I'm stopping all of this depressing s*** right now.

"Walls Come Tumbling Down" by The Style Council

You don't have to take this crap

You don't have to sit back and relax

You can actually try changing it

I know we've always been taught to rely

Upon those in authority -

But you never know until you try

How things just might be -

If we came together so strongly

Are you gonna try to make this work

Or spend your days down in the dirt

You see things can change -

YES an' walls can come tumbling down!

Governments crack and systems fall

'cause Unity is powerful -

Lights go out - walls come tumbling down!

The competition is a colour TV

We're on still pause with the video machine

That keep you slave to the H.P.

Until the Unity is threatend by

Those who have and who have not -

Those who are with and those who are without

And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot -

Until you don't know where you are

Are you gonna realize

The class war's real and not mythologized

And like Jericho - You see walls can come tumbling down!

Are you gonna be threatend by

The public enemies No. 10 -

Those who play the power game

They take the profits - you take the blame -

When they tell you there's no rise in pay

Are you gonna try an' make this work

Or spend your days down in the dirt -

You see things CAN change -

YES an' walls can come tumbling down!

Bull in the Heather isn't depressing. It's typical weird Sonic Youth stuff, where the words don't mean what they appear.

Anyway, this one sums up what I'm feeling right now about the future:

"Gone" by Pearl Jam

No more upset mornings

No more tired evenings

This American dream

I am disbelieving

When the gas in my tank

Feels like money in the bank

Gonna blow it all this time

Take me one last ride

For the lights of this city

They only look good when I'm speeding

Gonna leave em all behind me

Cause this time

I'm gone

Long gone

This time I'm letting go of it all

So long

Cause this time I'm gone

In the far off distance

As my tail-lights fade

No one thinks to witness

But they will someday

Feel like a question is forming

and the answer's far

I will be what i could be

Once I get out of this town

For the lights of this city

They have lost all feeling

Gonna leave em all behind me

Cause this time

I'm gone

Long gone

This time I'm letting go of it all

So long

Long gone, I'm letting go of it all

Cause this time I'm gone

If nothing is everything

If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

If nothing is everything

If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

I am gone

*is tempted to post depressing song lyrics just to spite Ender* ;)

[Ender 8]

You're all downers. Stop crying. Listen to Locksley!

[Chickenman 9]

And my last one was about hope more than anything.

But yeah, I'm a downer.

:p

[Sticks 1]

Nothing wrong with that. Depressing music is pretty :)

[Mara 29]

You're all downers. Stop crying. Listen to Locksley!

Nah, Coldplay. <3

[Chickenman 9]

Coldplay suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

[Drake 53]

I agree. Coldplay blows.

[Ender 8]

First album was good... but it's pretty much all been crap from there on.

Now Locksley... we just ewoking rock.

[Drake 53]

Not to toot your own horn or anything. :p

[Andy 60]

I'm seeing Death Cab for Cutie tonight! :D

[Chickenman 9]

:puke:

[Andy 60]

Just because you suck. :p

Beauty from Pain

Superchick

The lights go out all around me

One last candle to keep out the night

And then the darkness surrounds me

I know I'm alive

But I feel like I died

And all that's left is to accept that it's over

My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made

I try to keep warm but I just grow colder

I feel like I'm slipping away

After all this has passed

I still will remain

After I've cried my last

There'll be beauty from pain

Though it won't be today

Someday I'll hope again

And there'll be beauty from pain

You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me

The best I can do is just get through the day

When life before is only a memory

I wonder why God lets me walk through this place

And though I can't understand why this happened

I know that I will when I look back someday

And see how you've brought beauty from ashes

And made me as gold purified through these flames

After all this has passed

I still will remain

After I've cried my last

There'll be beauty from pain

Though it won't be today

Someday I'll hope again

And there'll be beauty from pain

You will bring beauty from my pain

Here I am at the end of me

Trying to hold to what I can't see

I forgot how to hope

This night's been so long

I cling to your promise

There will be a dawn

After all this has passed

I still will remain

After I've cried my last

There'll be beauty from pain

Though it won't be today

Someday I'll hope again

And there'll be beauty from pain

You will bring beauty from my pain

Hot Topic is a contrived identification with youth subcultures to manufacture an anti-authoritarian identity and make millions. The $8 you paid for the Mudvayne poster would be better spent used to see your brother?s friend?s band.

DIY ethics are punk rock

Starting your own label is punk rock

G.G. Allin was punk rock.

But when a crass corporate vulture feeds on mass-consumer culture, this spending mommy?s money is not punk rock!

[Ender 8]

Speaking of punk rock... the greatest punk band of them all.

(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais by The Clash

Midnight to six man

For the first time from Jamaica

Dillinger and Leroy Smart

Delroy Wilson, your cool operator

Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae

With backing bands sound systems

And if they've got anything to say

There's many black ears here to listen

But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right

Charging from the bass knives to the treble

But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel

Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel

Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack

'Cos it won't get you anywhere

Fooling with your guns

The British Army is waiting out there

An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons

White youth, black youth

Better find another solution

Why not phone up Robin Hood

And ask him for some wealth distribution

Punk rockers in the UK

They won't notice anyway

They're all too busy fighting

For a good place under the lighting

The new groups are not concerned

With what there is to be learned

They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny

Turning rebellion into money

All over people changing their votes

Along with their overcoats

If Adolf Hitler flew in today

They'd send a limousine anyway

I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf

Who looks so sick in the sun

I'm the white man in the Palais

Just lookin' for fun

I'm only

Looking for fun

[Chickenman 9]

I'd argue Dead Kennedys, but where would they be without the Clash?

[Mara 29]

Well, I have all four Coldplay albums, and I think they all rock.

I'm seeing Death Cab for Cutie tonight!

*jealous*

I love "I will Possess your Heart."

How I wish you could see the potential,

the potential of you and me.

It's like a book elegantly bound,

but in a language you can't read just yet.

You gotta spend some time love.

You gotta spend some time with me.

And I know that you'll find love.

I will possess your heart.

You gotta spend some time love.

You gotta spend some time with me.

And I know that you'll find love.

I will possess your heart.

There are days when outside your window,

I see my reflection as I slowly pass.

And I long for this mirrored perspective

when we'll be lovers, lovers at last.

You gotta spend some time love.

You gotta spend some time with me.

And I know that you'll find love.

I will possess your heart.

You gotta spend some time love.

You gotta spend some time with me.

And I know that you'll find love.

I will possess your heart.

I will possess your heart.

I will possess your heart.

You reject my advances and desperate pleas.

I won't let you let me down so easily.

So easily...

You gotta spend some time love.

You gotta spend some time with me.

And I know that you'll find love.

I will possess your heart.

You gotta spend some time love.

You gotta spend some time with me.

And I know that you'll find love.

I will possess your heart.

You gotta spend some time love.

You gotta spend some time with me.

And I know that you'll find love.

I will possess your heart.

I will possess your heart.

I will possess your heart

I didn't go in the end. Was too worn out from extreme lack of sleep. :(

The Piano Knows Something I Don't Know, by Panic! At the Disco

I won't cut my beard and I won't change my hair

It grows like fancy flowers but it grows nowhere

My hair, my hair

If I could build my house just like the Trojan horse

I'd put a statue of myself upon the shelf

Of course, of course, of course

She's the smoke

She's dancin' fancy pirouettes

Swan diving off of the deep end

Of my tragic cigarette

She's steam

Laughing on the windowpanes

The never-ending swaying haze

Oh, that ever smiling maze

Oh, that ever smiling maze

Ballet

Everything's gone missing

I've lost more songs to floods

I can't prove this makes any sense but

I sure hope that it does

Perhaps

I was born with curiosity

The likes of those of old crows

The likes of those of old crows

And oh, how the piano knows

The piano knows something

I don't know

I won't cut my beard and I won't change my hair

It grows like fancy flowers but it grows nowhere

My hair, my hair

If I could build my house just like the Trojan horse

I'd put a statue of myself upon the shelf

Of course, of course, of course

Of course, of course, of course

Of course, of course, of course

Of course

"Generation Spokesmodel" by Mudhoney

Oh I got these looks

That just won't quit

I got at least

A half of some kind of wit

I got a guitar

Check it out, I'm a star

Hey kids, how would I look on

The cover of Spin?

Well, well

We're all gone

Well, well

Right on, right on, right on

Listen to my songs

I guarantee you'll relate

Look at me

Recognize your face

My daddy's rich

And my mama's good lookin', yeah

Hush little baby

So am I

Well, well

We're all gone

Well, well

Right on, right on, right on

I'm the spokesmodel of your generation, baby

I'll lose my shirt

For ventilation

Thanks to the kids

For making me who I am

Twenty percent of the gross

Goes straight to the man

Well, well

We're all gone

Well, well

Right on, right on, right on

[Ender 8]

I'd argue Dead Kennedys, but where would they be without the Clash?

Bah. They're good, but don't hold a candle to The Clash, the Pistols, or The Jam.

Speaking of The Jam... who got a shoutout from Jon Stewart the other night, delighting me... this is Running on the Spot.

I was hoping we?d make real progress

But it seems we have lost the power

Any tiny step of advancement

Is like a raindrop falling into the ocean

We?re running on the spot - always have - always will

We?re just the next generation of the emotionally crippled

Though we keep piling up the building blocks

The structure never seems to get any higher

Because we keep kicking out the foundations

And stand useless while our lives fall down

I believe in life - and I believe in love

But the world in which I live in - keeps trying to prove me wrong

Out in the pastures we call society

You can?t see further than the bottom of your glass

Only young but easily shocked

You get all violent when the boat gets rocked

Just like sheep - little lambs into the slaughter

Don?t fully grasp what exactly is wrong

Truth is you never cared - still

You get all violent when the boat gets rocked

Intelligence should be our first weapon

And stop reveling in rejection

And follow yourselves, not some ageing drain brain

Whose quite content to go on feeding you garbage

We?re running on the spot - always have - always will

We?re just the next generation of the emotionally crippled

"No More" by Eddie Vedder

I speak for a man who gave for this land

Took a bullet in the back for his pay

Spilled his blood in the dirt and the dust

He's come back to say:

What he has seen is hard to believe

And it does no good to just pray

He asks of us to stand

And we must end this war today

With his mind, he's saying, "No more!"

With his heart, he's saying, "No more!"

With his life he's saying, "No more war!"

With his eyes, he's saying, "No more!"

With his body, he's saying, "No more!"

With his voice, he's saying, "No more war!"

No more war

Yeah, nothing's too good for a veteran

Yeah, this is what they say

So nothing is what they will get

And there's no American way

The lies that were told to get us to go

Were criminal, let us be straight

Let's get to the point where our voices get heard

Behind the White House gate

With our minds, we're saying, "No more!"

With our hearts, we're saying, "No more!"

With our lives, we're saying, "No more war!"

With our eyes, we're saying, "No more!"

With our voice, we're saying, "No more!"

With our body, we're saying, "No more war!"

No more innocents dying

No more terror rising

No more eulogizing

No more evangelizing

No more presidents lying

No more war

With our minds, we're saying, "No more!"

With our hearts, we're saying, "No more!"

With our lives, we're saying, "No more war!"

No more war

No more war

No more war

No more war

No more war

No more war
