Sick of it All - Just Look Around

THE QUESTION THEY KEEP ASKING ME
HOW CAN ONE SO YOUNG BE SO BITTER AND ANGRY
THE ANSWER IS PLAIN TO SEE
MAYBE IF THEY WEREN'T SO BLIND THEY'D SEE WHAT I SEE
I SEE THE HOMELESS LIVIN' OUT ON THE STREET
ON EVERY CORNER THEY'RE ASKING FOR MONEY
I TRY TO HELP THEM WHENEVER I CAN
BUT SOMETIMES I CAN'T AFFORD TO HELP MYSELF
I SEE DISEASES AND MODERN PLAGUES OF OUR TIMES
THE GREED OF OUR LEADER HAS MADE THEM BLIND
TO OUR PROBLEMS
THEY SPEND MILLION OVERSEAS, PEOPLE RIGHT HERE
ARE FIGHTIN' WARS EVERYDAY

I SEE THE WHITES THAT HATE THE BLACKS
BLACKS AGAINST JEWS, RACE AGAINST RELIGION
AND THEY'RE ALL TOO BLIND TO SEE

WHEN WE FIGHT EACH OTHER IT PUTS ALL OF THEM AT EASE
IT KEEPS US SO BUSY, THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY PLEASE
ELECTION TIME COMES, AND THEY'RE OUT FOR VOTES
THAT'S WHEN YOU SEE AND HEAR FROM THEM THE MOST
THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE CALLIN' A DEMOCRACY
THAT'S JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR HYPOCRISY
WE KEEP FALLIN' FOR THE BAIT
WHEN WE REALIZE, IT'S ALWAYS TOO LATE

I SEE THE WHITES THAT HATE THE BLACKS
BLACKS AGAINST JEWS, BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER
AND THEY'RE ALL TOO BLIND TO SEE

AS THE RICH GET RICHER, THE POOR GOIN' HUNGRY
I'VE SEEN THE TOLL IT TAKES ON THE WORKINGMAN'S FAMILY
EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT'S OBSOLETE
CAN'T HOLD A KID'S INTEREST OR KEEP 'EM OFF THE STREET
SEE A FATHER'S FEAR, HEAR A MOTHER'S CRY
WHAT KIND OF NATION LETS THEIR CHILDREN DIE
GOVERNEMENT'S CORRUPT AND FULL OF RED TAPE
THEN YOU'RE GONNA ASK ME WHY I HATE

WHY DON'T YOU OPEN UP YOUR EYES SO YOU CAN SEE
OPEN UP YOUR EARS SO YOU CAN HEAR
TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND YOU WILL FIND
TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND YOU WILL FIND OUT WHY!!

Peter Schilling's Major Tom (Coming Home)

Standing there alone,
the ship is waiting.
All systems are go.
"Are you sure?"
Control is not convinced,
but the computer
has the evidence.
No need to abort.
The countdown starts.

Watching in a trance,
the crew is certain.
Nothing left to chance,
all is working.
Trying to relax
up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink."
jokes Major Tom.
The count goes on...

4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home...

Second stage is cut.
We're now in orbit.
Stabilizers up,
runnning perfect.
Starting to collect
requested data.
"What will it affect
when all is done?"
thinks Major Tom.

Back at ground control,
there is a problem.
"Go to rockets full."
Not responding.
"Hello Major Tom.
Are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on.
We're standing by."
There's no reply.

4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home...

Across the stratosphere,
a final message:
"Give my wife my love."
Then nothing more.

Far beneath the ship,
the world is mourning.
They don't realize
he's alive.
No one understands,
but Major Tom sees.
"Now the light commands
this is my home,
I'm coming home."

Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming home...
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming, coming
home...
home.....

lynard Skynard...The Ballad Of curtis Lowe

well I used to wake the mornin B4 the rooster crowed, searchin for soda bottles to get myself some doe. run down to the corner, down to the country store. cash umin and get my money to man named curtis lowe. Ol curt was a black man w/ white curly hair. when he had a bit of whine, he did not have a care. used to own an old doebro, used play it cross his knee. I give ol curt my money, he play day for me.

*chorus*
Play me a song curtis lowe, curtis lowe
I got you drinkin money, toone up your doebro
ppl say his useless, them ppl all were fools
cuz curtis lowe was the finest picker to ever play the blues

He looked to be 60 and babyI was 10. Mama used to woop me, but I'de go see him again. I'd clap my hands, stomp my feet to try and stay in town. He play me a song or two and take another drink of wine.

*repeat chorus*

yes sir..............

On the day ol curtis died, no body came to pray.ol preacher said some words and they chuked him in the clay. He lived a life time, playin the black mans blues, and ont he day he lost his life, thats all he had to loose

play me a song curtis lowe curtis lowe. I wish that use was here so everyone would know. ppl say he was useless, them ppl all were fools. cuz curtis your the finest picker to ever play the blues.......

One of my all-time favorites:

H-A-T-R-E-D! by Tonio K,

I know it's not unusual, it's nothing so unique,
I know there's probably hundreds of wonderful love afairs, go wrong in this town every week,
But all of those other, those sad-hearted lovers, could cry in their beer over me,
it wasn't my business, it wasn't my problem, I didn't have nothing to say!

Now suddenly darlin' the tables have turned, you've left me for somebody new,
and now its hard to express the resentment I feel for the years that I wasted on you.

But let me put this another way, OK?

(Chorus)

I'm full of H-A-T-R-E-D, I'm bitter, and maligned,
you've got me P-I-S-S-E-D off, you know I'm angry, most of the time,
why don't you G-O T-O H-E-double-L, you tramp you philandering B*,
I'm going to K-I-L-L one of us baby, when I'm sober I'll decide on which!

I know I'm acting immature, I'm acting like I child,
I should be trying to display some self control instead of standing here going wild!
Well I wish I were as mellow, as for instance Jackson Brown,
fountain of sorry my A*, M* F* I hope you wind up in the ground!

I'm full of ... (chorus)

[Jack_Dubious]

I like big butts and I cannot lie

My favorite song is Black by Pearl Jam.

Sheets of empty canvas.
Untouched sheets of clay were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul. As the earth to the sun.
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn.
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything.
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore.

And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds of what was everything.
All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed every day.

I take a walk outside. I'm surrounded by some kids at play.
Oh, I can feel their laughter. Oh, so why do I sear?
Ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head.
I'm spinning. Oh, I'm spinning.
How quick the sun can drop away.

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything.
All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed everything.
All the love gone bad turned my world to black.
Tattooed all I see. All that I am. All I'll be. Yeah.

Uh huh... Uh huh... Ooh.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life.
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?
Oh... Ohh yeah oh.
Do do do do do do do (x20 total) Yeah... Yeah...
Hi. (x6)
Yeah. (x3)

New Order


True Faith

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care cos I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun..

When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
And the value of destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun..

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun..

Check out Aaron Lewis' cover of Black. It is NICE. He's the lead singer of Staind, and definatly does the song justice. It's on the family values tour 2001 CD, and it's worth buying.

Dire Straits

Brothers In Arms

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let m you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

[ZyperioN]

how i wonder what you are
up above the world so high
like a diamond in the sky...

AFI, I love a lot of their songs, but Malleus Maleficarum has to be my favorite.

Open my eyes as I submerge and I won't deny what I've been since birth. I'll die drowned by your standards. Breathe in the life of the summmer's death as the orange and red breathe their first breath, so welcome as they're burning through. We all begin to burn. Autumn's flame dance's in my eyes Set alight for all we've learned. My ashes falling. My skin is singed but it heals my heart and with glowing pride I'll wear my scars. I'm honored by your hatred. Leaves fall we arise again, and the end impending, it will begin. So welcome as it's burning through. Ashes fall and I'm rising up again. Ashes fall. Ashes fall. Ashes fall as we all arise.

Of Greetings and Goodbyes is also a good one,

Now ending discreetly, just like a hidden sin, as I go under please tuck me in. Make me invisible. This hidden explosion calls for a wandering cast with no direction. Enter all monsters let us twist another fairy tale. Go kill the lights, we'll glow till morning comes. I'll say goodnight and bow to everyone. Then we go under. The beauties are sleeping as fruit just rots away. Today go hungry. Let it begin. Make me invincible. There was a weeping I carried down today, a sigh worth keeping. Deep within divinity let's star another secret show. No need to worry it is just another monster. No need to fear here in the secret show. No need to worry I am just another monster. In you, I'll see me, in the secret show.
