Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah

Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
'Fore we see it, you take it

Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin'
This ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no, no, no

Inflation no chance
To increase the finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Oh, make me wanna holler

Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah

Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
Honey that I can't pay my taxes
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yeah, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands

Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah

Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading

Oh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Hey, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands

Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah

Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah

Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
Honey that I can't pay my taxes
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading

Oh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Yeah, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands

Make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands

Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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
Ed Sheeran
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.
