this whole world's in a rush to be living plush, but never rich enough,
till that mirrors such a stranger we asking is it us?
losing your vision, make one stupid decision,
you've become the newest victim of the human condition
it's a crying shame; honestly it's a survival game,
while we die in vein making somebody rich,
like we scared of taking that step,
every days just another that escaped us if we don't make an affect,
back seat revolutionaries ain't lions at heart,
even the slightest of sparks can light up the dark,
and everybody want a piece of the action,
like peace and relaxing become a niche for the deceased and the lacking,
success, pleasures of the flesh and beheld,
treasures and the endless excess in which we measure ourselves,
i've faith in my fam, so i can relate to the fans,
hope they understand how grateful i am

c'mon
we do it right here, right now,
with my peers, my house,
and fight here till the day we're gone and rest in white clouds,
life here, life out,
if i'm a die here with my doubt's,
then as night nears we're gonna do it till they turn the lights out

right here, right now,
with my peers, my house,
and fight here till the day we're gone and rest in white clouds,
life here, life out,
if i'm a die here with my doubt's,
then as night nears we're gonna do it till they turn the lights out

and it starts with us, seeking an everlasting rush,
pharmaceutical market drugs, liquor or grass and dust,
murder, lust, self-worth, hurt and trust,
burden us like a curse till we turn to dust,
keeping us on like we're marching to the beat of a gong,
freedom is from our own hearts and those we leave them upon,
lingering on through the words that we sing in our songs,
even a strong foundation we could blink and it's gone,
so we carve out our marks and master our own path,
in a castle of glass our hearts where our homes are,
wars in our vein, that's why we walk in the rain,
of course if the name burns brighter it was forged in the flame,
and you'll never get a break until your dead or make fifty,
and a pension ain't a pay you resonate with me?
i've faith in my fam, so i can relate to the fans,
i hope they understand how grateful i am

c'mon
we do it right here, right now,
with my peers, my house,
and fight here till the day we're gone and rest in white clouds,
life here, life out,
if i'm a die here with my doubt's,
then as night nears we're gonna do it till they turn the lights out

right here, right now,
with my peers, my house,
and fight here till the day we're gone and rest in white clouds,
life here, life out,
if i'm a die here with my doubt's,
then as night nears we're gonna do it till they turn the lights out

c'mon
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, till it's lights out
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, somebody say
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, till it's lights out
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go
c'mon
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, till it's lights out
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go
we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, no we won't go, till it's lights out

Fast Car
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 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."

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.
