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.
This is me, black and most hated in all fifty
From Genocide to Swastikas and right wing committees
This is me, the witness to governmental conspiracy
Overcrowded cells breed addicts to feed my street
This is me, the one the Aryan nation wanna touch
Burn my church, set me up, hog tie, wet me up
And at the same time my own block, hold a nine
And a bullet with my name in case I go against the grain
America sleeps, while children play with cyber sex
And my neighbor's hard to love 'cause I know he child molests
Money manifest the greed, greed manifest the murder
Murder manifest revenge to hold the cycle of the sin
But I shot Lucifer, Christ compelled me
Christ compelled me, we bring the truth to life
I shocked the world with it, shocked the world with it
A governmental conspiracy to murder me
Descendants of Charles Manson never seem to cease
'cause everyday man impregnates the belly of the beast
This is me, in the United States of Amnesia
Your state of a union don't address me
When my block is in the seizure
This is me, the revolution televised in the century
Millennium Armageddon, every time you ever mention
This is me, I fight holy wars with the dot coms
Raise wars and modern Vietnams, they yellin'
This is me, I circle your retreat
I'm standing at the foot of marshall law
And I watch my homies bleed
America sleeps, and money got the kids impressed
Put the president in jail, he in office having sex
Politicans ain't real, motherfuck the police
In the cells on the inside, the jails and the streets
But I shot Lucifer, Christ compelled me
Christ compelled me, we bring the truth to life
I shocked the world with it, shocked the world with it
A governmental conspiracy to murder me
I shot Lucifer, Christ compelled me
Christ compelled me, we bring the truth to life
I shocked the world with it, shocked the world with it
A governmental conspiracy to murder me
I am the Alpha to the seventh power
Omega in its last hours
I am the Alpha to the seventh power
Omega in its last hours
I am the Alpha to the seventh power
Omega in its last hours
I am the Alpha to the seventh power
Omega in its last hours, do you hear me?
I am the Alpha to the seventh power
Omega in its last hours
Electrical towers and meteor showers
All get devoured
Expose the cowards
Chaos and power
The Devil is yours, the Lord is ours
I shot Lucifer, Christ compelled me
Christ compelled me, we bring the truth to life
I shocked the world with it, shocked the world with it
A governmental conspiracy to murder me
I shot Lucifer, Christ compelled me
Christ compelled me, Christ compelled me
I shocked the world with it, shocked the world with it
A governmental conspiracy to murder me
I shot Lucifer, I shot Lucifer
I shot Lucifer, I shot Lucifer
I shot Lucifer, I shot Lucifer
From Genocide to Swastikas and right wing committees
This is me, the witness to governmental conspiracy
Overcrowded cells breed addicts to feed my street
This is me, the one the Aryan nation wanna touch
Burn my church, set me up, hog tie, wet me up
And at the same time my own block, hold a nine
And a bullet with my name in case I go against the grain
America sleeps, while children play with cyber sex
And my neighbor's hard to love 'cause I know he child molests

Murder manifest revenge to hold the cycle of the sin

I shot Lucifer, I shot Lucifer
I shot Lucifer, I shot Lucifer

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
