Watching anvils falling all around
And they break our bones when they hit the ground
The siren screams without a sound
So we numb ourselves with drink and drown
Got to clock in, bar code and name
Zeros and ones compose the game
And the roof's on fire but stops the rain
So clench your fist enjoy the pain
Think back to the ways of yesterdays
The "I" in team raised renegades
In punk rock clubs and razorblades
Where throwaway kids scream serenades

We lost control again
We lost control again
We lost control
Gotta find a way to make amends,
Rewrite the end ,
Take back what time has stole

We are the angry
The innocent
We are the hungry
The discontent
We are the marquee
The one percent
We are the bourgeoisie of arguments

Dropping down a well that time forgot
With scars that show that we care a lot
In the sky we dreamt like a juggernaut
Of the things we'd do and what we sought but
One by one we fall the same
How much to lose, not much to gain
So have your hope hop another train and
Bleach yourslef but the stain remains
Think back to the ways of yesterdays
When we never even had to get paid to play
Had a backpack filled with things to say
But the words have all been thrown away

We lost control again
We lost control again
We lost control
Gotta find a way to make amends,
Rewrite the end,
Take back what time has stole

We are the angry
The innocent
We are the hungry
The discontent
We are the marquee
The one percent
We are the bourgeoisie of arguments

We won't wait
We're the lost but we're found
We can't wait
Alarms are calling
We won't wait
We're not the fallen
The underground, you won't recognize us now

We are the angry
The innocent
We are the hungry
The discontent
We are the marquee
The one percent
We are the bourgeoisie of arguments

We lost control again
We lost control again
We lost control
Got a lost hope requiem
And we're wreckin' 'em
There's no use settling

So when will all the waiting end?
If we don't pretend like a shot gun awakening
To blow off the pinned-down limb,
Shed your skin cause they is shuddering

So tie off the bleeding end and start again
The streets are barreling
With no reason to reinvent our discontent
The sound grows deafening

We want control again
We want control again
We want control
Gotta find a way to make amends,
Rewrite the end,
Take back what time has stole

We are the angry
The innocent
We are the hungry
The discontent
We are the marquee
The one percent
We are the bourgeoisie of arguments

We won't wait
We're the lost but we're found
We can't wait
Alarms are calling
We won't wait
We're not the fallen
The underground, you won't recognize us now

We are the angry
The innocent
We are the hungry
The discontent
We are the marquee
The one percent
We are the bourgeoisie of arguments

We want control again
We want control again
We want control
The underground, you won't recognize us now

We want control again
We want control again
We want control
The underground, you won't recognize us now

    This is one of my favorite songs by them from Phoenix... I believe it is just another lost generation song, and great high school we don't give a shit song and we will make this our world when our chance come.

    Also I believe the the lyric is "to right the end" not "to fight the end"

    Also woo first post :D

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
