This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Smack dab in the middle of a situation overlooked by fools
Tables turned, lessons learned, you get burned for playing by the rules
Time is lost, that's the cost, oh brother, you get shit on the end
Scrape for a dollar, you'll die smilin', learnin' the same lessons once again
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go
Oh brother, not another motherfucker
Gotta go now
(Right dude?
That's right!)
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go
Oh brother, not another motherfucker
Gotta go now
(Isn't that right, dude?
That's right, Gener, so right)
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go
Oh brother, not another motherfucker
Gotta go now
(Isn't that right, Gener? Tell me, tell me the truth
You're right, tell me again)
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go
Oh brother, not another motherfucker
Gotta go now (oh, check it out)
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go
Oh brother, not another motherfucker
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go
Oh brother, oh, take it
Smack dab in the middle of a situation overlooked by fools
Tables turned, lessons learned, you get burned for playing by the rules
(You know that happens, Gener!
And I know!)
Time is lost, that's the cost, oh brother, you get shit on the end
Scrape for a dollar, you'll die smilin', learnin' the same lessons once again
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go
Oh brother, not another motherfucker
Gotta go now
(Once again)
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go
Oh brother, not another motherfucker
Gotta go now
I think it's over now, Gener! (Gotta go now)
Oh God!
Tables turned, lessons learned, you get burned for playing by the rules

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."

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
this song is amazing smack down in a situation overlooked by fools is ofcourse about how school and the man pushes to hard on you you forget your indigenous essential human moments emotions and feelings anyone who remembers isnt a fool they flush our humanity out of us and no one forget they took our clothes when we need them if anybody's with me my fucking screenname is ilikejazz123 and id love to conspire about the government with you time is lost thats the cost if you do play by thew conceptual rul.es they will drive you crazy any thoughtsy ou have they will cut yoeru brains out nobody forget and my phone numberi s 1310 650 1099 if you're a fucking creeper get the hell away from me YOU GET SHIT ON IN THE END
cool story bro
This song sounds like something Gene and Dean came up with in 10 minutes, and yet... I can't NOT listen to it! It's so humorous with those silly voices and the way they keep going, "Isn't that right, Deaner?" "Oh, soo right." Quite funny.
^ lol.. take a breath, damn.
