Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
There's a rebellion on ice and you'll pay the price
As your freedom fades away
Dishonesty is high, so won't you even try
To stand up for your rights and say
We don't want your laws so take 'em back right now
They're bullshit anyhow
It's time we had our say the injustice cannot stay
They stabbed us in the back
And you can feel it bleeding if your heart's beating now
So let us hear your voice they said we have a choice
But I don't believe they really meant it so
We're gonna call their bluff 'cause we have had enough
Take the power back the foundation's gonna crack
I see the freedom at the end of the road
I've heard so many lies and I've taken the blows
Give it to me take it from me nobody knows
Sick of being used and I'm gonna explode
Total destruction all over the place
There is so much hate it's a fuckin' disgrace
Everyone is blind; can't see through the lies
But they aren't even looking at the wolves in disguise
So will you hear the call or let the judgments fall
This is it so wake up let's go
And track the liars down and then remove their crowns
And lash 'em with the binds they hold
We don't want your laws so take 'em back right now
They're bullshit anyhow
It's time we had our say the injustice cannot stay
They stabbed us in the back
And you can feel it bleeding if your heart's beating now
So let us hear your voice they said we have a choice
But I don't believe they really meant it so
We're gonna call their bluff 'cause we have had enough
Take the power back the foundation's gonna crack
I see the freedom at the end of the road
I've heard so many lies and I've taken the blows
Give it to me take it from me nobody knows
Sick of being used and I'm gonna explode
Total destruction all over the place
There is so much hate it's a fuckin' disgrace
Everyone is blind; can't see through the lies
But they aren't even looking at the wolves in disguise
And you can feel it bleeding if your heart's beating now
So let us hear your voice they said we have a choice
But I don't believe they really meant it so
We're gonna call their bluff 'cause we have had enough
Take the power back the foundation's gonna crack
I see the freedom at the end of the road
I've heard so many lies and I've taken the blows
Give it to me take it from me nobody knows
Sick of being used and I'm gonna explode
Total destruction all over the place
There is so much hate it's a fuckin' disgrace
Everyone is blind; can't see through the lies
But they aren't even looking at the wolves in disguise
So let's hear your voice or we wont have a choice
Haven't we had enough today?
Rebellion's on ice but we'll pay the price
Don't let our freedoms fade away
As your freedom fades away
Dishonesty is high, so won't you even try
To stand up for your rights and say
We don't want your laws so take 'em back right now

Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
He said to tell you we are looking forward to seeing all the octaves in your voice box. I had a fleeting thought of removing it, but that would take away all the fun. There wasn't a chance he'd let that happen anyways. Don't worry thought.. you're going to have an EMT standing by, just to keep reviving you. That's ALL, though. I personally don't care for the smell of burning flesh, so I'm probably going to wear a mask. Don't shame me.
