No, you don't get it
No, you don't want it
No, you don't get it, no
No, you don't get it
No, you don't want it
No, you don't get it, no

She don't like the way she smiles
He don't like the way she smiles

Son of a bitch
I know the itch
It's like they don't get it, no
Try to get rid of it
But you won't
You can't get, won't get it, no

She don't like the way she smiles (don't want you, don't need you)
He don't like the way she smiles (can't have you, I want)

No, you don't get it
You'll never get it
No, you don't get it
I want to see through you, now

No, you don't get it
You'll never get it
No, you don't get it
I want to see through you

No, you don't get it
No, you don't want it
No, you don't get it, no
Try to get rid of it
But you won't
You can't, won't, get it, no

She don't like the way she smiles (don't want you, don't need you)
He don't like the way she smiles (can't have you, I want)

No, you don't get it

She don't like the way she smiles
She don't like the way she smiles

No, you don't get it
You'll never get it
No, you don't get it
I want to see through you
No, you don't get it
You'll never get it
No, you don't get it
I want to see through you

    This is indeed a tribute to the Motor City 5 , one of Scotts big influences and indeed one of Rocks n Rolls big influences though they are largely overlooked by mainstream media. The MC5 wanted to be/were revolutioinaries and were likely ahead of their time and that is what I think it's about.

    At the end after the weird bass "solo" you can hear some laughter and someone yell "I broke a string!"

    this doesn't sound like STP. it sounds kinda nu-metalish or poppy.

    I love this song so much, it's one of the best on No. 4. I know it's about the band MC5 but what the hell does it mean?? Apparently they don't like the way she smiles.

Mountain Song
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."

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
