Mastermind

Mindless Self Indulgence

I am the mastermind
Leaving you all behind
And that ain't no fuckin' lie!

I am the mastermind
It's just a problem of mine
It's like columbine
Columbine!

Your time has come
Kiss it all good-bye
Your time has come
Kiss it all good-bye

[Chorus]
What's that ruckus?
What's that ruckus?
What's that ruckus comin' through the night?
That's right
That's right
That's right

This message cannot be denied

[Chorus]

I am the mastermind
Underline mastermind
Until your pencil breaks

I am the mastermind
Just like a suicide
Your credit has been denied
Denied!

Your time has come
Kiss it all goodbye
Your time has come
Kiss it all goodbye

[Chorus]

This shit gonna turn your mama white

[Chorus]

That's right

Oh, Pennsylvania
Oh, Pennsylvania
Oh, Pennsylvania
Oh, Pennsylvania

I am the mastermind
Intelligent by design
It makes me wanna cry

I am the mastermind
And now that I'm satisfied
It's time to say goodbye
Good bye!

Your time has come
Kiss it all goodbye
Your time has come
Kiss it all goodbye

[Chorus]

That's right
I will not apologize

[Chorus]

That's right

    Did someone not get the message back when "You'll Rebel to Anything" came out? Jimmy said that because the fans had been so good to them, they owed it to the fans to start making "good music". So quit whining about them being "mainstream". They are trying to make better music for the loyal fans, quit whining and enjoy it!

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
