I Want More

Suicidal Tendencies

In times of trouble fall to my knees and I look to the sky
Cause me, me I want more
The classification of our heart's a sin
Cause me, me I want more

Don't want to pump nobody's gas-I want more
Don't want to kiss my boss's ass-I want more
Don't want to take the first job I find-I want more
Don't want to dig coal out of a mine-I want more

[Chorus]
Slaving in a factory, a different kind of insanity
Feels like I'm locked in a cage
Working like a maniac, gave myself a heart attack
For a job that pays minimum wage

Don't want to work at the golden arches-I want more
Don't want to was no rich man's cars-I want more
Don't want to be nobody's gardener-I want more
Don't want to be no garbage man-I want more

[Chorus]

I sit and reflect about all that I've learned and all that I've seen
Cause me me I want more
The memories come and they go away
Cause me me I want more

Don't want to pump nobody's gas-I want more
Don't want to kiss my boss's ass-I want more
Don't want to take the first job I find-I want more
Don't want to dig coal out of a mine-I want more
I want more

    Fuckin' a Mike! What a great song for the youth of today. Mike raises a few good points, so the moral of this song IMO is head down and study, study, study so that all your dreams hopefully become a reality. Nice song, This band deserves major props.

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.
