Is this promenade a musician?
And all that man can do is always compare original?
Doesn’t matter what I say all I know is I got it in me.
And why do all the other records sound the same?
And I can stay right here.
And I ain’t going off to pee.
But you won’t hear one word I say.
No you’re not listening.
So what I’m doing nothing here.
This time I’ll play when the talented people don’t show up.
If I don’t got nothing good to say
So then why say it?
And I can stay right here.
And I ain’t going off to pee.
But you won’t hear one word I say.
Shutup and say.
“Yeah. I thought the punk scene was about unity and creating an atmosphere of uh think for yourself. Do what you want and not care about what other people thought about you. It’s not about creating cliques and trying to take what punk is. Punk is what you want it to be. It’s about what anybody wants it to be. It’s about what you control it should be. Punk’s what you think it is.”
I’m just standing here and people doing philosophy.
And it won’t make one total difference on penny royalties.

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."
