Never took a punch
In the ribcage sonny
Never met a soul
Who had no shrine
Keep this all in your mind
And get it inside my window

What do we become
Trying to kill each other?
You're faking it son
Gonna get you tonight
I suck another breath
To the hearts of the Revolution
Cause you still ain't right

Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
I bet you can't see it
Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
I bet you can't see it

Can't see the signs
Of a real change a commin'
Take another sip
From your hobo's wine
Get yourself a million miles
From this concrete jungle

This is a time
Full of fear full of anger
A hero's exchange for a telephone line
Whatever happened to the
Youth of this generation?
Cause you still ain't right

Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
I bet you can't see it
Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why
Oh why

The rivers of the pavement
Are flowing now with blood
The children of the future
Are drowning in the flood

Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why
I don't know why

In this social chaos
There's violence in the air
Gotta keep your wits about you
Be careful not to stare
Oh oh oh oh

Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
(I bet you can't see it)
Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why
Oh why
I bet you can't see it

    Yay first comment. I think this is about how our society has become a bunch of soul-less, heartless, heard of sheep full of fear.

    The rivers on the pavement might be double meaning to river phoenix? (R.I.P)

    Never took a punch In the ribcage sonny = violence in society Never met a soul Who had no shrine=reference to how everyone has FB (?) Take another sip From your hobo's wine = how people are displaced by poverty A heroe's exchange for a telephone line = people fighting for an internet connection, fighting over the internet?

    apart from those rubbish potential meanings, I really don't know

    IMO this song is more to Black Eyed Peas' Where Is The Love? influence....

    just look at to the lyric:

    Where did all the love go? I don't know, I don't know

    and this BEP lyrics:

    Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know) Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)

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."

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
