Uh
Rolled up
Rolled up again
Rolled up
Right in front of my friends
I was rockin' like a star
And now I'm sitting in this smoky cell
Closed down all the bars
'cause I need you
Sad but true
Please Please
Come get me out of jail
You're my only friend
Who's got something to live
That I know
Post my bail
Cheese sandwich, Orange Juice
I've even had to fight to keep my shoes
I don't got no phone or credit cards to use
And it's late at night and this calling card's gonna have to do
Sad but true
Come get me out of jail
'cause I need you
Please Please
You're my only friend
That I know
Who's got something to live
Post my bail
And if pull it, that's the place, that's the world
Have you ever had a brother man but not of control
Ever had a brother man but not of control
One take the lord, send your deepest regards
Get gaserated and the cell smells like beer
Last thing I remember, I heard the last call
Try to wake someone up and get the hell out of here
(Aww man I better get out of here)
My pocket's controlled by alcohol
And Lita is my angel
Been once been once that boat bad
Cheri's down, bail you out
She's gonna need no id
I've been floating on the sea
Nooo no
You better not mess 'em around
Sad but true
Well I got caught with 10 pounds
'cause I need you
Come get me out of jail
Please Please
You're my only friend
That I know
Who's got something to live
Post my bail
Rolled up

    Is it just me or are there many errors in these lyrics? For example: got something to live = got something to lend calling card = collect call get gaserated = incarcerated

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
