The Band? NOFX

"Idiots Are Taking Over"

it's not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership exceeding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
the industrial revolution
has flipped the b***h on evolution
the benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
the world keeps getting dumber
insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

darwin's rollin over in his coffin
the fittest are surviving much less often
now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
and im startin to feel a lot like charlton heston
stranded on a primate planet
apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
with generals and the armies that obeyed them
followers following fables
philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

there's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions

what are we left with?
a nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
pass on traditions
how to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

the idiots are takin over

Heh, NOFX are cool....

Since this thread has been reactivated I'm posting another one

'Alice' - The Sisters of Mercy

Quote:

Alice pressed against the wall
So she can see the door
In case the laughing strangers crawl and
Crush the petals on the floor

Alice in her party dress
She thanks you kindly
So serene
She needs you like she needs her tranqs
To tell her that the world is clean
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today

Pass the crystal spread the Tarot
In illusion comfort lies
The safest way the straight and narrow
No confusion no surprise

Alice in her party dressed to kill
She thanks you turns away
She needs you like she needs her pills
To tell her that the world's okay
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today

Alice
Don't give it away

TORN by Poison The Well

Feelings non-existent, loss of a tortured soul.
So cold and fearful, unnoticed and unclaimed.

Left as one alone, on the endless road.
To bear on for a lifetime, of loneliness.
She sits alone and slowly fades

away into nothingness and as she struggles on.

Her mind begins to wander.
Thoughts of endless bliss.

The wind her only friend.
Never again to be cared for.
She tries to hold her head up high.
Just a mask to hide the tears behind.
Only wanting to die, As they sit by and watch

Another dead existence, dreams torn apart.
As the spirit dies. Hiding behind the lies.

And silent darkness.

DIXIE

Southerners, hear your country call you,
Up, lest worse than death befall you!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Lo! All the beacon-fires are lighted, --
Let all hearts be now united!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Advance the flag of Dixie!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Dixie's land we take our stand,
and live or die for Dixie!
To arms! To arms!
And conquer peace for Dixie!
To arms! To arms!
And conquer peace for Dixie!
Oh Hear the Northern thunders mutter!
Northern flags in South winds flutter!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Send them back your fierce defiance!
Stamp upon the cursed alliance!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Chorus
Fear no danger! Shun no labor!
Lift up rifle, pike, and saber!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Shoulder pressing close to shoulder;
Let the odds make each heart bolder!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Chorus
Then I wish I were in Dixie
Hurrah, Hurrah
In Dixie Land we take our stand to live and die for Dixie
Oh way, oh way, oh way down south... in Dixie!

"I'm So Bored With the U.S.A." - The Clash

Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
But now he can't afford a bag

Yankee dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
An' they can't afford to miss a word

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?

Yankee detectives
Are always on the TV
'Cos killers in America
Work seven days a week

Never mind the stars and stripes
Let's print the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Wave
And I hope nobody escapes

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?

Move up Starsky
For the C.I.A.
Suck on Kojak
For the USA

This song describes the way that I wish that the world was

Quote:

Imagine

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
No religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a Dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Imagine no possesions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Shareing all the world

You may say I'm a Dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Make Love, Not War

One of my favorites is "Don't Laugh At Me" by Brad Paisley

I'm that little boy with glasses,
the one they call a geek
the little girl who never smiles,
'cause I got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep

I'm that kid on the playground
who's always chosen last
A single teenage mother,
trying to over come my past,
You don't have to be my friend, if it's too much to ask.

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your plesure from my pain
In God's eyes were all the same
someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm a cripple on the corner,
You pass me on the street.
I wouldn't be out here beggin'
If I had enough to eat
You don't think i don't notice
That our eyes never meet.

I lost my wife and little boy
Somewhere 'cross that yellow line
The day we laid them in the ground
Is the day i lost my mind
Right now I'm down to lovin
This little cardboard sign

So, Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your plesure from my pain
In God's eyes were all the same
someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall,
I'm deaf, I'm blind Hey arn't we all?

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your plesure from my pain
In God's eyes were all the same
someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

Very depressing, but it really gets to me. Very powerful song for me.

I want it to be known, even though the last song I posted was the Confederate States of America national anthem, I am, nor will ever be a redneck or Anti-American

@CockneyRebel:

eMOTIVE by A Perfect Circle owns.

@maddogtitan:

GOD NO! god no, not THAT song! I HATE THAT SONG! NO NO NO NO NO!

Anyways, I'd post the song "Aenema" by tool, but I bet I'd get banned fast.

Band: Tool
Album: Lateralus
Song: Lateralus

Quote:

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going...

Nah, might need to make a thread for 'parental advisory' song lyrics in mature forum though... :lol:

I love Tool and APC. Lateralus is a great album - Parabola is probably my favourite track on it.

Here's another one of my faves!

Quote:

(harmonica music)

I never read it in a book,
i never saw it on a show,
but i heard it in the alley,
on a weird radio,
If you want a drink of water,
you got to get it from a well,
If you want to get to Heaven,
you got to raise a little h***!

I never read it in a book,
i never saw it on a show,
but i heard it in the alley,
now it's in my heart and soul,
If you want to know a secret,
you got to promise not to tell,
If you want to get to Heaven,
you got to raise a little h***!

I never read it in a book,
i never saw it on a show,
but i heard it in the alley,
now i want you to know,
If you want to get some money,
you got to find somethin' to sell,
If you want to get to Heaven,
you got to raise a little h***!

(more harmonica music)

If you want to get to Heaven...
If you want to get to Heaven...
If you want to get to Heaven...
If you want to get to Heaven...

(End music)

Rouges; March
Shut up and Drink

It's four a.m. now
and I'm falling on the floor.
I just need one more drink'
just one more
The lady on my left
buys me a glass of gin
She may be Irish Catholic but she's awful fond of sin.
F**k 'everything, shut up and drink.
I don't want to hear your s**t tonight
I don't want to think
It's six a.m. now
and the lady said goodbye
Left me alone with Tommy 'cause the bottom shelf was dry
He belts Delta Dawn like a trucker from the South
But Alabama boys don't throw Guinness down their mouths
Eight a.m. now?just fell out of a cab
Said a quick prayer for Tommy'
I guess it's kind of sad
He's a little closer to heaven, slumped headfirst in his bar
He may be an alcoholic, but he wants to be a star
No! Well, maybe! Yes, baby! One more!

Once again I thought I'd make a landmark post (1000 posts!! ! w00t) with a favourite song lyric...

This one is Plasticine by Placebo.

Quote:

Beauty lies inside the eye of another youthful dream
That doesn't sell its soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine
Beauty lies inside desire and every wayward heart redeemed
That doesn't sell its soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine

Don't forget to be the way you are (x4)

The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on
anything
Don't go and sell your soul for self-esteem
Don't be plasticine

Don't forget to be the way you are (x4)
And don't forget to be the way you are (x4)
The way you are...

I have so many favourite songs. I think I am obsessive with song lyrics at times. Well, according to my ex boyfriend, but he didn't understand me.

Here's one of my favourite songs for lyrics, and also it has beautiful music:
Matt Nathanson - I Saw

it's amazing the look in your eyes
like you could save me
but you won't even try
then you tell me again
how everything will be alright

if I told you that I'm sorry
would you tell me you were wrong?
or would you hold me down forever
if I came to you for answers

I saw pictures in my head
and I swear I saw you opening up again
and I would be heavenly if baby you'd just rescue me now

while I'm surrounded, you spill
all alive and brand new
and I'll forget about you long enough
to forget why I need to

I saw pictures in my head
and I swear I saw you opening up again
and I would be heavenly if baby you'd just rescue me now

the days are drifting away from me
I still wake up burning through everthing
it's all I know
somebody save me now

and I saw pictures in my head
and I swear I saw you opening up again
and I would be heavenly if baby you'd just rescue me now

The lyrics to this song say exactly how I have been feeling for the last month or so It's "I Can't Catch You" by Sixpence None The Richer.

I guess you could say I'm a little afraid
What if you go away?
I've seen it before
I've been there before
If I have to love myself
Tell me how to love myself
What's there to love about myself?
I just wanted to see that as a person you want me,
as a person you want me

But I'm feeling the pain of all these bags in the way
And I'm thinking you're just gonna run away
And I can't catch you

I guess you could say
That I want you to stay
Cause you have this strange knack
Adds a glow to my black
As you chase it all away
'And I hope that you can see
I will someday leave these things
I am wanting to be free

But I'm feeling the pain of all these bags in the way
And I'm thinking you're just gonna run away
And I can't catch you
Oh, I want to catch you
