You can close you eyes and pretend that everything's fine
but sooner or later you'll open your eyes
and reality will strike you blind
They're stealing all our money
and desroying all our scene
We're working hard to make them rich
with their get rich corporate schemes
We won't submit
They're full of shit
I'd rather die
Then live a lie
You bust your ass every week
you think that you are free
I want to take a fuckin' gun
and shoot them in the head
cause I won't rest until the day
that I look out and see
the lawyers and the politicians
all lying around dead
Punks unite, show some might
don't go down without a fight
don't backdown, stand your ground
Let's go out and burn this town
we'll skank all night at the sight
of the city burning bright
All around you'll hear the sound
of the town burning down
Open your eyes, you work for the system
You're a tool, I can't take the lies
And if you believe them you're a fool
Can't you hear the cries
from the working class
the ones you rule
and you cannot hide
because we'll find you
It's time for us to fight
against everything that you stand for
Time to feel our might
gonna kick your ass and even the score
Burn everything in sight
break all of your windows
loot your stores
Gonna start tonight
We're hard to the core
It's time for you to pay
for the rotten shit that you have done
We won't fade away
our hate will burn you like the sun
We will seize the day
it's time for us to have some fun
We are here to stay
until we've fuckin won
We're running out into the streets
to pick up sticks and stones
We'll wait outside your fuckin' house
and break your fuckin' bones
We won't listen to reason
cause it makes no sense at all
We will bring you fuckin' down
and make you fuckin' fall

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
