Well we started out strong,
And our hopes were high,
Figured on bein' like Bonnie and Clyde,
25 years is an alibi,
had to get connected,
So Iwrote a long letter to a
government-man,
Told him I was born in the summer of sam,
He said son I don't think that you understand, just wanna get elected,
But my heart got heavy,
And my hair grew long,
Had to take a job just to get along,
I was down in the gutter below,
I was down in the gutter below,
As my daddy always said sing this song,
How hard can it be just to get along,
He said, don't go sellin' your soul,
He said, don't go sellin' your soul,

Hey man, you know,
What's up, too slow,
Feels like I'm starin' at the sun,
Get high, get low,
Don't let your ego,
Out there, Starin' at the sun,
Starin' at the sun,

Well I got a lotta love for the modern man,
Read a lotta books that i don't understand,
Want a lotta things that I lost or stole,
Just wanna hooker with a heart of gold,
As my heart gets heavy,
And my hair get s long,
Hard can it be just to get along,
When you don't go sellin' your soul,
Yes don't go sellin' your soul,

Hey man, you know,
What's up, too slow,
Feels like I'm starin' at the sun
Get high, get low,
Don't let your ego,
Out there, Starin' at the sun,
Starin' at the sun,

Now baby, I love you,
But spring's in the air,
It just seems like maybe,
? , Smokin' pot and wonderin' how we got so fucked up,

Hey man, you know, don't let your ego,
Feels like We're starin' at the sun,
Hey man, you know, don't let your ego,
I'm here starin' at the sun,
Hey man, you know, don't let your ego,
Feels like we're starin' at the sun,
Hey man, you know, don't let your ego,
Out here starin' at the sun,
Starin' at the sun, Starin' at the sun, Starin' at the sun,

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.

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."
