Death is pretty final
I'm collecting vinyl
I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world

Cause if heaven does exist
With a kicking play list
I don't wanna miss it at the end of the world

Hey steady steady
Hey steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

Its on my mind
Its in my mind
Its what I found
Its what I find

Its on my mind
Its in my mind
Its what I found
Its what I find

And I'll spin my way right through it
Create an easy way jack through it
As I mosh up to the moon
As you circle the room

Music could provide the light you can not resist
You can not resist
You can not resist

And the web is getting tangled
As you wingle and you wangle
When you walk up in Seattle
Where you fought a recent battle
As you enter the battle
Let us raise another vinyl
Raise another vinyl
Raise another vinyl

Because death is pretty final
I'm collecting vinyl
I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world

Hey steady steady
Hey steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

Its on my mind
Its in my mind
Its what I found
Its what I find

Its on my mind
Its in my mind
Its what I found
Its what I find

Hey steady steady
Hey steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

Hey steady steady
Hey steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

Music could provide the light you can not resist
You can not resist
You can not resist, yeah

    The lyrics are actually:

    metrolyrics.com/im-gonna-dj-lyrics-rem.html

    The version on this site includes no mention of Mr Pruitt, but it should.

    Sounds like "Heavy metal Christian rock" if such a thing exists:

    If death is pretty final, I'm collecting vinyl, I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world Since we only have on life in this world, I'm doing only the very best, most moral actions, so that at the end I'll be celebrating in Heaven.

    It's on my mind, it's in my mind, it's what i found, it's what i find, repeat Trying to be a good, holy person is everything in my entire life, every little thing

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."
