210 Dog Years

One Minute Silence

Jesus Christ, I feel like taking life
I'm screaming 'peace' but know its price
And you all screaming 'bigger slice'
My god - I don't need this
1.3 billion people live on the equivalent of less than one dollar a day
STOP!
Keep talking, keep talking, keep talking
MADNESS!
The world spends 780 billion dollars every year on weapons of war
STOP!
Keep talking, keep talking, keep talking
MADNESS!
4.7 million children under the age of five die every year in south Asia
STOP!
Keep talking, keep talking, keep talking
MADNESS!
An estimated 2 million children have been killed in armed conflicts in the past decade
STOP!
Keep talking, keep talking, keep talking
MADNESS!
Lighten up a little
Lighten up a little
Lighten up a little
I feel like
Jesus Christ I've seen and said it all
I've seen the writing on the wall
And brick by brick this world will fall
My god - I don't need it
Estimated number of people in the world who go to bed hungry every night - 800 million
STOP!
Keep talking, keep talking, keep talking
MADNESS!
More than 90 per cent of the victims of today's wars are civilians
STOP!
Keep talking, keep talking, keep talking
MADNESS!
1.2 million people have died in Iraq since 1991 because of sanctions placed on food and medical aid
STOP!
Keep talking, keep talking, keep talking
MADNESS!
Cost of America's 21 B2 bombers: 42 Billion
STOP!
Keep talking, keep talking, keep talking
MADNESS!
210 dog years, still alive, still here, no religion, no flag, no fear, slip into fifth gear
And move, those who would disapprove can suck my dick, say sorry?
Like fuck am I, those who wish to see me dead can die, the self righteous, step up
And I might just see you saved, remember my face when you go to the grave,
Fuck you, every last one of you, from the top down to the bottom, and that includes you, pig.
My god is awake, my god is alive,
My god is awake, my god has arrived
My god is awake, my god is alive,
My god is awake, my god has arrived

    pig doesn't have to be a nickname for the police, although i do agree in this instance

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
