This is for anyone wishing they could do their entire life over:
Quit sulking, you fuckin' pussy.
Yeah yeah yeah, clown on my accent all you want.
I'll whoop your ass. I'll whoop your grandmother's ass.
I'll whoop your sister's ass. I'll beat your mom's ass.
I'll beat your ass. It's the anti-socialite not-so-christian
That will talk more shit than bitter and old women
On puny ass rappers with little-to-no rhythm.
Fuck veganism give me some general tso's chicken.
I write weird songs that got hooks like Journey
And if i grew my hair out i'd probably look like Fergie
But I'd never tinkle in my pants while I was on stage
Cause I was potty trained when I was four years of age.
I think a lot of people these days are bitches,
I also think that emo and emotional are different.
But more so I hate white girls that talk like,
"Aww hell naw, girl I'm gettin' this shit crunk, you know what I'm sayin'?"
I'm not jokin', it's nothing but bark, I feel lost.
Can't remember where the fuck that i parked.
The world is gray and blue but what skates me through
Is knowing that I have a better music taste than you.
I used to like Tool until they made the same album that
They made the last time they made the same album.
Every time they make a damn album it's the same album, really.
And only stoners listen to their music, it's silly.
I still think the Deftones are dope,
And I like Nick Drake on the days I wanna let go of hope.
Wilco is great and Ice-T is still clever
And no matter what its always Wu-Tang forever.

Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
I don't need lovin' and I don't need help
I'd rather ride in the car by my goddamn self

Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
I don't need lovin' and I don't need help
I'd rather ride in the car by my goddamn self

I'm 25 i started rapping as a sophmore
In those days I'd hide my cigarettes in my sock drawer
Until I heard my mom snoring sleeping on the green couch
And then I'd secretively sneak out.
My first taste of heartbreak was at the park late one summer night
I had a big crush on a girl named Sara
I was gonna ask her out until I saw Tim Phillips kissing her, grabbin' her butt. Asshole! I was madder than fuck and walked home.
Oh, Tim Phillips smells like cool water cologne.
Well fuck him, his Mustang and all his other friends
I vowed i would never love again and since then I've dated,
But fuck that I can't give nothing
I'd rather sail alone than have my damn ship sunken
Being single's par for the course,
I don't wanna cause a marriage cause I don't wanna cause a divorce
It's probably important and it's better for health
Besides, I get the whole damn bed for myself
But what the hell everybody yells for me to drop down my guard
No! this heart of mine's for me, it's locked down and it's scarred
Go home, I don't need me a wife, I'm happily single for life, alright?

My name is Mac Sheldon I'm a fire-sign leo
Alcoholic, anti-mall, anti-hero, anti-soccer mom, anti-hipster; pro-eating captain-crunch-cereal-for-dinner, pro-taking-bong-hits-to-cure-your-depression, and pro-demo cd, if you got one let me check it
But never ask me what the hell i'm laughing about, see ya later I'ma go take a nap on the couch, alright?

Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
I don't need lovin' and I don't need help
I'd rather ride in the car by my goddamn self
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
I don't need lovin' and I don't need help
I'd rather ride in the car by my goddamn self

Well gee, Mac, what are we gonna do about this Kansan accent of yours?"

Well, self, since you`re asking in the third person, we're gonna fuckin' keep it! Because it makes us pretty and unique and beautiful, like birds!"

I'll whoop your mother's ass.

    Haha, I always crack up when he rags on Tool. Can't tell if he's serious or not, but either way it's great.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

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.
