Pornocracy, government run by whores we never ask what the fuck we do this for.
We only have one party, democracy is just a front
they say they care about our country. All they care about is cunt.
A 6th of my paycheck it belongs to me,
the rest is what's given to my greedy landlord and government.
And all of that money goes to hurtful programs
like social security and nuclear weapons. Justify my right to die.
We turn our heads try to scream try to shout,
give the lower class power make the middle class count,
cause they're not not not gonna take that away from me.
Not not not gonna take that away
they say they care about our country,
all they care about is cunt.
We've all done little of any worth make our oceans cleaner maybe save the earth.
Create a less harmful fuel available to all nations. Kill our race or the local gas station.
Distribution education budget based on who needs the most help, don't cripple minorities by basing it on wealth.
When you're young dumb and poor, you have no voice.
" Would you like fries?" is your freedom of choice.
America's burning, we're just burning, watch us burn and watch us fall.
Nuclear war. Holding back more. What's it all for? What's it all for?

Fast Car
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
