This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Lyrics should read like this:
Tear it out of these open pages
Women and kids of all ages
Millions of men with blank faces
Italicized lies, headlines bold type
Living lives just like deer in headlights
Terrified, blind, and wait to die
I wonder when they'll come get me
I wonder when they'll come get me
We want you, have to, need you and
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
It never ends, never ends
We want you, have to, need you and
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
It never ends, never ends, never ends
Big shot screaming put your hands in the sky
He says "Give it up boy, give it up or you're gonna die
You'll get a bullet in the back of the neck
In the back of the neck
Right between the eyes
Tear it out of these open pages
Women and kids of all ages
Millions of men with blank faces
Italicized lies, headlines bold type
Living lives just like deer in headlights
Terrified, blind, and wait to die
I wonder when they'll come get me
I wonder when they'll come get me
We want you, have to, need you and
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
It never ends, never ends
We want you, have to, need you and
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
It never ends, never ends, never ends
Big shot screaming put your hands in the sky
He says "Give it up boy, give it up or you're gonna die
You'll get a bullet in the back of the neck
In the back of the neck
Right between the eyes

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
alright...
heard the leaked EP (i feel horrible for it too :( )
so these SHOULD be the correct lyrics! i'm starting to think the song's actually politically-related, too...
