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.
(Intro)
I thought that because I was getting older perhaps my sexual drive was going away because of that but
I just think it’s a different reason and I’m just gonna roll with that that’s the way how I feel so I’m just gonna let yall know
(Verse)
Just for the hell of it I’ll become celibate no more hands will I use to masturbate
Some of yall laugh and some of yall hate not being able to fall in love perhaps it’s faith
Perhaps this is a sign to not find a mate sexual healing it’s a dirty feeling falling in love yes it has no reason
Dick to Virginia it has no meaning tight pink butthole it has no feeling just call me the black Monk yes I feel the funk
Yall celebrate with me if yall don’t well then I’ll know you’re close-minded just try to keep an open-mind
Open up your eyes and don’t be blind and you’ll understand that the truth I’ll find R,E,H,D,O double G yes it’s all mines
(Chorus 2 times)
Just for the hell of it helleridge never have to sell a brick again must I tell a bitch again
The bullshit I’m addressing check mostly next level shit never been fucked in the game I’m celibate
(Verse)
Celibate means not to marry or no sex for religious reasons how hard can it be to be asexual
It takes unusual extreme things to get me hard simple blow jobs and penetration don’t really get me off
Parents never showed love just an asshole of a father who took abuse of the kids and the mother
Cheated on everyone that he could so eventually it disturbed me damaged psychologically in my mind
And that’s why I can’t keep any relationships for a long time that’s just the way that it is
And if I do and it’s gone I say fuck it that’s just the way it’s supposed to be in my head I’m fucked up seriously
(Chorus 2 times)
Just for the hell of it helleridge never have to sell a brick again must I tell a bitch again
The bullshit I’m addressing check mostly next level shit never been fucked in the game I’m celibate
(Verse)
Just for the hell of it I’ll become celibate no more hands will I use to masturbate
Some of yall laugh and some of yall hate not being able to fall in love is that faith
Perhaps this is a sign not find a mate sexual healing it has a dirty feeling for me falling in love yes it has no reason Dick to Virginia has no meaning tight pink butthole it has no feeling just call me the black Monk celibating means not to marry or no sex for religious reasons how hard can it be to be asexual

I don’t care that’s just the way I am

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."
