This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
so you say our contry is fucked
let's see what we have
fuck up cops - a fucked court system
discrimination against anyone who doesn't have a lot of money
there's high unemployment
and there's people living in the streets with no food to eat
but one more thing that we have is hatred amongst ourselves
there are scenes - from different cities - they're putting each other down
and bands they want to get paid a lot of money
they're getting greedy - and they're selling out
and kids - your friends - they're talking shit and they gossip right behind your back
sometimes i got to get away from all this shit
so i'll go down by the East River, i'll sit down by the water
and i'll try to figure it all out
why am i alive, and what the fuck is my purpose in this life
who are my real true friends and who will stick by me no matter what!
don't tell me you want - unity
don't tell me you want - anarchy
don't tell me - about your dreams
when all you do is destroy our scene
we have to live as one - open your eyes
can't let this world get us down - open your eyes
all the kids throughout the world - open your eyes
lend a hand and do not run - open your eyes
open your eyes - open your eyes - open your eyes or you will fall!
when you're young your parents they try and tell you what to do
oh no - we've lost control of you - so we think it's time
we put you in a nice reform school
now you're older - more mature - you should be able to adjust
but they way they did it - it's so fucked up
so now you won't listen to society - so it's time for you to go to jail
always remember in this world
you're not alone, cause i know the deal, i've been there too
we were forced through life the hard way
and yes we learned - but for the way they did it
in the end they'll burn!
don't tell me you want - unity
don't tell me you want - anarchy
don't tell me - about your dreams
when all you do is destroy our scene
we have to live as one - open your eyes
can't let this world get us down - open your eyes
all the kids throughout the world - open your eyes
lend a hand and do not run - open your eyes
open your eyes - open your eyes - open your eyes or we will fall!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
