Anything we should know about your change?
Are you looking for the truth or another fight?
If you're wanna give me what I want, then give it up tonight.
Freedom, and looking for the,
And looking for the fight.
If you're wanna give me what I want, then give it up tonight.

The world that circles around me could benefit from silence.
This song is my enemy, watch how I become it.
Cradled by mystery and make believe,
I am fully(?) in the other night.
Children wish upon me,
This man and his army,
Praying that fortresses make you guns of steeples,
Insurgents of people,
Messiahs and immigrants detained at the border.
Severed from his trinity, his wife and his daughter.

America the beautiful, now beheaded hoedown.
Lynched birds throw down,
It seems our favorite pastime has become our most fair future.
Technology has failed us,
Gunshots by computer.

Gunshots by computer.
Gunshots by computer.
Gunshots by computer.
Gunshots by computer.

Are you looking for the truth or another fight?
If you're wanna give me what I want, then give it up tonight.
Freedom, and looking for the, and looking for the fight.
If you're gonna give me what I want, then give it up tonight.
Are you looking for the truth or another fight?
If you're wanna give me what I want, then give it up tonight.
Freedom, and looking for the, and looking for the fight.
If you're wanna give me what I want, then give it up tonight.

Gunshots by computer.
Gunshots by computer.
Gunshots by computer.
Gunshots by computer.
Gunshots by computer.
Gunshots by computer.
Gunshots by computer.
Gunshots by computer.

    People are so fucking stupid.

    The song goes:

    "AIN'T lookin for no fight." the words on this page contradict the meaning of the song...

    and how do you listen to 'Lynchburg' and hear 'lynched birds' it makes no fucking sense.

    and it's 'NAPPY HEADED HOE DOWN'

    and 'THE MESSIAH IS AN IMMIGRANT DETAINED AT THE BORDER'

    How can you be so confused about so many lyrics, and still submit them to a site such as this?

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”

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,
