I can't get this song and video out of my head....
It's ok, I'll do what I want
If I choose, I can take the fall
There's a choice
It's my destiny
In my hands
Yeah it's up to me
I can drive
I can shoot a gun in the streets
Score me some heroin
I can jump
Be the sacrifice
Bear my cross just like Jesus Christ
And I don't wanna hear what love can do
No, I ain't gonna tell ya what's right for you
Is it right to take the easy way
Close your eyes
Get on your knees and pray
Now you're saved by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choice
If I'm wrong then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it
But I've tried, yeah I've tried for it
I tried, I tried, 'til I'm satisfied
And I......
I'm tired of hearing what love can do
and I.....
Ain't gonna tell you what's right for you
I've seen the damage done
Down with the shotgun
Don't stop the setting sun on my kingdom come
Ohhhh.......
Is it right to take the easy way
I don't know
I get on your knees and pray
Now I'm saved by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choice
If I'm wrong then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna deal with it
'cause I've tried, yeah I tried for it
I tried, I tried, even die for it
No I.....
Don't wanna hear what love can do
No I....
I can't tell you what's right for you
Oh I.... I... I.....
Tell you what love can do
No I... I... I...
Can't say but your time is through
I've seen the damage done
Oh Lord, I've heard the shotgun
I fought the setting sun on my kingdom come
Ohhh.......
Don't tell me what love can do
Hey, hey, hey
Don't tell me what love can do
Hey, hey, hey

He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid"
I said, "That sounds pretty good"
Black leather boots, spit shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looks alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends as we learned how to fight
A hero of war, yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home they'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag to the grave if I must
'Cause it's flag that I love and a flag that I trust
I kicked in the door, I yelled my commands
The children they cried but I got my man
We took him away, a bag over his face
From his family and his friends
They took off his clothes, they pissed in his hands
I told them to stop but then I joined in
We beat him with guns and batons
Not just once but again and again
A hero of war, yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home they'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag to the grave if I must
'Cause it's flag that I love and a flag that I trust
She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop, I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun and I fired away
And the shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand that the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow
A hero of war is that what they see
Just medals and scars, so damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag, now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love, it's the only flag I trust
He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?"

When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, Guns of Brixton
The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell
You see, he feels like Ivan
BORN under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come
You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh-the guns of Brixton
When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
And even shoot us
But oh- the guns of Brixton
Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game was survivin'
As in heaven as in hell
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton

Takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
It takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh, say bye bye
Where you going to now
Lightning flashes across the sky
East to west, do or die
Like a thief in the night
See the world by candlelight
Fall, rise and fall, rise and
In an apartment on Time Square
You can assemble them anywhere
Held to ransom, Hell to pay
A revolution everyday
USSR, DDR, London, New York, Peking
It's the puppets, it's the puppets
Who pull the strings, yeah
Fall, rise and fall, rise and
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye
It takes a second to say goodbye
Oh, say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
Push the button and pull the plug
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
Fall, rise and fall, rise and
And they're doing the atomic bomb
Do they know where the dance comes from
Yes, they're doing the atomic bomb
They want you to sing along

A song about the future and its immense possibilities....not our debt ceiling.
It's not the heat
It's the inhumanity
Plugged into the sweat of a summer street
Machine gun images pass
Like malice through the looking glass
The slack jaw gaze
Of true profanity
Feels more like surrender than defeat
If culture is the curse of the thinking class
If culture is the curse of the thinking class
Ceiling unlimited
World so wide
Turn an' turn again
Turn again
Feeling unlimited
Still unsatisfied
Changes never end
Never end
The vacant smile
Of true insanity
Dressed up in the mask of tragedy
Programmed for the guts and glands
Of idle minds and idle hands
I rest my case
Or at least my vanity
Dressed up in the mask of comedy
If laughter is a straw for a drowning man
If laughter is a straw for a drowning man
Ceiling unlimited
Windows open wide
Look and look again
Look again
Feeling unlimited
Eyes on the prize
Changes never end
Never end
Winding like an ancient river
The time is now again
Winding like an ancient river
The time is now again
The time is now again
The time is now again
The time is now again
The time is now again
The time is now again
The time is now again
The time is now again
Ceiling unlimited
World so wide
Turn an' turn again
Turn again
Feeling unlimited
Still unsatisfied
Changes never end
Never end
Changes never end
(Winding like an ancient river)
Never end
Winding like an ancient river
Winding like an endless river
The time is now again
(Winding like an ancient river)
Winding like an ancient river
The time is now again
Hope is like an endless river
The time is now again
The time is now again
The time is now again
The time is now again

So take it as a song
or a lesson to learn
And sometime soon
be better than you were
If you say you're gonna go,
then be careful
And watch how you treat
every living soul
My eyes can't look at you
any other way,
Any other way,
any other way
When eyes can't look at you
any other way,
Any other way,
any other way
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.- Hemingway
It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just
taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are
the ever-living ghost of what once was
But no one
is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
And anything to make you smile
It is my better side
of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then
back to another one
But no one
is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone,
They could have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard.
Anything to make you smile
You are
the ever-living ghost of
what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way
But no one
is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone
They should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard

This got to me, unexpectedly.
Felt almost like "Wash".
Froze me, released some tears I didn't realize were there till they came.
Just...beauty. Exactly what I needed.
Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Q: How fucking awesome is the new Pearl Jam song "Getaway"?
A: Super Fucking Awesome. It's totally rad.
sometimes ya find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith.
so fitting, it might as well be on my tombstone...
And on mine also ...
jesus greets me looks just like me ....

Watch the world argue Argue with itself Who's going to teach me Peace and happiness
We could sit here forever Just never get old Listen to the world Letting gods tie us down
Hit cities sharp knives The right clothing Dancing on the jetty So our feet stay dry
Watch the world argue Argue with itself Who's going to teach me Peace and happiness Watch the world argue Argue with itself Who's going to teach me Peace and happiness
Blood is upon the steps Two thousand years ago Play like hell that we go to fight Another war in the holy land
Shock the world True story Snap decisions And I'm always going We're gonna watch them keep it strong
Watch the world argue Argue with itself Who's going to teach me Peace and happiness Watch the world argue Argue with itself Who's going to teach me Peace and happiness
We're making trouble We change tracks Put the suit down Daytime or day no less
We hit cities sharp knives The right clothing Dancing on the jetty So our feet stay dry
Watch the world argue Argue with itself Who's going to teach me Peace and happiness Watch the world argue Argue with itself Who's going to teach me Peace and happiness

We hate each other 'cause of race and religion We hate each other 'cause of class and position We want to know why is love so hard to come by Give me a reason why you love so hard to try
The walls between us all must fall The walls between us all must fall
We hate each other 'cause we dance to different music We hate each other 'cause we think we know it all We hate each other 'cause that's what our parents taught us We hate each other for no reason at all
The wall between us all must fall The wall between us all must fall
We teach our young men how to kill and name and torture We teach our young men how to make their mothers cry We want to know why is love so hard to come by? Give me the answer, why is love so hard to try?
The wall between us all must fall The wall between us all must fall
This is how our world breaks down... The wall between us all must fall This is how our world breaks down... The wall between us all must fall

It's ok, I'll do what I want
If I choose, I can take the fall
There's a choice
It's my destiny
In my hands
Yeah it's up to me
I can drive
I can shoot a gun in the streets
Score me some heroin
I can jump
Be the sacrifice
Bear my cross just like Jesus Christ
And I don't wanna hear what love can do
No, I ain't gonna tell ya what's right for you
Is it right to take the easy way
Close your eyes
Get on your knees and pray
Now you're saved by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choice

"Roses From My Friends"
I could have treated you better
but you couldn't have treated me worse
but it's he who laughs last
is he who cries first
Sometimes I feel I know strangers
better than I know my friends
why must a beginning
be the means to an end
The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
but I cannot survive
the roses from my friends
When the last word has been spoken
and we've beared witness to the final setting sun
all that shall remain is a token
of what we've said and done
When all we've had has been forsaken
distant church bells no longer ring
that's the sound of a heart taken
and the story of tears from a king
The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
but I cannot survive
the roses from my friends
This may be the last time I see you
forgive me for holding you close
this may be the last time that I see you
so of this moment I will make the most
This may be the last time I see you
but if you keep me in your heart
together we shall be eternal
if you believe
we shall never part
The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
but I cannot survive
the roses from my friends
This song was made to pick anyone on a bad day as hung out for the rest of the day with the band.

Love each other, one another
Amen to that, and thanks

Any other way,
any other way
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Or altogether just
taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are
the ever-living ghost of what once was
But no one
is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
And anything to make you smile
It is my better side
of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then
back to another one
But no one
is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone,
They could have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard.
Anything to make you smile
You are
the ever-living ghost of
what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way
But no one
is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone
They should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Felt almost like "Wash".
Froze me, released some tears I didn't realize were there till they came.
Just...beauty. Exactly what I needed.
Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hell yeah...have, am, and will.
(also, I defy anyone to refute it was Gordon Ramsay wailing away on the organ)
chicken skin for sure.
"give me
a leonard
cohen afterworld,
so i
can sigh,
eternally...."
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
A: Super Fucking Awesome. It's totally rad.
so fitting, it might as well be on my tombstone...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
And on mine also ...
Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness
We could sit here forever
Just never get old
Listen to the world
Letting gods tie us down
Hit cities sharp knives
The right clothing
Dancing on the jetty
So our feet stay dry
Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness
Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness
Blood is upon the steps
Two thousand years ago
Play like hell that we go to fight
Another war in the holy land
Shock the world
True story
Snap decisions
And I'm always going
We're gonna watch them keep it strong
Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness
Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness
We're making trouble
We change tracks
Put the suit down
Daytime or day no less
We hit cities sharp knives
The right clothing
Dancing on the jetty
So our feet stay dry
Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness
Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness
Peace

We hate each other 'cause of race and religion
We hate each other 'cause of class and position
We want to know why is love so hard to come by
Give me a reason why you love so hard to try
The walls between us all must fall
The walls between us all must fall
We hate each other 'cause we dance to different music
We hate each other 'cause we think we know it all
We hate each other 'cause that's what our parents taught us
We hate each other for no reason at all
The wall between us all must fall
The wall between us all must fall
We teach our young men how to kill and name and torture
We teach our young men how to make their mothers cry
We want to know why is love so hard to come by?
Give me the answer, why is love so hard to try?
The wall between us all must fall
The wall between us all must fall
This is how our world breaks down...
The wall between us all must fall
This is how our world breaks down...
The wall between us all must fall
Peace
