Hey guys, what are some fo your favourite songs just because of the lyrics? :beam: Heres one of my favourites by Tom McRae… I ain’t scared of lightning Come on and do your worst If they gave degrees For cheating destiny Then man I got a first No I ain’t scared of lightning It’s the same old empty threat I’ve been standing proud Beneath the gathering cloud And man I ain’t dead yet No I ain’t scared of lightning And thunder never killed I was born in a summer storm I live there still Yeah I was born in a summer storm I live there still So what are some of yours? - Soul :goatee: ---

OAR (of a revolution):: “I Feel Home” There are few things pure in this world anymore, and home is one of the few. We’d have a drink outside, maybe run and hide if we saw a couple men in blue. To me it’s so ■■■■ easy to see that true people are the people at home. Well, I’ve been away but now I’m back today, and there aint a place I’d rather go. I feel home, when I see the faces that remember my own. I feel home, when I’m chillin outside with the people I know. I feel home, and that’s just what I feel. Home is reality, and all I need is something real. Feelin alright, headin out tonight, maybe out to a dark driveway. I say now some feel bored, and some are lookin for more. Well, we all just decide to stay. We got nothin to do, and I look at you I see something that I know and love. and with the crack of a smile we all stay a while we know from home there aint nothing above. ---

OH MAN i have so many but 2pac’s verses in Me Against the World i love to death Verse One: 2Pac Can you picture my prophecy? Stress in the city, the cops is hot for me The projects is full of bullets, the bodies is droppin There ain’t no stoppin me Constantly movin while makin millions Witnessin killings, leavin dead bodies in abandoned buildings Carries to children cause they’re illin Addicted to killin and the appeal from the cap peelin Without feelin, but will they last or be blasted? Hard headed bastard Maybe he’ll listen in his casket – the aftermath More bodies being buried – I’m losing my homies in a hurry They’re relocating to the cemetary Got me worried, stressin, my vision’s blurried The question is will I live? No one in the world loves me I’m headed for danger, don’t trust strangers Put one in the chamber whenever I’m feelin this anger Don’t wanna make excuses, cause this is how it is What’s the use unless we’re shootin no one notices the youth It’s just me against the world baby Chorus — Personally i think THIS is the best part in the whole song… Verse Three: 2Pac With all this extra stressin The question I wonder is after death, after my last breath When will I finaly get to rest? Through this supression they punish the people that’s askin questions And those that possess, steal from the ones without possesions The message I stress: to make it stop study your lessons Don’t settle for less - even the genius asks-es questions Be grateful for blessings Don’t ever change, keep your essence The power is in the people and politics we address Always do your best, don’t let the pressure make you panic And when you get stranded And things don’t go the way you planned it Dreamin of riches, in a position of makin a difference Politicians and hypocrites, they don’t wanna listen If I’m insane, it’s the fame made a brother change It wasn’t nuttin like the game It’s just me against the world oh and nice topic Soul if anyone would like to see whole song go to [http://ohhla.com/anonymous/tupac/matworld/theworld.2pc.txt](http://ohhla.com/anonymous/tupac/matworld/theworld.2pc.txt) ---

ive got quite a few “Pink floyd - Vegetable Man” In yellow shoes I get the blues Though I walk the streets with my plastic feet With my blue velvet trousers, make me feel pink There’s a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers In my paisley shirt I look a jerk And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight But oh oh my haircut looks so bad Vegetable man how are you? So I’ve changed my dear, and I find my knees, And I covered them up with the latest cut, And my pants and socks all point in a box, They don’t make long of my nylon socks, The watch, black watch My watch with a black face And a big pin, a little hole, And all the lot is what I got, It’s what I wear, it’s what you see, It must be me, it’s what I am, Vegetable man. I’ve been looking all over the place for a place for me, But it ain’t anywhere, it just ain’t anywhere. Vegetable man, vegetable man, He’s the kind of person, you just gonna see him if you can, Vegetable man. “Less than jake - Malt Liquor Tastes Better When You’ve Got Problems” And I’ve been so busy trying that I’ve only wound up living weekend to weekend getting by just simply “trying” And I should be out looking for a job but only wind up heading for a stiff drink left with nothing else so I think “it’s time to stumble home” So I say Hello to wasted hours and I say bottoms up to better days I’ve been so busy dying that I’ve always wound up living paycheck to paycheck scraping by but hardly trying what will it take to get me out of bed when half the check goes to rent the other half goes to debt I should be out looking for another job Instead I stumble home Another day not trying there’s no one left to blame it’s just the routine and the repetition I’ve spun out of control and i cant find the lyrics for effervesing Elephant -Tom ---

\Bowling for Soup All Figured Out \ I was the one who had sh\*t for brains I never took the time to notice that I was always wrong and you weren’t You were the one who gave up sp many things Took you for granted But you understanded It was just a phase [bridge] And I’ve got a new direction A blueprint for erection of a new life It’s such a simple situation Some kind of masturbation With a new twist I don’t know why [chorus] I’ve got it all figured out We can ,make it And I’ll never let you down Just take my hand And understand There’s a lot of tomorrows I let you down You had no complaints Watched as the world went spinn’ Around wihout you You waited for me You wanted diamonds I came up with rollerblades Shot down again but you smiled Shook your head And knew that I changed I love this song.

FORTUNE TELLER (Naomi Neville) Oh oh oh Oh oh oh I went to a fortune teller To have my fortune read I didn’t know what to tell her I had a dizzy feeling in my head Then she took a look at my palm She said sonny you feel kind of warm She looked into her crystal ball She said you’re in love I said how could that be so I’m not tight with none of the chicks I know She said before the next sunrise You’ll be looking into her eyes, and I said… Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh I left there in a hurry Lookin’ forward to my big surprise The next day I discovered That the fortune teller told me a lie I hurried back down to that woman Mad as I could be I told her I didn’t see nobody Why she made a fool of me Then something struck me As if it came from up above While looking at the fortune teller I fell in love Now I’m a happy fella I’m married to the fortune teller We’re happy as we can be Now I get my fortune told for free Oh oh oh Oh oh oh This song is kinda like my life… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

PANTERA 5 MINUTES ALONE > I see you had your mind all made up you group of > Pitiful liars. Before I woke to face the day, your master > Plan transpired. -Something told me- this job had more to > Meet the eye. My song is not believed? My words some- > What deceiving? Now I’m unwhole. You’ve waged a war of nerves But you can’t crush the kingdom Can’t be what your idols are. Can’t leave the scar. You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us… 5 minutes alone I read your eyes, your mind was made up. You took me for A fool. You used complexion of my skin for a counter Rascist tool. -You can’t burn me- I’ve spilled my guts out In the past. Taken advantage of because you know where I’ve come [from]. My past. You’ve waged a war of nerves But you can’t crush the kingdom Can’t be what your idols are. Can’t leave the scar. You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us… FIVE MINUTES ALONE This has to be one of may favorite songs. Angry, loud, and straight to the point. ---

Rage Against the Machine: Bullet in the Head This time the bullet cold rocked ya A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika Nothin’ proper about ya propaganda Fools follow rules when the set commands ya Said it was blue When ya blood was red That’s how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head Blasted through ya head Blasted through ya head I give a shout out to the living dead Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralised So serene on the screen You was mesmerised Cellular phones soundin’ a death tone Corporations cold Turn ya to stone before ya realise They load the clip in omnicolour Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz And mutha f\*ckas lost their minds CHORUS: Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Yeah Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Run it! CHORUS Check-a, check-a, check it out They load the clip in omnicolour Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz And mutha f\*ckas lost their minds No escape from the mass mind rape Play it again jack and then rewind the tape And then play it again and again and again Until ya mind is locked in Believin’ all the lies that they’re tellin’ ya Buyin’ all the products that they’re sellin’ ya They say jump and ya say how high Ya brain-dead Ya gotta f\*ckin’ bullet in ya head CHORUS: Uggh! Yeah! Yea! Ya standin’ in line Believin’ the lies Ya bowin’ down to the flag Ya gotta bullet in ya head (x2) A bullet in ya head (x8) A bullet in ya head (x7) Ya gotta bullet in ya f\*ckin’ head!

Pantera Domination Agony is the price That you’ll pay in the end Domination consumes you Then calls you a friend It’s a twisted fall Binds are like steel And manipulates the will to be And it’s hard to see How soon we forget When there’s nothing else Left to destroy It’s a useless ploy Your eyes will see The dawn of the day And the writing On the wall Those words that stare Into your soul And to yourself You will befall It’s domination pushed into living hell Domination a now blacked heart Is reaching out divinity Body suspended by chains over razors And nails it’s a penalty Each razor a vice and each nail Marks the demise of you life. Grim construction grows Has life played a trick Sealed you in brick by brick Till your end forcing you to bend Your eyes will see The dawn of the day And the writing On the wall Those words that stare Into your soul And to yourself You will befall It’s domination pushed into living hell Domination a now blacked heart Is reaching out divinity Body suspended by chains over razors And nails it’s a penalty Each razor a vice and each nail Marks the demise of you life. Grim construction grows Has life played a trick Sealed you in brick by brick Till your end forcing you to bend i love this song its the song i use for inspiration
