Why'd you pass the bum on the street?
Why'd you pass the bum on the street?
Why'd you pass the bum on the street?
Why'd you pass the bum on the street?
'Cos he bothered you
'Cos he bothered you
'Cos he bothered you

Why'd you shoot the man with a gun?
Why'd you shoot the man with your gun?
Why'd you shoot the man with the gun?
Why'd you shoot the man with a gun?
'Cos he bothered you
'Cos he bothered you
'Cos he bothered you

We should take the cretins out at night
Drag 'em incomplete by their ears
We should nail their thoughts to the wall
Stand them in the street with a gun
AND THEN KILL THEM ALL
Stand them in the street with a gun
AND THEN KILL THEM ALL
Stand them in the street with a gun
AND THEN KILL THEM ALL
Stand them in the street with a gun
AND THEN KILL THEM ALL

How could they be safe from the way
they live every day?
How could they be safe from the way
they live every day?
How could they be safe from the way
they live every day?
How could they be safe from the way
they live every day?

    My Opinion

    I don't think this song has any deep meaning, I just think it's meant to add to the vibe of the song, which is freak-outish

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
