My approach to danger
Political sabotage for death in front of abortion clinics
The American pastime is murder at high schools
And pipe bombs at the Olympics

Hate crimes in federal buildings, terrorism abroad
Killing children, now they all Atheists
Unlawful Aryans with Matthew Hale
Want wars of race to make space

The confrontation is global
Then it's apartheid became the suicide bicoastal
So much drama and stress inside the world for real
Got God looking through his bifocals

I'm ready to die give me the word
I'm ready to shoot
I'm ready to kill my enemies and put 'em in a body bag
While I'm looking at the President and burning the flag

What!

Go against the grain, break the chains
Get out escape from the killing fields
With the power to form storms
I'm gonna hit 'em with rage and keep on

Go against the grain, break the chains
Get out escape from the killing fields
With the power to form storms
I'm gonna hit 'em with rage and keep on

You in a dominion of Holy War
Tension keep the Jews and Palestinians hard core
This is Biblical conspiracy
Written in religion to keep the world in division

Listen in the streets they collide, turn rivers to blood
And peace treaties to napalm theories
Governmental to presidential they lie
America still high, the killers they multiply

This is final defcon of the Omega
Denominations gang bang for their savior
The wicked supersede the lost system
With diplomatic immunity to murder your community

I'm ready to die, give me the word
I'm ready to shoot
I'm ready to kill my enemies and put 'em in a body bag
While I'm looking at the President and burning the flag

What!

Go against the grain, break the chains
Get out escape from the killing fields
With the power to form storms
I'm gonna hit 'em with rage and keep on

Go against the grain, break the chains
Get out escape from the killing fields
With the power to form storms
I'm gonna hit 'em with rage and keep on

Stand and deliver me
Strike my enemies and break the teeth of the wicked
Stand and deliver me
Strike my enemies and break the teeth of the wicked
Stand and deliver me
Strike my enemies and break the teeth of the wicked
Stand and deliver me from this c'mon, c'mon

Stand and deliver me
Strike my enemies and break the teeth of the wicked
Stand and deliver me
Strike my enemies and break the teeth of the wicked
Stand and deliver me
Strike my enemies and break the teeth of the wicked
Stand and deliver me from this c'mon, c'mon

Go against the grain, break the chains
Get out escape from the killing fields
With the power to form storms
I'm gonna hit 'em with rage and keep on

Go against the grain, break the chains
Get out escape from the killing fields
With the power to form storms
I'm gonna hit 'em with rage and keep on

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,

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.
