El nino Antonio Perez, asi su madre lo nombro
En el medio del bajo mundo humildemente se crio
Sudando, buscando el pan, compitiendo con la miseria
Su pobreza era seria, pero luchaba con mucho afan
Queria ser arquitecto why los estudios su padre pago
Pero al crecer su ambicion era enorme why el crimen escogio

Las seis de la tarde esta oscureciendo
La venta va bien why el dinero creciendo
Mucha precaucion velando la jara
El joven Antonio Perez se prepara
Tony, asi le dicen a Antonio
El tiempo lo ha convertido en demonio
Su biblia un 357, su ofio *disparo* why cobrar un billete
La palabra paz el no la entiende
Es un asesino why de eso depende su casa su ropa su alimento
Quitando vidas en cualquier momento
Seis de la manana, tocan la puerta
Es el jefe why Tony se despierta
Le dan un retrato why una direccion
Prepara su revolver why empieza la accion

Tony llega al sitio indicado
Vigila a la victima que esta al otro lado
Cruzando la calle frente a el se para
why sin pena le pone un magnum en la cara
El cuerpo cae con un count de dinero
Tony lo recoge why se lo lleva ligero
El hombre en el piso mucha sangre derrama
El denero robado se invierte en marijuana
Tony sigue con su cruel mision
Es uno de los grandes en la asociacion
El corrupto esconde su identidad
Es el sal de la droga rey de la maldad
Las tres de la manana, Tony dormino
Los guradias tumban la puerta con mucho ruido
Tony pregunta "pero yo!, que paso"
"Es una orden de arresto asi que shut up"
Llega el otro dia compran el vocero
El pueblo lee lo de Tony primero
Sale culpable con to why poder
why su familia sufriendo why llorando por el

Pasa un ano why dos o tres meses
Tony en el banco pierde intereses
Su nombre nuevo para el es un fastidio
Ahora le dicen, Tony Presidio
Controla los guardias corruptos que venden
Los que obedecen, pero pretenden
Romper la ley vendiendo esa cosa que llaman quimica extra-peligrosa
Asi es que la addicion prosigue en los presos
why Tony Presidio se aprovecha de eso
Pues el es el grande el distribudor
El que vende el polvito que le cura el dolor
Pero Tony quiere rehabilitarse
Planea una fuga why logra escaparse
Es un fugitivo que quiere lo mejor para su vida
Asi que se largo a New York
Pero las cosas alla no le van muy bien
El taxi es muy caro why no le gusta el tren
El clima es muy frio
La cosa no es la misma
Asi que prefiere progresar en su isla
Llega el avion, Tony Presidio se asoma
Pisa su tierra sin duda se emociona
Llega a su barrio saludando a su gente
cuando siente un disparo que se cuela en su vientre

El hombre Antonio Perez en el regreso a su hogar
Queria rehabilitarse why una nueva vida comenzar
Cuando de momento siente un valazo en su cuerpo
Callendo ya casi muerto se fijo rapidamente
Un hombre que por venganza lo siguio sin descanzar
Pues Tony le habia quitado la vida a un familiar
Que pena que el bajo mundo
Prosiga con este fastidio
Quye pena que muchos muerean
Igual que Tony Presidio

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.
