We're piling it too high
Talk not saying anything
What we leave behind
What we can't afford to keep
There's no sympathetic posturing
There's no more true humanity
The old ways aren't working anymore
Let's separate the users
From the whores
Creepy crawl
Twist the 4-5 cap
To get wrapped
Tight slap the wax
On the wheels to feel alright
Find the flow freak
The funk like your in heat
Wrap the leaf
Strike the blunt
Now your in deep
We've got to get together
Got to get with the game plan
To defeat the dealer
That dealt this hand
I don't understand
Why the kids are killing kids
When the only one's that benefit
Are the big whigs
Mankind unkind
Always a fine line
We've all got to die
And this time it's my time
Hindsight blind fight
I hate it when I'm right
He destroys the world
While we sleep at night
Twist the 4-5 cap
And understand that
If it was up to me
I'd free Charles Manson
Throw it all away
Let's separate the users,
From the whores
What do we have to hope for
Why do we event try
Laughed at religion long ago
I doubt I'll be an angel when die

    grr... politics and a hint of religion, Mushroomhead believes in good morales and stuff, but not the "jesus" way...

    Let me break this all down...

    The word bwomp is an adjective for getting drunk ("dude, let's get bwomped tonite!") In the begining j-mann says:

    Got to get together got to get with the game plan/Defeat the Dealer that Dealt this hand/I don't understand why the kids are killing kids/when the only one that benefits is the big wigs./They're using death as a diversion on Capitol Hill/Hands in the Cookie Jar far from the Blood Spill/They want more power so they're trying to pass bills/To further exploit and contribute to the Landfill.

    obviously about the government, and he states one of the main points in the song... The govenrment is screwing us, basically...( see where I define the word bwomp...)

    Then jeffery pretty much is saying were losing ourselves as humans in our culture, it's destroying us, and we need to stop believeing the government(our old ways arent working anymore, seperate the users, from the whores) the government are the users, were the whores, and the old ways is our democracy and how it was set up, what were leaving behind, is killing us(were piling it to high) and were not doing anything about(talk not saying anything).

    J-mann is pretty much saying in the first few lines of his rap is that all this morale wrong doing isnt helping us out either(it also has something to do with what jeffery says later in the song) and he is pretty much saying, drugs, young-age sex(not nessicarily pre-marital), and the "ego" your expected to have in society, is helping us to fail as a society. Then the next line is saying, you know I'm right, so let's do something about it, and all the rest is pretty much self explanatory...

    Then he says" twist the 4-5 cap and understand that if it was up to me I'd free charles manson". As I stated before, wist the 4-5 cap is a way of saying get loose, or drink alcohol, get drunk. In the context he uses it means to "think outside the box, to understand that if it was up to me I'd free charles manson" What he says here is saying He'd rather see us get the people who are really destroying the country, rather than your average maniacs, because they arent killing our society, and thousands if not, hundreds of people.

    Then the last differing verse is: "What Do We Have To Hope For Why Do We Even Try Laughed At Religion Long Ago I Doubt I'll Be An Angel When I Die"

    He is saying no one is listening to what they are saying, so why do they try?, that's self explainatory...

    For the angel part, he is trying to spread a good word, and he can see the points in certain religious text, but he "laughed at them long ago" and even though the endorses some of the beliefs he, "doubts I'll be an angel when I die"

    I think this covers all of it...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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."
