This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
So it starts
With the kicking of your heart
The clenched fist of your will
If you'd love to rip this fucking place apart I'm right behind you still
What will you do now?
What will people think
Now that Christians bought up hardcore and Disney owns the punk scene?
Congratulations to you I guess
What else can I say
You're right I'm amazed you show up ten years too late
You sure as hell won't stay
This isn't defamation
This is your orientation
Nothing says rebellion
Like buying in
Buy up all you can
With the kicking of your heart
The clenched fist of your will
If you'd love to rip this fucking place apart I'm right behind you still
What will you do now?
What will people think
Now that Christians bought up hardcore and Disney owns the punk scene?
Congratulations to you I guess
What else can I say
You're right I'm amazed you show up ten years too late
You sure as hell won't stay
This isn't defamation
This is your orientation
Nothing says rebellion
Like buying in
Buy up all you can

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
With lyrics at the end added:

You're selling me hope On the promise of change There's one thing I know: That this ship can't be saved This ship can't be saved
Cash out! Nothing says rebellion! Cash out! Nothing says rebellion! Cash out! Nothing says rebellion! Cash out!
Hey, thanks for posting the rest of the lyrics!<br /> What I posted was all the album booklet had :)
Well... Sounds like Matty Good is pissed haha. Idk seems pretty straight forward to me.
Christians do own Hardcore pretty much... As I Lay Dying... Attack Attack... Disney and punk.... Jonas Brothers.... Puke He's just talking about how the scene is totally sell out now... Nothing says rebellion like selling out right?
Yeah, I agree. It is pretty straight forward. Starts off with feeling the emotion of the music and feeling the real emotions that start this scene, but it's too late to be apart of it as it is now filled with sellouts. Disney owning Punk? Christians running Hardcore? That's an oxymoron right there. I dunno if any of these artists meant to do it, but they're selling out their own scene. We have UnderOATH, Norma Jean, Oh, The Sleeper, Maylene, and Solid State Records, for example, acting as messengers to promote their religion. We also have Disney promoting their image through punk. I personally don't know any Disney bands cause I avoid that garbage but I'm taking a guess here and thinking that's what they are doing. Just a side note, even the people that work at the Vatican agree that the Bible is just stories and fairytales and will just let you believe in their BS because of how convinced religious people are... crazies. So we have bands promoting their crazy religious beliefs and companies using an image for dollars. And now the scene is flooded with people who join to sell out. At this rate, there is no hope because people forgot what this was about.
no sense that this song a such a little number of comments , the line "Now that Christians bought up hardcore and Disney owns the punk scene?" is really epic , , they have grown up on the lyrics , and throne to the wolves is probably their best album
