Let's go to class to kick your ass,
You're not to sure if you can last
Without going back to your work
But it's alright 'cause you'll be trying not to die
And you'll be trying not to lie
'cause you'll be sitting next to her.
Well, baby, I don't mind.

So you thought your name was called
From half way down the hall
From the dude with a basketball in his hand.
And you think he might be waiting
But behind him is your raven
Singing "Nevermore" I'm laying him down.
Well baby, I don't mind
'cause it's not hard to be spending my time
With someone who will let me go, don't care no more.
I just want to get out of here to play some rock and roll...

It's a high school rock out,
It's a fucking knock out here,
And nobody cares.
So, everybody scream at the top of your lungs
'cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody really cares.

Well, it's prom night again,
Be polite to my friends
'cause we like to pretend that we're cool
And that's just fine.
We like the music
'cause the rock and roll enthusiasts
And bands are having a hell of a time.
And it makes me go crazy, out of my mind.
Just what am I doing here,
Wasting my time with someone who will let me go,
Don't care no more?
I just want to get out of here to play some rock and roll, oh baby...

It's a high school rock out,
It's a fucking knock out here,
And nobody cares. So, everybody scream at the top of your lungs
'cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody really cares.

Well, the song is sung and all is done
And everyone is having fun
But in comes Mr.Sad-as-can-be.
And he's got problems up the wall
But nobody cares at all
Because we don't want to catch his disease.
But it's cool 'cause everybody says...

It's a high school rock out,
It's a fucking knock out here,
And nobody cares. So, everybody scream at the top of your lungs
'cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody ...

It's a high school rock out,
It's a goddamn knock out here,
And nobody cares. So, everybody scream at the top of your lungs
'cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody really cares.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
