Bitch, you'd better buck-buck-buckle up, prepare for this impact
Car crash, whiplash, bam, snap your neck back in half
Why can't I just be realistic?
Give 'em what they want and make the biddies go ballistic

Sadistic motherfuckers playing complicated
Well never underestimate the underestimated
Opinionated, elevated, sticking to my guns
And I think you're gonna get just what you got coming

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

Yo, can I ask you something?
What the fuck is up man?
You got nothing, it's just a fairy tale you're stuck in
I'm sucking from that 7 on 7

Pumping and roughing up all of these fakes that be bluffing
Nothing you can say could ever take this away now
Stay down
Stay the fuck away from this playground

Lyrical hijack, put my madness to my method
Check it, mic in my hand, nah, more like a lethal weapon

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

What you got, what you got, what you got
what you, what you, what you

Go blind, bring the drums
Better yet, here we come
You take back what you done or you can tuck tail and run
Ready or not, find yourself
And if you dare stop running
I think you're gonna get just what you got coming, bring it

You're gonna get just what you got, what you got?
You're gonna get just what you got, what you got?
You're gonna get just what you got, what you got?
You're gonna get just what you got coming

So what the fuck you got?

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
