Are you listening?
Hear the money talk
Said the screeching hawks
To the hand of God

When the colors change
Hear the TV set
Say, "No one's safe"
Say, "No one's safe"
There's no more time

Now you've stolen it
You can't give it back
Every coroner
Will be playing "Taps"

And the rich will weep
Like they did before
Say, "We want more"
Say, "We want more"

They won't take it laying down
You better get ready fast
Fuck war, I said fuck gas masks

Slay, rape, kill, now it's too late
We don't want to but we have to
Uniform, uniform squad

I want to fight in the war
I want to fight in the war
I want to fight in the war
I want it

Who's up for making some more
Who's up for making some more
Who's up for making some more
Blood money?

Slay, rape, kill, now it's too late
We don't want to but we have to
Uniform, uniform squad

I want to fight in the war
Who's up for making some more
Who's up for making some more
Blood money?

    Conor really does an amazing job on this song. You can really tell how much he abhors war with his sarcastic "I wanna fight in the war" screams, which to me are some of his best, and most emotional. I would love to hear this song live.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
