Beatles - All You Need Is Love
Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy.
Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.
All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
Nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.
All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
All you need is love (All together, now!)
All you need is love. (Everybody!)
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need (love is all you need).
Yee-hai!
Oh yeah!
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Got the new Ani in the mail today!!! This one is for her, she's been quite an inspiration, showing me how to live much stronger.
willing to fight - ani difranco
the windows of my soul are made of one way glass
don't bother looking into my eyes if there's something you want
to know just ask
i got a dead bolt stroll
where i'm going is clear
i won't wait for you
to wonder
i'll just tell you why
i'm here
'cause i know the
biggest crime
is to just throw
up your hands
say this has nothing
to do with me
i just want to live
as comfortably
as i can
you got to look outside
your eyes
you got to think outside
your brain
you got to walk outside
your life
to where the neighborhood
changes tell me
who's your boogie man
that's who i will be
you don't have to like me
for who i am but we'll see
what you're made of by
what you make of me
i think it's absurd that you think i
am the derelict daughter
i fight fire with words
words are hotter than flames
words are wetter than water
i got friends all over this country
i got friends in other countries too
i got friends i haven't met yet
i got friends i never new
i got lovers who's eyes
i've only seen at a glance
i got strangers
for great grandchildren
i got strangers for ancestors
i was a long time coming i'll be a
long time gone
you got your whole life to do something
and that's not very long
so why don't you give me a call
when you decide you're willing to fight
for what you think is real
for what you think is rightIf you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Changes IV
Don't you feel a change a coming
from another side of time
breaking down the walls of silence
lifting shadows from your mind
Placing back the missing mirrors
that before you couldn't find
filling mysteries of emptiness
that yesterday left behind
And we all know it's better
Yesterday has past
now let's all start the living
for the one that's going to last
Don't you feel the day is coming
that will stay and remain
when your children see the answers
that you saw the same
when the clouds have all gone
there will be no more rain
and the beauty of all things
is uncovered again
Don't you feel the day is coming
and it won't be too soon
when the people of the world
can all live in one room
when we shake off the ancient
shake off the ancient chains of our tomb
we will all be born again
of the eternal womb0 -
Vulgar? Attacking this thread with bullshit is tactless. Sure you can post what and where you want, but it's in poor taste to try to bring us down when we're trying to be hopeful about the possibility of peace. Like I said before, every other thread on this goddamn board is filled with war and hate....how about we just let this one be?depopulationINC wrote:why?
because you are too closeminded to accept that there are 2 sides to the view / argument?
it is vulger attitudes such as your statement that cause tension in the world
When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.
Let it be, let it be, .....
And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.0 -
For no real reason other than to find the sickest lyrics I could post
Fucked With A Knife
by Cannibal Corpse
No escape from your fate
Destined to be mine
Every night I wait to see
In the night, watching
Stalking your every move
I know when you're alone
All alone
Tied tight to the bed
Legs spread open
Bruised flesh, lacerations
Skin stained with blood
I'm the only one you love
I feel her heart beating
My knife deep inside
Her crotch is bleeding
She liked the way it felt inside her
Fucking her, harder, harder
She liked the way it felt inside her
Fucking her, harder, harder
Stick it in
Rip the skin
Carve and twist
Torn flesh
From behind
I cut her crotch
In her ass
I stuck my cock
Killing as I cum0 -

That's a good one. It was the first political song I had ever heard, in fact it was the first "pop" song I had ever heard when all my parents listened to were either country radio or... well organ music at church. My music teacher played "Blowin' In The Wind," in 3rd grade at a private Catholic school and it more or less altered the course of my developmental history from then on. I remember even at that very young age, "getting it."
that:
There are men who control everything from religions, schools, and even the whole armed forces I had until then only seen in war movies my dad used to watch. These men professed faith in whatever it was that they sought to accomplish control over - from religions, schools, and those armed forces - but were never able to attain it, hence people still don't know who/what God is, they would still be more or less apes if there were no schooling/education, and there will always be war as long as there are armed forces! Quite the revelations for an 8 year old. I didn't exactly have a good running relationship with my dad, hence I was already ready to figure thing's out on my own, almost always in pursuit of some empirical explanation for most of the thing's other maybe take for granted.
That the answer's were indeed "Blowing in the wind," that they were already there, but we as a society must alter our perspective as a whole in order to achieve some sense of order. I kid you not when I say when I heard that song, everything changed - until then all I knew was the totalitarian regiment of school, play, school, play, abuse, play, abuse, play... Now I'm ready to get to know anything, even that humanity can be changed, and that the last breath of this military-industrial complex can't be too far off. And Dylan is coming out with a new album too! It's called Modern Times, apparently.0 -

And now, Sleater-Kinney:
they tell us there are only two sides to be on
if you are on our side you’re right, if not, you’re wrong
but are we innocent, paragons of good?
is our guilt erased by the pain that we’ve endured? endured?
hey look it’s time to pledge allegiance
I love my dirty Uncle Sam
our country’s marching to the beat now
and we must learn to step in time
where is the questioning, where is the protest song?
since when is skepticism un-American?
dissent’s not treason but they talk like it’s the same
those who disagree are afraid to show their face. their face.
let’s break out our old machines now
it sure is good to see them run again
oh gentlemen, start your engines
and we know where we get the oil from
are you feeling alright now?
(is this why we unite?)
paint myself all red, white, and blue
(reasons to unite)
are you singing let’s fight now?
(if you hate this time)
innocent people die, uh oh
(remember we’re the time!)
show you love your country go out and spend some cash
red, white, blue hot pants doing it for Uncle Sam
now flex your muscles show them we’re stronger than the rest
raise your hands up baby, are you sure that we’re the best?
we’ll come out with our fists raised
the good old boys are back on top again
and if we let them lead us blindly
the past becomes the future once again
are you feeling alright now?
(reasons to unite)
paint myself all red, white, and blue
(is this why we unite?)
are you singing let’s fight now?
(if you hate this time)
innocent people die, uh oh
(remember we’re the time!)
are you singing let’s fight now?
(there’s reasons to unite)
innocent people die, uh oh
(is this why we unite?)
know that we’re the time

Artist: Zack de la Rocha Lyrics
Song: We Want It All
There they are now
The master of law
Throwing flowers on a casket of our broken dreams
Most thieves are silent
But these ones scream
These ones scream
We want it all
We want it all
I heard you talkin' my friend
I think you lost your mind
That somebody's listenin'
And then biding their time
Somebody's watchin'
Cause we wouldn't fight
For someone else's war
Could you hold on a second
For a second someone's at my door
Screaming hate is love
And fiction is fact
Honesty is deceit
That silence is security
And war is peace
'Cause we want it all
We want it all0 -
Mudhoney, Hard On For War
Can you hear the little girls asking
Daddy where have all the little boys gone
They don't meet us at the mall
Daddy where have all the little boys gone
The little girls, they ask me
They don't tease us in classroom
They have left us all behind
The little boys are fighting
The little boys are dying
It's our patriotic duty
To preserve our way of life
To make sweet love tonight
See these lovely lonesome ladies
All these lonely lovely ladies
Keep on kockin' on my door
And it's so easy to score
I'm the only game in town
They don't ignore me anymore
Now i know why dirty old men are always pushin' for war
Now i know why dirty old men are always pushin' for war
I've become a dirty old man with a hard-on for warwww.amnesty.org

My numbers up
My time has come
Sounds like they're playing my song
On the altar
My picture
Will be there while im gone
There'll be time for laughing
There is no time to cry
Soon I will be leaving
Look me in the eye
No matter what's in front of me
It's your face that I'll see
And the future of our young one
And this is what fuels me
There's no time for laughing
There's no time to cry
Soon I will be leaving
Look me in the eye
The oath I took
Not so seriously
The worlds gathered steam
And caught up with me
And my decisions been made
Some other place
By someone I don't know
And they don't know me
This is no time for laughing
There's no time to cry
Soon I will be leaving
Look me in the eye0 -

The rhymes of revolution
Poetry written in gasoline!
The rhymes of revolution
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Manipulate the obvious
Cowards bought by traditionalist manners
Scream at the herd that are heard the most
Without substance and with useless... banners
Banners, banners, banners
Your art, your art, is worth, is worth nothing
Like a city with no meaning
Like a city, with no meaning, with no meaning
Your creation holds, holds no hope
The rhymes of revolution!
Yeah! Yeah!
The rhymes of revolution!
Poetry written in gasoline!
Poetry written in gasoline!
Poetry written in gasoline!
Ah! Yeah!
You had a witness over there!
"Poetry Written In Gasoline"
By Refused.
Poignant, powerful.
"You had a witness over there."
But then someone blew them up.
Now nobody knows, whether you are a friend or foe.
Nobody knows, whether we are their friend or foe.
Because we're American, we don't see the obvious.
Unless it is manipulated to reflect our own narrow-minded congress.
Unless we take the lead, we're served our nations' actions as seen from the backseat.
While they criticize, we're blind. While we nationalize every international issue, we forget about the rest of them, our neighbors in the land outside our congress.
They attack, we retreat. Then we attack from our blind-spot, we're sending out our bombs from the darkest centre of Oz. Because we killed the witness - we've lost their point of view, we're one sided, all war.
I don't believe anyone knows whether we are a friend or foe. I think that's why there's still war. All anyone knows is everyone is up to something.
The terrorists use counter-terror, counter-terrorists use terror. It's unwritten poetry in gasoline that we create our own enemies, that we have no allies nor do we allow our enemies any allies - that's why there is unconditional war, because no one can win, even the successor of the fight will lose casualties and lose faith.
Victory is a simulacrum.
You've lost once the war has begun.
You've lost the war, because you didn't prevent the war.
You've lost lives and allies.
Victory only means you've survived.
Your men are dead.
So are your feelings.
War should be prevented - that's the course of government.
To provide protection is to prevent war from ever happening.
Otherwise you've invited that mishappening.
To accept war as the only candidate, is to allow the rule of archaic terrorism and subversive despotism - to play their game, to lose your lives, unconditionally no one wins.
So, "Poetry Written In Gasoline," might mean:
Victorious war is invalid.
Once the bombs go off, we've already lost.

Run on for a long time

Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark Against Your Fellow Man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones to start
To mould a new reality
Closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Yes, closer to the heart
Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Yes, closer to the heart
You can be the captain
And I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Well, closer to the heart
...Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
If you could blow up the world
With the flick of a switch
Would you do it?
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
If you could make everybody poor
Just so you could be rich
Would you do it?
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
If you could watch everybody work
While you just lay on your back
Would you do it?
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
If you could take all the love
Without giving any back
Would you do it?
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And so we cannot know ourselves
Or what we'd really do
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
(No no no no, no no no no)
If you could make your own money
And then give it to everybody
Would you do it?
(No no no no, no no no no)
If you knew all the answers
And could give to the masses
Would you do it?
(No no no no, no no no no)
Are you crazy?
It's a very dangerous thing to do
Exactly what you want
Because you cannot know yourself,
Or what you'd really do
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you
Do do do do, do do do do [x6]
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah) [x26]
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
