The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Wind like to hurt folks with his power
The wind has power that you don't know
When you have power you will know it
(You will know)
You use that power on wind, on friend
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Nobody's paid the price like you have paid the price
You've paid the price twice
And I know there's a lot more price to go
Yes there is much more price
You've never paid the price like I have paid the price
I've paid the price thrice
Huge sum, there's a lot more price to come
Yes there is much more price to come
Price!
Some violence is good for morning
(Good for morning)
The sun will come up just so it sees
When it is morning you will know it
(You will know)
It looks at you wherever you'll be
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Fuck)
Nobody's paid the price like I have paid the price
I've paid the price twice
You know there's a lot more price to go
Yes there is much more price
I've never paid the price like you have paid the price
You've paid the price thrice
High sum, there's a lot more price to come
Yes there is much more price to come
To go, to come, go!
And just when you thought that your chips were down
We've got Bryan Adams on the phone
It's Bryan Adams on the phone
Bryan Adams on the phone, it's Bryan Adams on the phone, it's Bryan Adams on the phone, it's Bryan Adams
And just when you thought your vein would burst
It's a call for you, the phone, it's-
Bryan Adams on the phone
Bryan Adams on the phone, it's Bryan Adams on the phone, it's Bryan Adams on the phone, it's Bryan Adams
Now!
Death like to hurt friends with his power
(With his power)
The mouse and sand ran out to escape
They told the old clock said you'll know it
(You will know)
Despite the price, it's special today
Somebody's changed the price since you last paid the price
The price is not the same
And I blame all of the price that's left to go
All of the price that's left to pay
Somebody's raised the price since you last paid the price
The price was raised today
And I say you take price with all your violent might
Crash price into the earth
Oooooooooo
The wind has power that you don't know
When you have power you will know it
(You will know)
You use that power on wind, on friend
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Nobody's paid the price like you have paid the price
You've paid the price twice
And I know there's a lot more price to go
Yes there is much more price
You've never paid the price like I have paid the price
I've paid the price thrice
Huge sum, there's a lot more price to come
Yes there is much more price to come
Price!
Some violence is good for morning
(Good for morning)
The sun will come up just so it sees
When it is morning you will know it
(You will know)
It looks at you wherever you'll be
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Fuck)
Nobody's paid the price like I have paid the price
I've paid the price twice
You know there's a lot more price to go
Yes there is much more price
I've never paid the price like you have paid the price

High sum, there's a lot more price to come
Yes there is much more price to come
To go, to come, go!
And just when you thought that your chips were down
We've got Bryan Adams on the phone
It's Bryan Adams on the phone
Bryan Adams on the phone, it's Bryan Adams on the phone, it's Bryan Adams on the phone, it's Bryan Adams

Crash price into the earth

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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."

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
