I don't know why you bother
Nothing's ever good enough for you
I was there
And it wasn't like that
You came here
Just to start a fight

You had to piss on our parade
You had to shred our big day
You had to ruin it for all concerned
In a drunken punch up at a wedding

Hypocrite opportunist
Don't infect me with your poison
A bull in a china shop

When I turn around you stay
Frozen to the spot
The pointless snide remarks
Of hammer headed sharks
The pot will call the kettle black

It's a drunken punchup at a wedding, yeah

    On Thom's lyric sheet he used for one of the concerts, the following "verse" was added at the end of the song but was never sung:

    go ahead the stage is yours. if you think you can do better you used to be alright, what-happened? keep moving or you r dead. keep moving or you r dead. how i wish you’d stay out of my face. there’s always someone spoils the party just you wait till your chained down worried and unhinged you have really gone and done it now just a trick to make you stupid all these sad heroics let me tell you how it really is we are here to spoil your party empty vessels make the most noise survival of the fittest wading through the marshes hypocrits, opportunists, userers flatterers and thiefs. im sick of all your bullshit. im sick of all these fucking mindgames. who invited you anyway?

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
