VERSE
You bang other chicks
Sometimes you hide it
You take anything
If you don’t have to buy it
You have no age
And bonds for friends
Do whatever it takes
So it never has to end

CHORUS
Just ‘cause it feels good
Doesn’t mean it’s right
I know it sounds like it should but that just isn't life
Life has consequences
For all our actions
No one should suffer just for your satisfaction


VERSE 2
You think that love’s a trap
And dying young is rad
Cause dying's oh so sad
And you don’t wanna deal with that
The bender never ends
The feelings never sink
It’s better to pretend
That comfort’s in your dreams

CHORUS
Just ‘cause it feels good
Doesn’t mean it’s right
I know it sounds like it should but that just isn't life
Life has consequences
For all our actions
No one should suffer just for your satisfaction

BRIDGE
Feelin’ good but you’ve been stealing my feelings
When you’re feelin high, somebody else is low
Feelin’ good, being led by your feelings
But your feelings can’t think, they don’t know where to go


VERSE 3
You’ll never wake up
I’ll never calm down
To do what you want
And like what you do
You’ll never look back
You’ll never come around
Then what you tell yourself
Will turn into your truth

CHORUS
Just ‘cause it feels good
Doesn’t mean it’s right
I know it sounds like it should but that just isn't life
Life has consequences
For all our actions
No one should suffer just for your satisfaction

BRIDGE
Feelin’ good but you’ve been stealing my feelings
When you’re feelin high, somebody else is low
Feelin’ good, being led by your feelings
But your feelings can’t think, they don’t know where to go

CHORUS
Just ‘cause it feels good
Doesn’t mean it’s right
I know it sounds like it should but that just isn't life
Life has consequences
For all our actions
No one should suffer just for your satisfaction

    I think after Brooks says, You'll take anything/ If you don't have to buy it, he says You have no age/And phones for friends.

    first two lines are "you bang other chicks, sometimes you hide it." and yes it is "you have no age, and BUMS for friends" not phones, but otherwise youre right. also "the party never ends" is actually "the bender never ends." a few other things seem off but i have nothin for those.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
