'Cause ya cut it ya match it
ya cut it ya match it
you do the final cut, yeah
Ya cut it ya match it
ya cut it ya match it
you do the final cut, yeah

'Cause it's a manifest destiny like a genocide recipe
telling lords that wrestle me to be my own race
challenge your god and dominate all your palace
don't underestimate the fate of a preordained mass

where are my boots and where the hell is my balance
the hell you did come down from your planet
to see us all reach for the cocking of a gun
oh come if you're gonna get some

cause forty seconds later and the cocking of a gun
a boy execution and his special agent scum
two officers pushed a boy down on his back
searched through his pockets found a vile of crack, yeah

this boy untainted
its a typical mythical world we live in un-taint me
un-slay me, un-lay me
going to the river cause i think im damn ready


There is a river where riverbed should be
There is a river where riverbed should be


'Cause its the policy makers, that make us or break us
you can be overtaken by the forsaken forsakers
and my soul's for sale
its a dog eat dog world and the dog wags the tail
and we live too much, but we feel too little
from the tracks caught in the middle
I know your telling me to settle down
well you can fool me but you cant fool the whole town


I'd like to jettison your medicine back to where you came from
You keep your Bell and Eddison away from my grandson
stand son on your own bone don't forget the home that you came from
don't let them say your name wrong

just like Larry i take it to the hoop
I do one false move in one fell swoop
and then I, then i pass it to the trigger man
bow down to the sound if you still can

cause there's plenty of catcalls and plenty of misfalls
and I can attest to the best of the past falls
never ever have i had to make match with sickness
look both ways dispatch with a quickness

gimmie some roy, gimmie some speed
gather all around to the word and read on
till you get to the parts that's righteous
it's an unbearable likeness


There is a river where riverbed should be
There is a river where riverbed should be


my name is Chetro and I do know
that I gotta get some money to get the van towed
his name is Braddigan and I'm back again
I wanna be that three with a tight plan

his name is Pete repeat, Pete's got the goods
spanking on my bass like I know I should
lost in the draw for the freak and groove
relax and relapse let's synapse this move

    idk, but i think the first part is primarily about governments that can sometimes force things upon their people [challenge your god= change your faith to ours/ renounce all of your faith] And then the "special agent scum" and the "two officers" are probably the enforcers of the corrupt government that they speak of. The river has some kind of significance that i can't quite put my finger on... --BTW, why the hell was the middle verse [cause its the policy makers,......... you cant fool the whole town] not in the 'GutTheVan' album? I'm assuming it was in ANOTHER live preformance they gave of it, but does anyone know where i could get a recording of it where they used that verse?--

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/
