We are given this knife, now we're taking their life
The pact is made, we sold our souls for nothing more
The strands of life were once frayed and now we're sacred and afraid
Living out the dreams that seem to be delayed

Que somos libre' pero un cancer
You say that you have found the answer
The future's not for me, in your society
The light you see is never what it seems to be

Confusion, illusion
The nation that you took from me is one in which I won't burn
Because you won't learn
That this is my turn to return

You can't sell us what you steal
We won't buy what isn't real, eh-eh-eh
Our lives aren't secure
Our hearts won't endure
Fuck you and your
Ways

Y mi futuro es negro, que yo soy un peligro
The vision that is sold just never seems to grow
The life that you cannot mold, tú dices que es tu dolor
The fact is played, the story's old, I'm fucking cold

To be like you and have your actions
To buy into the new perceptions
Of how my life should be, the vision I should see
The future and the light is not what seems to be

Confusion, illusion
The nation that you took from me is one in which I won't burn
Because you won't learn
That this is my turn to return

You can't sell us what you steal
We won't buy what isn't real, eh-eh-eh
Our lives aren't secure
Our hearts won't endure
Fuck you and your

Ways
Fuck you and all your ways
(Fuck you and all your ways) Re-re-re-re-
Revolución, revolution
Revolución, revolution
Revolución, revolution
Revolución, revolution
Revolución, revolution
Revolución, re-

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."

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
