My friends, they're really all that I wanted anyway. All I need to get me through today! I've got a little money, but not enough to go around. And spending it all up doesn' make me happy when I'm down. I watch the T.V., and the lady on the news. Giving me the blues, for it I have no use. I've got my friends all around, you know they make me feel good. Never have to worry if they're up to no good. They're always, always there. There to help me out. If you ever need me, just give me a shout. But if a low-eye check ya, I step up to the front. They've got to get through me if a fight is what they want. I may be not tough, but with my friends I am enough. Yeah, me and my friends don't deal with that stuff. On the radio or on the phone, you hear more about it when you are alone. I know more about it at the end of the day. I look at what I've got and I just have to say...We want to see you up out of your seat. Ruskabank is here to make the beat sound so sweet. Yeah, at the scene now, we rock it all the time. Everybody knows that we rule every rhyme. 'Cause if a low eye check ya, I don't know why. Punch you in the jimmy, and they punch me in the eye. I don't know why, don't know why they do that stuff. They've got to be rough, they've got to be rough.

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."
