| MGMT – The Youth Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Not to pict on emily14 anymore, but wow, what an angry person... The real reason that I wanted to post was to say how much I like the "are you together?" line. Someone above posted that they thought this might be about relationships...could be, but I doubt it. I think it's more likely about composure? As in, "keep it together." It kind of sucks to grow up now--how could you not be disaffected. It just seems futile to try to change the world sometimes. Very thought provoking. (In emily14's defense, booze, waves, and tears are liquids, generally speaking. So, clearly, is her brain.) |

| M.I.A. – 10 Dollar Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Yeah, duodenum and PenguinBoy got it. Sure, there are elements of child prostitution here--no question--but think about why it's prostitution. She could be doing a song about a kid in a sweat shop. The point is that she's using "chinna girl" to show you how kids who have no choice are forced to operate in this ridiculously unfair and exploitative relationship. As to zombiewakeup's point, the reason that you THINK it's widely known that it costs $10 to have sex with a child prostitute is exactly PenguinBoys point, and it's what MIA is trying to point out to everyone listening to this song. Unless you've done any shopping, I assume you know how much that a child prostitute costs $10 from what you've seen or heard in the media. People know that this exists, but unless the system that's in place to keep poor people poor changes, nothing's going to change. That's my two cents, anyway. |

did any one else catch the sound clip sampled from 'spaceballs'? rick moranis says, "ludacris speed: go!" fantastic song though. "you said you hated your body/that it was just a piece of meat/i disagree/i think you're beautiful" |
