We moving down a Babylon
Woii, yeah, yeah, yeah

We moving dung a Babylon and we no fear no one
No pope, no cop, no politician
We moving dung a Babylon, we coming from Zion
Yes, yes, we lion, whoa, oii

Yes, Rasta so what's di story again?
So many Rasta children dead and bury, yeah
I see some bredrin embrace di dutty nine again
I see dem dirty arms taking sons away
We going to make a peaceful revolution inna Jamdung
We gonna set di clock back inna di right direction
We gonna fire the amplifier and then jump up everywhere
We gonna bring back Rastafari inna di square, well

We moving dung a Babylon and we no fear no one
No pope, no cop, no politician
We moving dung a Babylon, we coming from Zion
Yes, yes, we lion, oh

We moving dung a Babylon and we no fear no one
No pope, no cop, no politician
We moving dung a Babylon, we coming from Zion
Yes, yes, we lion, woii

I remember how much tears it cost for us to be free
Free to flash out di dreadlocks and our dignity
Cah di rumors dem a spread was negative publicity
Dem time deh we used to live in captivity
For all di blood that drip from our fear straight to di ground
For all di victims and the innocents we push in a sound
In memory of those who fall just for us to be free
We keep on singing Jah Jah music, well

We moving dung a Babylon and we no fear no one
No pope, no cop, no politician
We moving dung a Babylon, we coming from Zion
Yes, yes, we lion, oh

We moving dung a Babylon and we no fear no one
No pope, no cop, no politician
We moving dung a Babylon, we coming from Zion
Yes, yes, we lion

Woii, yeah, yeah, yeah
So much work we did already in di past
And so much more gonna put we on a test
But we just ready, we ready, we ready
We are the children of di blues rock steady, well
Reggae our gospel, Rasta our livity
We trying to pressure Babylon society
Dem wearing shoes, so we gonna walk bare foot
We pushing away their lies, promoting our truth, well

We moving dung a Babylon and we no fear no one
No pope, no cop, no politician
We moving dung a Babylon, we coming from Zion
Yes, yes, we lion, oh

We moving dung a Babylon and we no fear no one
No pope, no cop, no politician
We moving dung a Babylon, we coming from Zion
Yes, yes, we lion

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.
