Wear the mark of saints so pure, of lifetime commitments you shall endure.
Now up on stage with mic firmly grasped.
A waste of your honour when your heads up your ass!
Don't chastise me for the choice I make.
You words of malice turn respect to hate.
Unity is a dying dream when you try to shun me form what's most important to me.
I won't!
Be shoved down to the side or looked down upon.
I won't!
Be kept form this life that I've loved so long.
I can't!
Be held at your arms length I'm already in.
But trust me!
I'll curb your ego when you talk your shit.
You can't look down on me when I'm on top.
Don't try to wage a war that should not be fought.
Go!
You shut your eyes; you closed the door, tried to make me feel unwelcome inside my own home.
Now shut your mouth while I break down your door 'cause this is my life, my world as much as it is yours.
Break it down now!
Now shut your mouth while I break down your door, this is my home!
It was never ever meant to be fist over fist.
You ain't the slightest bit better than me; you don't run this shit.
Now get the fuck off of that stage and meet me face to face.
You're as ignorant as they come, your integrity's a waste.
Fuck you, I'm not.

Plastic Bag
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.
