a cosmonaut said today, a world at peace..is a world thats ok
we must fight to repair
an astronaut said to me, are you happy with watching your tv
simply lost in a stare
my father asked of me, are you to proud to fight for your country?
if by proud you mean scared
we're hurting inside, we're hurting inside...
and all around the world, wemake ourselves at home
we're hurting inside, with everything we do
spaceman landed down, asked wheres love and I answered with a frown
sometimes the lost cannot be found
a solider said tonight, a night alone is a night that's allright
love is quick to grow stale
a woman asked of me, would I show her the love she needs to see
and I replied "dear you are blind"
we're hurting inside, we're hurting inside...
and all around the world, we make ourselves at home
we're hurting inside, with everything we do
it doesn't make much sense, for her to hold her heart in her defense
for it is black and has run dry
a man who bows before his leader is a man who is no more
for no man is without his pride

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."
