He certainly did earn that reputation.
Where do I begin, with this life we're living in
Market youth their uniform, make us all fit in
But do you think, that we're that blind?
That we can't see through all your lies?
Cause if its no good
burn burn the stations
we'll burn it down
burn burn the truth
enjoy the flames
in celebration
enjoy the sound
for us for them for you
I know that ive been told
My intergrity was sold
Price and placed upon the shelf
Its worth its weight in gold
But do you think we've lost our minds?
Yeah we can see through all your lies?
Cause if its no good
burn burn the stations
we'll burn it down
burn burn the truth
enjoy the flames
in celebration
enjoy the sound
for us for them for you
burn burn the truth the lies the news
burn burn the life that you cant choose
burn burn the hate that gets you through
burn burn for us, for them, for you
burn burn for us, for them, for you
burn burn for us, for them, for you
burn burn for us, for them, for you
Cause if its no good
burn burn the stations
we'll burn it down
burn burn the truth
enjoy the flames
in celebration
enjoy the sound
for us for them for you
Cause if its no good
burn burn the stations
we'll burn it down
burn burn the truth
enjoy the flames
in celebration
enjoy the sound
for us for them for you
for us for them for you
for us for them for you
for us for them for you

Market youth their uniform, make us all fit in

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Gosh, these guys are hypocrites.
I love Lostprophets music very much but take a look at these lines...
"Market youth their uniform, make us all fit in But do you think, that we're that blind? That we can't see through all your lies?"
Isn't that who they make music for now ? They even dress and have hair like youths now. To be fair they have had this concept for a while and they can't help who their audience is but it seems like they portray themselves to a 'uniformed' market of youth, exactly what they are putting down in this song...
