Mass extinctions, global warming
We need DNA profiling
Anti-Government militia
E. coli from baby kissing

Seatbelts, seatbelts
Strangle me when I don't listen

Satellites are listening
An asteroid is gonna hit
The corporations steal your money
We all know that Bush is phony

Secrets, secrets
I'll stay inside if it's code yellow

Another, another
And I can't back down
I can't back down again

Another, another
With my back to the wall
Yeah this is the call

Reaching to crawl out
Reaching to crawl out

S.O.S.
They wanna hear this
So fuck this

Spinning alley, big big brother
Families broken, struggling mothers
Terror plotting, greenhouse gassing
Always looking for another

Defect, defect
In my genes will make me get sick

Icecaps melting, children killing
Mass destruction, atom bombing
Homelessness rising, mad cow slaying
Think they stole my eyes for cloning

Star wars, star wars
They hunt us down with pinpoint lasers

Who are you afraid of?
Are you afraid of?
Who are you afraid of?
You! I'm afraid of!

Satellites are listening
An asteroid is gonna hit
Our president is full of shit
Or president is full of shit

Star wars, star wars
Making us call out, making us call out

S.O.S.

    Basically a rant song of all the things wrong in the world/conspiracy theories.

    "Seatbelts...Strangle me when I don't listen" "Global warming (not warning)" "Mass destruction, atom bombing"

    Yes, it is.

    Also, some of the lyrics are wrong. One was pointed out above, and there are a few others in there that die-hard Dollyrots fans could find.

    Beautifully put together. I love this song.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."
