Drowning in this toilet
Of shit they call life
Work like hell at Taco Bell
For $4.25 an hour
No one gives a squirt of piss
If you fucking die
So seize the day by the balls,
And squeeze until
It's on it's knees
And now we dance
Like soldiers
On the battlefield
The only triumph
In a moment of glory
Crack your head open
And sue somebody
Cop a feel on
A punk rock girl
In bondage pants
And Now We Dance
You are just a speck
In a universe of turds
Silenced by conspirators,
Not another word.
With ozone trees depleted,
You choke on malathion.
Nothing fucking matters,
So what's the use in tryin'?
And now we dance
Like warriors
On the victory trail
Only triumph
In a moment of glory
Crack your head open
And sue somebody
Come on and do push ups
Just like Jack Pallance
And Now We Dance
Never join the ranks
Of the kiss ass suit and tie
Or the stinking hippie,
The future is worth a lie,
Nothing's worth a fuck,
A fuck ain't worth a shit
We're only gonna die,
Here's how we deal with it
And Now We Dance
Like warriors
On the battlefield
Only triumph
In a moment of glory
Crack your head open
And sue somebody
Cop a feel
On a punk rock girl
In bondage pants
And Now We Dance
We dance like warriors
On the battlefield
Only triumph
In a moment of glory
Crack your head open
And sue somebody
Come on and do
One handed push ups
Like Jack Pallance
And Now We Dance

    For those who don't know Jack Palance is an old actor. He was in City Slickers with Billy Crystal.
    He won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1991 for City Slickers. Stepping to the microphone to accept the award, he looked at Billy Crystal, the host of the awards program and his co-star in the movie, and said, "Billy Crystal ... I crap bigger than him." He then dropped to the floor and demonstrated his ability, at age 73, to perform one-handed push-ups.

    "Cop a feel on a punk rock girl in bondage pants" it took me a long time to figure out what "bondage pants" were. I know thats stupid of me but @ least I know what they are now

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
