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.
Stand up sit down, baby
Gonna be a formal dressdown hey day
We decide why not go downtown
How about you and me we go get wasted
You'll have, you'll have to excuse me
Please please, please excuse me
You'll have, you'll have to excuse me
This will be my first time
By definition from grade school to english 30
We quickly become strong so early
Take it or leave it they can't believe it
They go from kindergarten to killing sprees
They go heartache to inner peace
100 foot ceilings 100 percent deceit
He sais let's leave this between you and me
My cats watch my stuff leve my house
Between you and me the cat burglars are
What did you see what did you steal
Tell me baby how does it feel
Yeah how do you feel
It's a top ten list of things
That move me the most
It's a top ten list of things
That bother me the most
A top ten list of things
That scare me the most
I'd have to say that the future
Wasting time in the fast food line
I decide to walk the fine line
And celebrate life celebrate death
I choose to celebrate the first
I celebrate the first
We decide to go out walking
The whole time that you're talking
Convinced that we're living
Whole time that we're dying
We decide to go out walking
The whole time that we're talking
Convinced that you're living
The whole time that I'm dying
Keeps me on my toes
Where did the time go
You keep me on my toes
Where did the time go
On the edge of town
Where the gravel's thin
They're gonna wear you down
Until you're thin and tired, tired, tired
Of wasting time in the fast food line
I decide to walk the fine line and
Celebrate life celebrate death
I choose to celebrate
The first to come the first to go
The first to say yes
First to say no
Gonna be a formal dressdown hey day
We decide why not go downtown
How about you and me we go get wasted
You'll have, you'll have to excuse me
Please please, please excuse me
You'll have, you'll have to excuse me
This will be my first time
By definition from grade school to english 30
We quickly become strong so early
Take it or leave it they can't believe it
They go from kindergarten to killing sprees
They go heartache to inner peace
100 foot ceilings 100 percent deceit
He sais let's leave this between you and me
My cats watch my stuff leve my house
Between you and me the cat burglars are
What did you see what did you steal
Tell me baby how does it feel
Yeah how do you feel
It's a top ten list of things
That move me the most
It's a top ten list of things
That bother me the most
A top ten list of things
That scare me the most
I'd have to say that the future
Wasting time in the fast food line
I decide to walk the fine line
And celebrate life celebrate death
I choose to celebrate the first
I celebrate the first
We decide to go out walking
The whole time that you're talking
Convinced that we're living
Whole time that we're dying
We decide to go out walking
The whole time that we're talking
Convinced that you're living
The whole time that I'm dying
Keeps me on my toes
Where did the time go
You keep me on my toes
Where did the time go
On the edge of town
Where the gravel's thin
They're gonna wear you down
Until you're thin and tired, tired, tired
Of wasting time in the fast food line
I decide to walk the fine line and
Celebrate life celebrate death
I choose to celebrate
The first to come the first to go
The first to say yes
First to say no

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
