So tell me why is the climate flipped?
The truth is black and white like the nine hole chips
Or the "no logo" logo used to buy hardcore frodolo
Now I'm trying to put holes in the their barcodes like promos
Should I even know why we spend?
Companies concentrate on the camps like IBM
If you've ever seen a CEO smile, he get focused as hell
Coal burners after oil murders, ghost in the shell
Hello is yellow and red and bush is fellow in bed
You better get the point like stilettos the head, dead
Brightly map out a path that a keel a Taurus
The smoke on the water, straight outta Phillip Morris
Look at Wal-Mart, they thugged down niceness
Goin' through the sweatshop, rundown the prices
As far as wrong plans go, their a bigger public enemy
Than Flava Flav working for Monsanto

Don't spend a dime until they get the price filed
Even I'm sellin' a life style, testing the cause
Freshest deputy to veteran boss
Thirty seconds gets my message across

I am man of argyle companies far from even-handed
But I've even handed out cash for their jeans and hats
Seeming that I contradict quite slightly
To think their wearing orange, blue and white Nikes
But does it really make a difference?
Since everyone's interest is green paper
Many companies thrive off cheap labor
Like I told this punk to watch his feet
He said, "Fuck off"
Told him, "Nike owns Converse, you weren't safe with Chucks on"
It seems what you wear is a cotton ideology
Or homespun philosophy from growing up autonomy
But you are not alone like the festival line-up
Caused to find the tree that they want you to climb up
Not hung-up on thrift stores but I feel a little better
Spending cheddar on a used-button upper sweater
I won't say stop buying 'cause it isn't realistic
But cop it cause you want it, make your own damn decisions

Don't spend a dime until they get the price filed
Even I'm sellin' a life style, testing the cause
Freshest fit to veteran boss
Thirty seconds gets my message across

First, you are being watched and no, I'm not fucking paranoid
A pair a boys with pins to get locked to your latitude
An attitude to get it real, smart with what you have to do
Before you let'em in, quite drop wit a batter you
The game's on fist, put the names on the list
Your an actor in a play and I'm changing the script
It's amazing to sit, perhaps you know
Magical bull gonna take you an go to true product
Placement in your moving pictures
Hatred in your schooling system
Forsake a patron saint, the president want youth eviction
For his own devices vice-grip, grip-tape, tape roll, roll up
Plus are targets this way is a display
A politrickery carry wood call it bickory
Whether red or food, they giving you wood like hickory
This is the bravest record of vast instruction
Signing off, Cadence Weapon of mass destruction

Don't spend a dime until they get the price filed
Even I'm sellin' a life style, testing the cause
Freshest fit to veteran boss
Thirty seconds gets my message across

    I believe the first line is "why is the climate flipped", but I could be wrong. Thanks for putting up the lyrics, I've wanted these for forever.

    I love this song, basically just means wear whatever you want.

    I know what you mean, I do that sometimes. I was working on Holy Smoke and Lisa's Spider earlier but I probably won't post them.

    Can't wait for the new CD to come out March 4th, as well.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
