When the sun goes down, out come the freaks,
Destructive little punk, breaking everything I see,
Creep in your house, and I'll piss on your couch,
Tag all your walls, tear the heads of your daughter's dolls,

Shave your cat's back is a must,
Then I'll wipe my ass with your favorite tooth brush,
Erase all the numbers on your cellie phone,
On my way out, toilet paper your home,

Shit in a bag, light it on fire,
You open the door there's a bad on fire,
Stomp out the flames, dookie on your feet,
It's all fun and games.

Don't scruba dub dub,'cause a I shit in your tub
I'm not a thief or a thug, I'll take a giggle and I laugh,
Leave your house trashed, Fieldog is the one who gets the last laugh

The freaks come out at night,
We ain't out to kill, we don't want to fight,
The freaks come out at night,
Right from wrong, wrong from right,
The freaks come out at night,
Breaking all the rules, this probably why were not right,
The freaks come out at night,
We do it for the thrill, to excite up our life

Trash can full of piss, leaned against your door,
Ding dong bitch, ain't that a bitch,
You got piss on your floor, haha,
We like to take from the rich, and give to the poor,

Throw your cat in the pool, put your dog in a tree,
Acting a fool, stupid as can be,
Breaking all the rules, child vigilante,
Meet me after school, but keep it low key,

Gotta play cool, got a fat sack of weed,
Lets get high so we can act dumb,
Got a brand new baby gun, I'm a go hide,
When someone walks by, shoot em in the bum,

Dumb as can be, always on the run,
Trying to have fun, child vigilante,
There goes the neighborhood, all because of me,
Don't know what to say, but fun is for me

The freaks come out at night,
We ain't out to kill, we don't want to fight,
The freaks come out at night,
Right from wrong, wrong from right,
The freaks come out at night,
Breaking all the rules, this probably why were not right,
The freaks come out at night,
We do it for the thrill, to excite up our life

My mom and dads gone, pull out the bong,
Turn that shit up, Fieldy's dreams,
That shit is the bomb, I'm gonna get high,
But my mom thinks it's wrong,
But my mom is gone, and my dad's at work,

So I'm out for the night, being a neighborhood jerk,
Back out on the street, backpack full of treats,
Someone's gonna get burnt , stuff a frog full of fire crackers,
Put em on your door step,

You open the door it smells like chicken breast,
Drive by shooting, that's not for me,
But I'll drive by, and egg your car,
Now that's just funny, haha,

If I get caught, I'll say it wasn't me,
Pouring salt on snails, shooting birds out of trees,
This ain't no fairy tale, this is just me,
The shit that I did, child vigilante

The freaks come out at night,
We ain't out to kill, we don't want to fight,
The freaks come out at night,
Right from wrong, wrong from right,
The freaks come out at night,
Breaking all the rules, this probably why were not right,
The freaks come out at night,
We do it for the thrill, to excite up our life

The freaks come out at night,
(the freaks, the freaks, the freaks, the freaks, the freaks, the freaks),
We ain't out to kill, we don't want to fight,
The freaks come out at night,
Right from wrong, wrong from right,
The freaks come out at night,
(the freaks, the freaks, the freaks, the freaks, the freaks, the freaks),
Breaking all the rules, this probably why were not right,
The freaks come out at night,
We do it for the thrill, to excite up our life
Oo-wat-ah-a

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
