There will be no parades for the likes of us
The wars we fight are doomed to be lost
I've seen the reflections of my broken blood
The callous deception of never giving up

No stranger to the cause
No stranger to these wars

We dream no more no shock and awe
Nowhere to go for rock and roll
A blue screen for a tribal heart
The sequels of forgotten wars

I twist and I turn towards apocalypse
I pose for effect before your deadly kiss
Echo echo in a chamber of purity
To a lip-synced moral maze soliloquy

No stranger to this cause
Still a stranger in these parts

Progressive thoughts for idle hands
Platforms for corrupted friends
A blue screen for a tribal heart
The sequels of forgotten wars

No medication
Left to take
Just defeat and the bitterest of tastes
A blue screen for
A drama whore
The sequels of forgotten wars

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
