Push your foot to the floor
Don't need no more
You been kickin' around
While you're messin' about

Better catch her name, come on in
Give me that thing, that thing gone wild
War machine (war machine)
War machine (war machine)

Make a stand, show your hand
Call in a high command
Don't think, just obey
I'm like a bird of prey

So better catch her name, come on in
Give me that thing, that thing gone wild
War machine (war machine)
War machine (war machine)

Better watch your back
And cover your tracks
Kick your foot through the door
Hit the deck, know the score
They're taken by surprise
And here's mud in your eye

Misery's the name if you shoot 'em for gain
Call of the wild, hurry for naught
That thing gone wild
War machine (war machine)
War machine (war machine)
Let's go

That thing gone wild
War machine (war machine)
War machine (war machine)
War machine (war machine)
Ooh, war machine (war machine)

    It's funny how Black Sabbath made "Iron Man", and in the Marvel comic "Iron Man" there is a character named War Machine.

    This is one of the best songs off Black ice in my opinion! It has that evil feeling like Hells Bells! The only 2 songs on Black Ice are this one, and the song Black Ice. I wish there were more like this!

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.

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.
