin horny manatee
Feelin like a libertine dealin with the death machine
Hold em up it's a street arrest
And we're dealin with identity theft

You need a publication
I don't see why I got to
You need a press release
As to assimilate
Journo-fascist profiteers
pornotastic pioneers
Bonbonbastic puppeteers
Get away from me
How can you write what we read
That ain't my reality
You disabuse humanity humility and fealty
Oh you guess you got an edge
Hiding your hedge from the feds
Puttin down the little veg
Ignorance is a right not a privilege
I'm finished done and had it and while you f**ks are at it
As far as I'm concerned Pluto's still a planet

Oh you die a quick death
oh identity theft
I may be wrong I don't know why
I may be wrong but I'll try

Because I'm sick of all the sabotage Where's my female entourage
Lookin for some kinda closure
All I'm findin is Ray Bolger
Hold up hell yeah I'll confess
Cause we're dealin with identity theft

You need an occupation
I don't see why I got to
You need a boss to please
Blah blah blah blah blah you're late
Yakety yak don't look wack
Nellie you're a heart attack
Murder murder on the wall
Who's the butchest one of all
Where'd you get that vegan dress
a flea market
Oops I forgot you design for target
Shun violence and religion
Don't ever play with nuns
But I punched a man on Broadway just to watch him cry
Every guy I went to try said I fight him but I can't think why
Bent unhinged and singed I cringe to watch the main event
But in the end there's no success like revenge

Oh it leaves you bereft
Oh identity theft
I may be wrong I don't know why
I may be wrong but I'll try

Because I'm tired of the hypocrisy
Is it them or is it me
If Jesus Christ is left in ruin
Satan buddy how you doin
Hold em up it's a street arrest
And we're dealin with identity theft
Because I'm tired of being sweet and nice
F**k you once and f**k you twice
Show your passport get that stamp Funny like a Nazi camp
Hold em up hell yeah I'll confess
Cause we're dealin with identity theft

    Epic song. I think it's about the flaws of society, the crazy laws and securities, trying to dumb down and control most of the people and use the clever ones to do the dirty work. Something like that. Nellie is awesome.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
