This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
some times i feel the need to ask my landlord
just exactly when did god die and howdya get in the will?
and why is it that you own 7 homes and i own none?
and for some reason that means you get to rob me
on the first of every month, of every month
upon further investigation i find that land aquisition is just a result of genocide and war
and if we uphold the institution of land ownership
we are saying that it's acceptable to kill people just to take away their land
situations like these make me fall to my knees
i cannot comprehend what you don't understand x2
situations like these make me fall to my knees
its a simple matter of greed do you understand?
situations like these make me fall to my knees
its a simple matter of greed when its just a scam
its a pretty simple equation
theres 99 people like you for every cop landlord and politician
and if we learned to just say no
there'd be no more taxes no more work and we'd all own our own homes
we are all controlled x3 by fear
if you don't go to work everyday
if you don't pay your rent every month
if you don't pay your taxes every year
if you don't bow down to your fear
you will starve in the street
you will freeze in the street
you will die in the street
you will die in the street, alone
its a pretty simple equation its all about restitution
its all about reperation
its all about.. revolution
my life is mine
my time is mine
my life is mine and i dont work for you anymore
my life is mine
my time is mine
your house is mine and i dont pay you rent anymore
my life is mine
my time is mine
my money is mine and i wont pay taxes to fund your fucking war
situations like these make me fall to my knees
i cannot comprehend what you don't understand x2
situations like these make me fall to my knees
its a simple matter of greed do you understand?
situations like these make me fall to my knees
its a simple matter of greed when its just a scam
and if we really believe that it's okay to kill someone
just to take their shit
then i'm gonna go down to the pawnshop and buy myself a gun
cuz my landlord is on the top of list
situations like these make me fall to my knees
i cannot comprehend what you don't understand x2
situations like these make me fall to my knees
its a simple matter of greed do you understand?
situations like these make me fall to my knees
its a simple matter of greed when its just a scam
the indian's lost and this is the cost
the indian's lost rent is the cost
the indian's lost
just exactly when did god die and howdya get in the will?

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
