So I say we'll catch this world on fire
We'll start a revolution
Can't you see it now
It will take all everyone's attention
To leave it all behind us
Can't you see it now

So we'll go undercover
Set a sight together
Make a path with only what we need to know
And we'll ride
We'll ride into the morning
And the sun will keep us clear from any ghosts in front of us

It's alright to change cause everyone else stays the same
It's alright to change when everyone else

So come on
We'll set it off, set it off from the start
To the top, to the top where we are
They'll say we're only making enemies
Whoa
We'll set it off, set it off from the start
To the top, to the top where we are
They'll say we're only making enemies

Hey can't you just see it
We'll be above it all when we change the world with each and every stone
And we'll build
We'll build it up together
Now it's all in motion
We can't let go this perfect symmetry

It's alright to change cause everyone else stays the same
It's alright to change when everyone else

So come on
We'll set it off, set it off from the start
To the top, to the top where we are
They'll say we're only making enemies
Whoa
We'll set it off, set it off from the start
To the top, to the top where we are
They'll say we're only making enemies

No
We'll never stop
Come on we'll never know
How far we'll go if we, if we knew
We'll never stop
Come on we'll never know

So I say we'll catch this world on fire
We'll start a revolution
Can't you see it now
It will take all everyone's attention
To leave it all behind us
Can't you see it now
Whoa

We'll set it off, set it off from the start
To the top, to the top where we are
They'll say we're only making enemies
Whoa

We'll set it off, set it off from the start
(So I say we'll catch this world on fire)
To the top, to the top where we are
(We'll start a revolution)
They'll say we're only making enemies
(Can't you see it now)

We'll set it off, set it off from the start
(So I say we'll catch this world on fire)
To the top, to the top where we are
(We'll start a revolution)
They'll say we're only making enemies
(Can't you see it now)

Whoa

We'll set it off, set it off from the start
(So I say we'll catch this world on fire)
To the top, to the top where we are
(We'll start a revolution)
They'll say we're only making enemies
(Can't you see it now)

It will take all everyone's attention
(We'll set it off, set it off from the start)
To leave it all behind us
(To the top, to the top where we are)
Can't you see it now
(They'll say we're only making enemies)

So I say we'll catch this world on fire
We'll start a revolution
Can't you see it now
It will take all everyone's attention
To leave it all behind us
Can't you see it now

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."

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
