Hey Kid! Yeah you! You see I dropped my pencil. Pick It up! Hurry up! Watcha waitin' for? Don't be so slow! We got our eyes, got our eyes on you. We got our eyes, got our eyes on you boy. We got our eyes, got our eyes on you. We got our eyes, gotterdammerung Deutschland. Fatheads hold on me down and say, "You've got a lot to learn!" I get beat up everyday, I've got a lot to learn!" Milk will make me strong, you say, drink it and you will see but it seems that cows have better sense than me, yeah. Hey kid! Yeah you! Gonna hit you with a ball in gym class. Gonna dress you up in girl's clothes. Gonna throw my fist at your nose and if you try to escape us gonna get you when we're on the school bus. Carpet fibers in my teeth, I've got a lot to learn. What about my self-esteem? I've got a lot to learn. Milk will make me strong, you say, drink it and you will see but it seems that cows have better sense then me, yeah. Getting strong, it takes too long to become like Henry Rollins Every dog has his day one day you'll see me. I know things that you don't know, you've got a lot to learn. My bones will break before they grow, I've got a lot to learn. Milk will make me strong, you say, drink it and you will see but on the side of a milk carton is where I'll be, yeah.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
