Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with the light up above
From the mountain to the prarie
Through the ocean, white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home!
Write your name and spell it well
All good children go straight to hell
See what you saw, see all you can see
As you get fucked by your own liberty now
If love is a taxi, the devil would drive
If hatred is English, then I'm speaking jive
If this is a fuck, then I'd run for a mile
When I say baby, bruises are back in style
God bless America
God hates America
Know your name when you're in a rage
Piss and shit line an empty cage
The people look, they all stop and stare
At the little girl with the long greasy hair now
If love is a taxi, the devil would drive
If hatred is English, then I'm speaking jive
If this is a fuck, then I'd run for a mile
When I say baby, bruises are back in style
God bless America
God hates America!
Know your name and spell it well
Sign in blood, you might as well
See what you saw, see all you can see
As you get fucked by your own liberty now
If love is a taxi, the devil would drive
If hatred is English, then I'm speaking jive
If this is a fuck, then I'd run for a mile
When I say baby, bruises are back in style
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with the light up above
From the mountain to the prarie
Through the ocean, white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home!
Write your name and spell it well
All good children go straight to hell
See what you saw, see all you can see
As you get fucked by your own liberty now
If love is a taxi, the devil would drive
If hatred is English, then I'm speaking jive
If this is a fuck, then I'd run for a mile
When I say baby, bruises are back in style
God bless America
God hates America
Know your name when you're in a rage
Piss and shit line an empty cage
The people look, they all stop and stare
At the little girl with the long greasy hair now
If love is a taxi, the devil would drive
If hatred is English, then I'm speaking jive
If this is a fuck, then I'd run for a mile
When I say baby, bruises are back in style
God bless America
God hates America!
Know your name and spell it well
Sign in blood, you might as well
See what you saw, see all you can see
As you get fucked by your own liberty now
If love is a taxi, the devil would drive
If hatred is English, then I'm speaking jive
If this is a fuck, then I'd run for a mile
When I say baby, bruises are back in style

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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.
I agree with ladydeathstrike^ about all that emo junk. if this were a mainstream song, people would go throwing themselves downstairs, i'm sure.
