If I could take this skin off I'd trade it for your riches
I'd just watch the sick turn into the witches
Well I sit and wait, a call of arms to the bodies deceived
Well I just sit and wait, till your eyes believe in little school

To S.O.S.

Paranoia pays for your freedom
Paranoia pays

Well I just sit and wait, everybody frees them
Just how does it feel?
'Cause I just sit and wait, everybody frees them
Till the body's healed

We don't need no more of your observations
'Cause we sit and hide under the robe
We don't need no more of your observations
We just feel alive under the robe

The liberation posted up the signs
And every girl in this fuckin' house is on the pill
I had to turn my fucking skin inside out just for you

Said sit and wait, thought you're gonna make some
Fuck pig like you
Said I'm the sick one baby
With the right abuse in little school

Well S.O.S.

Paranoia pays for your freedom
Paranoia pays

Don't read the signs, everybody frees them
The signs, everybody feeds them
The signs, everybody frees them
No sign

We don't need no more of your observations
'Cause we sit and hide under the robe
We don't need no more of your observations
We just feel alive under the robe

Paid for
Paranoia pays for your freedom
Population pays
Paid for

The S.O.S.

We're under robed that'll pay for freedom
We're under robed that'll pay for freedom
We're under robed that'll pay for, that'll pay for
That'll be the robe and pay for your freedom
Freedom, punish that pig

    This was one of my favorite songs off "We have come for your parents".

    It seems to be about how the government and the 'Christian right-wing' controls the American people by creating fear and paranoia, which is especially true right now, with the "War on Terror" being used as an excuse to strip away the rights of the American people.

    Luckily for me, I don't live in America.

    lol, yeah, I know what you mean, I just think thatin some cases, it gives the music and the words more depth, when you know what they are angry about.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
