The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Ha ha
Mm-hm, don't mind if I do
Hey, it seems like every day I got a filled up phone
Ladies tryna text me, saying that they home for the summer
And they heard that I'm living on my own
So they wanna come to the crib, maybe cook me some supper
But I'm busy, so I'm ignoring her
Yeah, I just touched down in California
Now I'm headed to the beach gon' swim in the water
Like I'm tryna sneak in across the border
I do all different types of crazy shit
I'm the youngin' hoes tryna make a baby with
'Cause it'll make 'em rich
Know I'm headed to the money, so these funny little girls wanna take a trip
But no, only the M-O-S-T Dope with me
Other fools homo, Roy and Siegfried
No disrespect though
I got addictive cigarette flow for the green pesto, presto
(I'd like to make myself believe) ha ha
This is what I was talkin' about
When I said K.I.D.S. Was gonna be some life changin' shit (that planet Earth turns slowly)
Bitches, but shoutout Pittsburgh man (it's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep)
Most Dope ('cause everything is never as it seems)
Big Jerm makin' me sound crispy and shit
Hey, yeah, I'm highly underestimated
So educated in getting paid quick
If you ever hated, anticipate that I'm famous
Got a bunch of bitches to sip on the champagne with
Celebrate that we seein' another day, life good
Never wanna end this
Me and Mary Jane got a really nice friendship
Yeah, they give me money but I gotta go and spend it
Man, I been a bad little jew
But I gotta pay the bills now, so I gotta chill out
I ain't walking 'round like I'm splurging with a mil' now
Feel like the kid workin' at the mill now
Used to just chill and smoke joints up at Bill's house
Now I got a schedule, things I gotta do
Doing interviews, see it up on YouTube
I say it feels just like a dream
'Bout to wake up from a nap
How fucked up was that?
Like
(I'd like to make myself believe) yeah
(That planet Earth turns slowly) this shit just feels good, I'm not gonna lie
(It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep) hey, hey, hey
('Cause everything is never as it seems)
Just some motherfucking kids
We just some motherfucking kids
Mm-hm, don't mind if I do
Hey, it seems like every day I got a filled up phone

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I love the song the beat goes hard I love how he remixes the beat Mac never fails to keep me tuned in.
