Now you could get a lot out’it, as much as gluttony’ll allow.
One day we’ll look back & cry about it; there’s nothing you can do about it now.
You probably don’t even know you want it; it’s easier done than said.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. Go on, do what you do best instead.

Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(I tried to plant the seed...)
Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(To get you freed.)

It’s just too easy to laugh about it, such reliable reticence.
Aren’t you even glad they caught you chugging your own medicine?
Why don’t you hunt down everybody & show ‘em how you get around.
Yeah, you get around.
You’re just a decoy anyway. You’re a pretty patsy anyhow.

Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(I must’ve hit a nerve.)
Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(Hadn’t you heard?)

Yeah, I know what you believe in,
Your duty to dish it out.
But you’ve had more than your share of even.
Can you refute me beyond a doubt?
I doubt, I doubt.

Now did you ever consider that you yourself could be the beast that they warned you about?
Of course you didn’t. You’re proud to pride yourself on everything you disavow.

Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(Just like before.)
Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(You sure are sore.)
Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(You sure you don’t want more?)
Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
Gone and done it, gone and done it now.

    This is a fun, clever song about exposing the facade of talking heads from either the liberal or the conservative agenda (I'm not indecisive, just meant it was written to apply to both sides - and, of course, it even stretches beyond political agendas).

    Watch how the media or even the Internet overhypes certain people, who the general public often recognize are not as intelligent as they portray themselves, while that particular talking head truly believes in his/her own image. Exposed for hypocrisy, that person is cast aside by the public and media with no empathy for the person's humanity, ironically due to that person's own displays of superiority during their proverbial 15-seconds of fame.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
