too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, you were never even there
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, now i just dont fucking care!

hello dear father you did a hell of a job
i sit and ponder wondering what the fuck is wrong
heres some toys, give this check to your mom
cause if i dont pay, the judge wont let daddy come

too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, you were never even there
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, now i just dont fucking care!

the marriage vows are such a fucking joke
how many times can one person have and hold
sickness and health means nothing to me
we are the future of this dysfunctional society

too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, you were never even there
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, now i just dont fucking care!

pack your bags and leave the family you built
i hope youre feeling lots of lonliness and guilt
so many fuck and knock there girlfriends up
desert your family and let your kids raise themselves

HEY DAD FUCK YOU

    So self explanitory, but the best song that they've ever done.

    It means a lot to people who can relate, especially.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
