This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
For every grain of sugar here's a pound a salt
To melt away all the shit this country shoved down my throat
No I won't ever cave or curl nothing I do's my fault
'Cause I'm a victim of sobriety in 50 states on drugs
For every act of love I attack assault
Yeah I destruct because I'm fucked I just won't give up
And some may say I'm stubborn and I won't grow up
But I think your all just used to having that ass tore up
Your part of the disease in a government corrupt
Toxic waste corporate sleaze destroying everything you touch
Mother bleeds we deceived seek in gods creed we trust
We looking up hogs we feed smog fogs and clouds our thoughts
Though I saw a flag with stars and stripes
That stood for equal rights
Civil liberties pursuit of happiness in life
Now I know were all just hoes spokes on a wheel of fortune
Lost tones in a song eternal souls scorching cause your
Government loves you so sleep now rest assured
Your taxes make prisoners of war around the world
They'll mind warp and drug you, rape your little girl
Your government loves you so sleep now rest assured
Let's take a little trip back in time to remember why your government loves you
They'd do anything fight and die for you
Operation mongoose couldn't shoot Castro
But got Martin Luther king blasted back in 68
'Cause they was afraid he was of communist regime
A black man with a dream of peace and equality
Was surely a threat to USA's economy of glutton war
Greed ace of spades Vietnamese oil brigades
And now the same shit today
Different presidential candidates
Same goal global control of the Middle East
Hey there's only a few more nations left to enslave
We need some more fancy clothes and golden roads paved now
'Cause your
Government loves you so sleep now rest assured
Your taxes make prisoners of war around the world
They'll mind warp and drug you, rape your little girl
Your government loves you so sleep now rest assured
2052 is the year
"now that the nuclear snow has cleared, it's time to announce the new world order is here.
I am George Bush Senior the third,
Your genetically engineered fascist leader. You are now ruled by a computer.
You are one race, one fuck, one sex, one money, on a space ship to mars,
Noah's arch no holds barred, this planet will explode in t-minus 4,
'Cause your Government loves you so sleep now rest assured
Your taxes make prisoners of war around the world
They'll mind warp and drug you, rape your little girl
Your government loves you so sleep now rest assured
They love you
They love you
They love you
To melt away all the shit this country shoved down my throat
No I won't ever cave or curl nothing I do's my fault
'Cause I'm a victim of sobriety in 50 states on drugs
For every act of love I attack assault
Yeah I destruct because I'm fucked I just won't give up
And some may say I'm stubborn and I won't grow up
But I think your all just used to having that ass tore up

Toxic waste corporate sleaze destroying everything you touch

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
Only slightly paranoid.
I read over this again, and I have to say I positively love these lyrics.... Very liberal, but they make some interesting points. And who can resist a good politician-bashing song? =p
