YEAH! YEAH!
SNAKES'N'BARRELS! WE'RE GONNA ROCK YOU!

1-2-3-4!

Well, ya can lead em to water,
But ya can't make em drink.
Ya got the penny that ya saved,
From the penny in the sink.
You got a stitch in time
And it's gonna save you nine
First you try to wing it,
Baby also try to fling it
You got it easy come
And easy go
Only one way to go
You gotta get up off the floor
You got an Alfa-Romero
It's a natural win
I guess I'm really tired singing
Hey, hey hey
When you get up and go
And you know you can't do it
No, you don't have a chance
But you go, go, go
Because the pie in the sky
Is a bird that won't fly
And you hear the old song
With the wonderful line
Yeah, and what goes up
You know it's gotta come down
When your glass is half-empty
When you're going downtown
And you know you're going down
When the mother...

[cut-off]

    What, nobody is willing to guess? I'd guess it's about drugs or something...

    These aren't the lyrics, I spent THIRTY HOURS just watchin this forty second clip over and over. The lyrics are:

    YEAH! YEAH! SNAKES'N'BARRELS! WE'RE GONNA ROCK YOU!

    1-2-3-4!

    Well, ya can lead em to water, But ya can't make em drink. Ya got the penny that ya saved, From the penny in the sink. Ya got the stitch in time. Goin' ta 'saken land. Now, you've had your way, you've had enuff of this, and now, Ya got a easy come, And a easy go, Believe me, and get the fuckin' do'. Ya got it naturally, The natural way. Now get the fuckin' map and see the A.K.K.

    Ya get what you're doin' But ya gotta un-do it. Ya got the dog and the skunk, And the doodely-doo. Ya got the fire'n the sky, And the birds that go fly. Ya know what pops up, After multiple times? Ya know a'what goes up, Ya know it's gotta come down. Blast that record when you're goin' downtown. Well, ya know were goin' down, With the mother fuckin' kiss. Well ya gotta fuckin' talk, When you're fuckin' tryin' to deal with fuckin' this

    And on the subject of the meaning, it's a murky-ily stated song on Snakes'N'Barrels' beliefs, combined with popular maxims, instructions for their fans, and the history of Snakes'N'Barrels. It's also a semi-rant by Pickles.

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.

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.
