Takin' it away
Takin' it away

Bonez Dubb:
I need somethin' to eat, I'm fuckin' starvin' in this piece
Kinda feelin' deceased, somebody call a priest
I'm fuckin' empty, cause they don't give a fuck about me
You know I can't pay off the salary
I need the money, the green, cause I have no home
And Uncle Sam don't show no love to a broke ass Bonez (B-O-N-E-Z)
A twenty couldn't last me two weeks
I'm fuckin' used to chillin' on the curbs of these streets
I'm alright though, you I'm straight how I'm livin'
Here's how I roll - I know the place I was given
Bitches laugh when they walk by until they pass
Most of the time get pissed cause I smack they ass
It's just the Juggalo way, I pray to be okay
And don't give a fuck if bitches give me the time of day (aww, bitch!)
Cause eventhough I'm broke, I still get the skins
I don't need no Benjamin's or even Washington's
They takin' it away!

Chorus:
I hate this shit, but need it cause it ain't nothin' free
Everywhere I go they keep on chargin' me
They keep on takin' it away (takin' it away)
They keep on takin' it away (takin' it away)

Otis:
Hello! I'd like to introduce myself to you
My name is broker-than-broke, no joke, yo, fuck you
Ever since I was born, it's been the same old thang
Diggin' through my homie's couches steady lookin' for change
It used to cost 25 cents for pop in a can
But nowadays the machine try to eat your hand, but hey
It ain't really ain't shit to me
I still boss-man boogie in the middle of the streets
And this Juggalo shit ain't never gon' switch
Flat broke, but I still got a hot ass bitch
And this bitch is the shit, don't bitch at all
I mean, she ain't even a bitch, she a Juggalette (awwwwwww)
But don't mistake her for a easy-to-use
She'll hypnotize rich dudes for they loot like, "Jack move!"
Please believe it, scrubby's the way I live
Not just the way I'm treated, alright?
Peace, bitch

Chorus:
I hate this shit, but need it cause it ain't nothin' free
Everywhere I go they keep on chargin' me
They keep on takin' it away (takin' it away)
They keep on takin' it away (takin' it away)

Bridge:

Otis:
Fuck money, all it ever does is hurt
And it never lives up to what people say it's worth
And fuck work, even if you earn somethin' you deserve
They still take it away, even if you're at church.

Bonez:
Fuck money, all the bills on Earth couldn't buy
All the lies and sins I can see in your eyes
I despise the whole world cause it runs on flow
I'd rather smoke it all away through my bomb indo

Otis:
Fuck money, man, y'all just don't get it
I say muthafuck money, man, and I ain't kiddin'
My whole life I watched moms bow her head over a pile of bills
So whoever's lovin' money is gettin' killed

Bonez:
Fuck money, they're takin' it away from the broke
And give it back to the rich because of words they spoke
It's all taxes, what I ask is, the real fact is
Speak the truth before I cut your ass up with the axe, bitch.

Chorus x 2:
I hate this shit, but need it cause it ain't nothin' free
Everywhere I go they keep on chargin' me
They keep on takin' it away (takin' it away)
They keep on takin' it away (takin' it away)

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
