Lightbulbs breaking and darkness falls
And street kids setting off car alarms
They're going off, they're going off

Running the streets, we gonna take it all
Late at night in Montreal
And we're high as fuck on the alcohol
Hold to something and try not to fall

So Time Again Punx and we all unite
Out in Montreal and we're looking for a fight

Lightbulbs breaking and darkness falls
And street kids setting off car alarms
They're going off, they're going off

On St. Catherines with Virginia, Sam and Frank
We are going crazy and hit you like a tank
And when we're done, we'll do it again
One more night going out after with friends

And when we get back, back to Montreal
We gonna take it over, we gonna take it all

Lightbulbs breaking and darkness falls
And street kids setting off car alarms
They're going off, they're going off

    This song is always going to remind me of when I went to go see Rancid in Montreal. =] No riots or anything but hanging out on St. Catherines street was fun.

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."

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.
