This is war, pick your sides, know your stance
This is war, no telling how the story ends
This is a fallout, everybody get down
Stay out of our way (out of our way)
This ain't a nice song, no telling where we might go
We've heightened the stakes

You wishing death upon us?
Better get ready with a vest and invest in enough
Protection to lessen nuclear fallout, go cry for mama
You wanted war 'til you on the floor tryna hide from bombing
Kamikazes fly supersonic right through the Eiffel Tower

President Donny killed Soleimani so now Iran's a problem
Going Nagasaki, atomics dropping on Abu Dhabi
Twenty million bodies and five tsunamis arrive in Holland
Few survived alive, now the radiation is sure to follow

All the bombing is now underway
How you gonna save yourself? Y'all better pray
Y'all gotta stay down in the basement or hallway closet
Otherwise die in the flames

A lot of atomic waste concentrated in Metropolis
Watch as the hospital rates sky rockets to thousands of patients
Nuke radiation becoming too dangerous
No, this ain't Tinder but I swipe left at you with a knife, in fact

Striking your back with a whole Viking axe
Tell Tech that it's time for the fire
Let me get a funnel attachment run up and siphon the gas
Douse it around then we go light the match
Igniting that like Iraq where Isis was fighting at

Whole world 'bout to end so soon
Kim Jong-un getting pissed at you
Send a big frickin' nuke to America to hit your roof
In instant blew like flipping a fuse
Incinerating kids in school principal said it was miserable
Missiles are dropping in Israel, Germany, London and Istanbul

Not Godzilla but an ominous monster's still upon us
Planet was hit with a comet, economy crashing
Poverty, wobbly plate tectonics shifting a lot
How could it not be the apocalypse?
Probably got to be causing a lot of the death that we see
When we turn on our screens every night
And we're watching the news up on our TV

Forcibly, torture these
Enemies give 'em deformities
Waterboard 'em 'til they orally tell us a story
Sick and stick 'em up in quarantine
There's not a hint of remorse in me
Cold to my core feels like only in war do I ever find normalcy
Like on the beaches of Normandy
Live by the sword, I'ma die when I'm forty-three

Together with Tech and I
We met up and electrify the record every time that we etch a rhyme
I reckon they recognize, never gonna rise to my level
I'm five times better with the pen when spraying venom
'Bout to end 'em when I get 'em in the center of the scope, doot-doot
Let a round off broken through open, a wound there ain't no hope for you

Yeah, I think I'm 'bout to kill a motherfucker with a gun
You better get to running like you were a sprinter
'Bouta hit 'em in the ligament and ankle bullet ricocheting
Thinking I may intimidate a witness, never give into the pressure
When they interview 'em, bet they won't admit
I'm finna run up, shoot a bullet from the hip, pull up on the strip
Hit 'em with the lead and put a body in the ditch
Other words, GAWNE and Tech just murdered this shit

I can smell the smoke from Hell, it's right in the middle of us
Everybody wanna fight and they givin' no fucks
When they do it on sight wit' a gun or wit' a knife
Ain't even a bit of light, when you're living in dusk
In the mind, why they gotta be stuck?
The crime when you wanna go bustin' the .9
Never have no trust in your kind
And you're really unjust

How do they storm the Capitol? (Cha)
It's a war in the back of your forum
The horns attackin' mo' torn the radicals (cha)
Never happen to mourn the scorned and born wit' a lack of dough (cha)
Just like them (cha), when I think about it all it's quite dim (cha)
Everything is really raw like a fright film (cha)
If you ready for the brawl, come and try grim (cha)

At a level where the people wanna load up what they got and get it poppin'
If he thinking 'bout the hood he better never come a knockin'
They don't ever wanna take it to the B or the C zone (cha)
We home nigga we got the heat on (cha)
All the energy is separation, togetherness never was the motivation
Evil has really been sweeping the nation
Because it was never no communication (cha)

In a war the believers of Jesus, wanna make you bleed, it's egregious
Shoulda had their fetus deleted, but the parents skeet is completed
So now we stuck wit' the crazy, pushin' a lotta negative up in the babies
What the fuck they doin' snuffin' the ladies?
Killin' globally it's buckin' in Haiti (cha)

This is (war) what are the fake well wishes (for?)
Even the saint sell sickness, rank fell vicious
Bank swell quick as (whores) (cha)
Can't nobody be calm in the midst of Hell
So I lit this bomb wit' the quickness
Yell wit' the lip, it's 'Nam and it's on
You don't wanna go to war with Tech N9na and GAWNE

This is war, pick your sides, know your stance
This is war, no telling how the story ends
This is a fallout, everybody get down
Stay out of our way (out of our way)
This ain't a nice song, no telling where we might go
We've heightened the stakes

(Pendo)

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.

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."
