Du Musst ein Schwein Sein

Prinzen

Ich war immer freundlich, lieb und nett
Kriegte nie irgend 'ne Frau ins Bett
Und dann auf Macho, cool und arrogant
Plötzlich kamen sie angerannt

Und wieder seh' ich, wie's im Leben läuft
Wer hart ist, laut und sich besäuft
Kommt bei den Frauen besser an
Wer will schon 'nen lieben Mann

Daraus ziehst du Konsequenzen
Und du schaltest um auf schlecht
Die Welt ist ein Gerichtssaal
Und die bösen Kriegen Recht (die bösen kriegen Recht)

Du musst ein Schwein sein in dieser Welt
Schwein sein
Du musst gemein sein in dieser Welt
Gemein sein
Denn willst du ehrlich durch's Leben gehen
Ehrlich (ehrlich)
Kriegst 'n Arschtritt als Danke schön
Gefährlich (gefährlich)

Weil ich weiß, dass ich's mir leisten kann
Stell' ich mich überall vorne an
Und ist einer sanft und schwach
Hör' mal, wie ich drüber lach'
Ohrenschmalz und Kragenspeck
Mundgeruch und Nageldreck
Achselschweiß (Schweiß) im Überfluss
Fettfrisur und Käsefuß
Nimm mich jetzt, auch wenn ich stinke
Denn sonst sag' ich: „Winke-Winke“
Obwohl mich keiner mag
Sitz' ich bald im Bundestag

Du musst ein Schwein sein in dieser Welt
Schwein sein
Du musst gemein sein in dieser Welt
Gemein sein
Denn willst du ehrlich durch's Leben gehen
Ehrlich (ehrlich)
Kriegst 'n Arschtritt als Danke schön
Gefährlich (gefährlich, gefährlich, gefährlich)

Gefährlich
Gefährlich

Du musst ein Schwein sein in dieser Welt
Schwein sein (Schwein sein)
Du musst gemein sein in dieser Welt
Gemein sein
Denn willst du ehrlich durch's Leben gehen
Ehrlich (ehrlich)
Kriegst 'n Arschtritt als Danke schön
Gefährlich (gefährlich, gefährlich)

Du musst ein Schwein sein in dieser Welt, Schwein sein

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
