They thought it was cool to burn crosses in your front lawn
As they hung you from tree's in your backyard

They thought it was cool to leave you thirsty and stranded, Katrina!

He thought it was cool to carry a gun in his classroom and open fire
Virgina Tech, Columbine, stop the violence!

They thought it was cool to tear down the projects
And put up million dollar condo's, gentrification

They think its cool to stand on the block hidin' product in their socks
Making quick dime bag dollars

They think its cool to ride down on you in blue and white unmarked cars
Bustin' you upside your head

Freeze
'Cause the problem is we think its cool to
Check your ingredients before you overdose on the cool

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
