This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Yes, it's true, I am a young man
But I'm old enough to kill
I don't wanna kill nobody
But I must if you so will
And if I raise my hand and question
You just say that I'm a fool
'Cause I got the gall to ask you
Can you maybe change the rule?
And you stand and call my upstart
Ask, what answer can I find?
I ain't saying I'm a genius
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind
Well, I knew a guy in high school
Just an average, friendly guy
And he had himself a girlfriend
And you made them say goodbye
Now he's buried in the mud
Off in foreign jungle land
And his girl just sits and cries
She just doesn't understand
So you say he died for freedom
Well, if he died to save your lies
Go ahead and call me yellow
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind
All I know is that I'm young
And your rules, they are old
If I've got to kill to live
Then there's something left untold
I'm no statesman, I'm no general
I know that I'll never be
It's the rules, not the soldiers
That are my real enemy
I'm no prophet, I'm no rebel
I'm just asking you "why?"
I just want a simple answer
Why it is I've got to die
I'm a simple-minded guy
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind
But I'm old enough to kill
I don't wanna kill nobody
But I must if you so will
And if I raise my hand and question
You just say that I'm a fool
'Cause I got the gall to ask you
Can you maybe change the rule?
And you stand and call my upstart
Ask, what answer can I find?
I ain't saying I'm a genius
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind
Well, I knew a guy in high school
Just an average, friendly guy
And he had himself a girlfriend
And you made them say goodbye
Now he's buried in the mud
Off in foreign jungle land
And his girl just sits and cries
She just doesn't understand
So you say he died for freedom
Well, if he died to save your lies
Go ahead and call me yellow
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind
All I know is that I'm young
And your rules, they are old
If I've got to kill to live
Then there's something left untold
I'm no statesman, I'm no general
I know that I'll never be
It's the rules, not the soldiers
That are my real enemy
I'm no prophet, I'm no rebel
I'm just asking you "why?"
I just want a simple answer
Why it is I've got to die
I'm a simple-minded guy
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
This is said to be the first anti-Vietnam song commercially released, beating CCR's "Fortunate One" by a full year.
Awesome song.
Bob Seger is one of the very best song writer singers ever . Saw him at a garage party 1967 performing barefooted , ever since I nicknamed him barefoot Bobby , so many hits and songs that didn’t get the radio play but did in the Detroit area . Most under rated singer ever . SUPER STAR all the way .
