  • Pearly* ~ Radiohead
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSXMjAEFqLc

    How'd you get your teeth so pearly?
    Dew-drop dentures
    White-washed faces
    She runs from the third world, pearly

    Vanilla (feel it crawl to me)
    Milkshakes (crawl back again)
    From Hard Rock (whatever you say)
    Cafes (it won't go away)
    That's where (I feel it crawl to me)
    She got her (crawls back again)
    Sweet tooth (it won't go away)
    For white boys (whatever you say)
    She runs from the third world, pearly

    Hurts me
    Darling use me
    Darling use me
    Darling use me

  • The Who- Naked Eye

    Take a little dope
    And walk out in the air
    The stars are all connected to the brain.
    Find me a woman and lay down on the ground,
    Her pleasure comes falling down like rain,
    Get myself a car, I feel power as I fly,
    Oh now I'm really in control,
    It all looks fine to the naked eye,
    But it don't really happen that way at all,
    Don't happen that way at all.

    You sign your own name and I sign mine,
    They're both the same but we still get separate rooms,
    You can cover up your guts but when you cover up your nuts,
    You're admitting that there must be something wrong,
    Press any button and milk and honey flows,
    The world begins behind your neighbor's wall,
    It all looks fine to the naked eye,
    But it don't really happen that way at all,
    Nah nah no, don't happen that way at all.

    You hold the gun and I hold the wound,
    And we stand looking in each other's eyes,
    Both think we know what's right,
    Both know we know what's wrong,
    We tell ourselves so many many many lies,
    We're not pawns in any game, we're not tools of bigger men,
    There's only one who can really move us all,
    It all looks fine to the naked eye,
    But it don't really happen that way at all.

    DISARM

    Disarm you with a smile
    And cut you like you want me to
    Cut that little child
    Inside of me and such a part of you
    Ooh, the years burn

    I used to be a little boy
    So old in my shoes
    And what I choose is my choice
    Whats a boy supposed to do?
    The killer in me is the killer in you
    My love
    I send this smile over to you

    Disarm you with a smile
    And leave you like they left me here
    To wither in denial
    The bitterness of one whos left alone
    Ooh, the years burn
    Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

    I used to be a little boy
    So old in my shoes
    And what I choose is my voice
    Whats a boy supposed to do?
    The killer in me is the killer in you
    My love
    I send this smile over to you

    The killer in me is the killer in you
    Send this smile over to you
    The killer in me is the killer in you
    Send this smile over to you
    The killer in me is the killer in you
    Send this smile over to you

  • The Bravery of Being out of Range ~ Pink Floyd

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rekuWIKr55A

    You have a natural tendency
    To squeeze off a shot
    You're good fun at parties
    You wear the right masks
    You're old but you still
    Like a laugh in the locker room
    You can't abide change
    You're at home on the range
    You opened your suitcase
    Behind the old workings
    To show off the magnum
    You deafened the canyon
    A comfort a friend
    Only upstaged in the end
    By the Uzi machine gun
    Does the recoil remind you
    Remind you of sex
    Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
    Old timer who you gonna kill next
    I looked over Jordan and what did I see
    Saw a U.S. Marine in a pile of debris
    I swam in your pools
    And lay under your palm trees
    I looked in the eyes of the Indian
    Who lay on the Federal Building steps
    And through the range finder over the hill
    I saw the front line boys popping their pills
    Sick of the mess they find
    On their desert stage
    And the bravery of being out of range
    Yeah the question is vexed
    Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
    Old timer who you gonna kill next
    Hey bartender over here
    Two more shots
    And two more beers
    Sir turn up the TV sound
    The war has started on the ground
    Just love those laser guided bombs
    They're really great
    For righting wrongs
    You hit the target
    And win the game
    From bars 3,000 miles away
    3,000 miles away
    We play the game
    With the bravery of being out of range
    We zap and maim
    With the bravery of being out of range
    We strafe the train
    With the bravery of being out of range
    We gain terrain
    With the bravery of being out of range
    With the bravery of being out of range
    We play the game
    With the bravery of being out of range

    Prove You Wrong

    Diggin' for answers you fall in a hole
    Lessons of nonsense shall cast the first stone
    Pontifical preachings past now quick to forget 'em
    I'm depending on no one I distrust and oppose

    Prove you, prove you wrong
    You can bet on it, I'll prove you wrong
    Prove you, prove you wrong
    Depend on it, I'll prove you wrong

    Quest for solutions
    You ain't gonna get one here
    Why waste my breath upon the ears of the deaf man
    Skeptic acceptance caution
    Fraudulent cause
    Dependence on no one best distrust and oppose



    Pointless

    Hitman's got no doubt about
    Position in the work place
    A matter of investment
    Ridding human excess
    Dealing stocks and bonds of blood
    Shotgun dividends
    But you hold a gun that's smoking

    So pointless keep pushing
    Keep shooting so pointless

    Head full 'o bullets
    A soul that's been spent
    That be the pension
    In bizness dealt with lead
    Kickbacks and cutbacks
    They all stab you in the back
    The bloody palms
    Primed for greasing



    Contradictions

    Time for double standards
    Now who shall be blamed
    With the change of weather
    Scapegoats are acclaimed
    Acts of no reason: populous response
    Opinions are like assholes
    Everyone's one

    All these contradictions
    Are bound to confuse
    What wrong will you choose?

    Can I ask a question?
    Or am I out of line
    Some more lip service
    Will smooth it out nice


    Beg To Differ

    You Make The Right Moves, I Beg To Differ
    Rather Be A Fool And See Things Clearer.
    You Found A Quick Way To Fill Your Pocket.
    That's The Way In A World That's Lost It
    To Fall In Line
    It's Meaningless, Mindlessness.
    I Beg To Differ
    Disharmony Amongst All Our Brothers.
    That's Okay, Be True To Our Grudges.
    No Desire To Walk Beside You.
    Nothing Positive When Forced Upon You.
    (So Fall In Line) Just Fall In Line
    It's Meaningless, Mindlessness, I Beg To Differ

    Sums up the Iraq and Afghanistan WARS.....

    MEGADETH *Architecture Of Aggression*

    Born from the dark,
    In the black cloak of night.
    To envelop its prey below,
    Deliver to the light.
    To eliminate your enemy,
    Hit them in their sleep,
    And when all is won and lost,
    The spoils of wars are yours to keep.

    Great nations built from the bones of the dead,
    With mud and straw, blood and sweat,
    You know your worth when your enemies
    Praise your architecture of aggression.

    Ensuing power vacuum,
    A toppled leader dies
    His body fuels the power fire,
    And the flames rise to the sky.
    One side of his face a kiss,
    The other genocide.
    Time to pay with your ass,
    A worldwide suicide.

    Born from the dark,
    In the black cloak of night.
    To envelop its prey below,
    Deliver to the light.
    To eliminate your enemy,
    Hit then in their sleep,
    And when all is won and lost,
    The spoils of war are yours to keep.

    "Momma Bake a Pie (Daddy Kill a chicken)"

    People starin' at me as they wheel me down the ramp toward my plane
    The war is over for me I've forgotten everything except the pain
    Thank you sir and yes sir it was worth it for the old red-white-and-blue
    And since I won't be walking I suppose I'll save some money buying shoes
    The bottle hidden underneath the blanket over my two battered legs
    I can see see the stewardess make over me and ask were you afraid
    I say why no I'm Superman and couldn't find a phone booth quite in time
    A GI gets a lotta laughs if he remembers all the funny lines
    Mama bake a pie daddy kill a chicken your son is comin' home 11:35 Wednesday night
    Mama will be crying daddy's gonna say son did they treat you good
    My uncle will be drunk and he'll say boy they do some real great things with wood
    The letter that she wrote me said goodbye she couldn't wait and lots of luck
    The bottle underneath the blanket feels just like an old friend to my touch
    I know she'll come and see me but I bet she never once looks at my legs
    She'll talk about the weather and the dress she wore the July 4th Parade
    Lord I love her and I don't believe this bottle's gonna get her off my mind
    I see here in the paper where they say the war is just a waste of time
    Mama bake a pie daddy kill a chicken your son is comin' home 11:35 Wednesday night

    Tom T. Hall (written for the Vietnam War...covered in 2004 by the Drive-by Truckers)
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    A Native American woman of peace Buffe Sainte-Marie the song starts at the 1:50 mark.

    UNIVERSAL SOLDIER

    He’s 5 foot 2 and he’s 6 feet 4
    And he fights with missiles and with spears
    He’s all of 31 and he’s only 17.
    And he’s been a soldier for a thousand years

    He’s a catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jane
    A boarders, a Baptist and Jew.
    And he knows he shouldn’t ‘ve killed
    And he knows he always will kill
    You’ll for me my freidn and me for you

    He’s fighting for Canada.
    He’s fighting for France.
    He’s fighting for the USA.
    And he’s fighting for the Russians.
    And he’s fighting for Japan
    And he thinks we’ll brought an end to war this way.

    He’s fighting for democracy,
    he’s fighting for the reds
    He says it’s for the peace of all.
    He’s the one, who must decide,
    who’s to live and who’s to die.
    And he never sees the writing on the walls.

    But without him,
    how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau?
    Without him Caesar would have stood alone
    He’s the one who gives is body
    as a weapon to the war.
    And without him all this killing can’t go on

    He’s the universal soldier
    And he really is the blame
    But his orders comes from
    far away no more.

    They come from him.
    And you and me.
    Oh, brothers can’t you see.
    This is not the way we put an end to war

    Oh!

    Something that we have too much of today which are walls that at times prevents us from getting to know each other in this world. This band LIVING COLOUR... *WALL* from the album *Stain* gets it right.

    *WALL* Live in Argentina 2007

    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 mame 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 now the middle of OCTOBER by U2 Live

    October
    And the trees are stripped bare
    Of all they wear
    What do I care

    And Kingdoms rise
    And Kingdoms fall
    But you go on...

    ...and on...

    *Excuse Me Mister*....Ben Harper

    Oh - excuse me Mr.
    Do you have the time,
    Or are you so important that it stands still for you?
    Excuse me Mr.
    Want you lend me your ear,
    Or are you not only blind but do you not hear?
    Excuse me Mr. but isn't that your oil in the sea,
    And the pollution in the air Mr.,
    Whose could that be?

    So, excuse me Mr.
    But I'm a mister too.
    And you're givin' Mr. a bad name,
    Mr. like you.
    And, I'm taking the Mr. from out in front of your name,
    'cause it's a Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame.
    It's a Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame.

    And I've seen enough,
    Oh - I've seen enough,
    I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.

    Excuse me Mr.
    Can't you see the children dying?
    You say that you can't help them,
    Mr. you're not even trying.
    Excuse me Mr.
    Just take a look around.
    Oh, Mr. just look up and you will,
    You'll see it's coming down.
    Oh, excuse me Mr. but I'm, I'm a mister too.
    And you're givin' Mr. a bad name,
    Mr. like you.
    So, I'm taking the Mr. from out in front of your name,
    'cause it's a Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame.
    it's a Mr. like you, puts the rest of us to shame.

    And I've seen enough,
    I've seen en..., I've seen en...,
    I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.
    I've seen enough,
    Oh - I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.

    'cause Mr. when you're rattling on heaven's gate.
    By then it is too late.
    'cause Mr. when you get there,
    They don't ask what you saved.
    All they'll want to know Mr. is what you gave.
    So, excuse me Mr.
    But I'm a mister too.
    And you're givin' Mr. a bad name,
    Mr. like... you.

    So, I'm taking the Mr. from out in front of your name,
    'cause it's a Mr. like you puts the rest of us to shame.
    Mr. like you, puts the rest of us to shame.

    I can't wait till tomorrow,
    I've got a suitcase packed, I'm leaving.
    I've got a key to the lock in your head.
    You know the truth is there for all.
    Walking in the park just the other day,
    got hit with a rock,
    easy in the atmosphere, the people stole the money.
    Those of us who stand around
    and wait until the penny drops,
    introducing isolated isotopes of worry.
    Blistered in the stinking sun,
    the iris and the cataracts.
    Got five hundred bucks, out of here,
    executing anarchy OK!
    I got a.
    Unfortunately time is geared
    to spin around the centre clock,
    not as if you give a shit
    or give a fuck or care a lot.
    Riding on a roller coaster,
    imitating counterfeit.
    Come up for air, no one cares,
    jump the queue for
    anarchy OK!
    Get up, you got to stand up,
    you got to get up, you got to stand up.
    Anarchy OK!

    *Language Of Violence*.....Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy...Michael Franti

    The first day of school was always the hardest
    The first day of school the hallways the darkest
    Like a gauntlet
    the voices haunted
    Walking in with his thin skin lowered chin
    He knew the names that they would taunt him with
    Faggot sissy punk queen queer
    Although he'd never had sex in his 15 years
    And when they harassed him it was for a reason
    And when they provoked him it became open season
    for the fox and the hunter, the sparks and the thunder
    that pushed the boy under, then pillage and plunder
    It kind of makes you wonder
    how one can hurt another
    But dehumanizing the victim makes things simpler
    It's like breathing with a respirator
    It eases the conscience of even the most conscious
    and calculating violator
    Words can reduce a person to an object,
    something more easy to hate
    An inanimate entity, completely disposable,
    no problem to obliterate

    But death is the silence
    in this language of violence
    Death is the silence
    But death is the silence
    in this cycle of violence
    death is the silence
    It's tough to be young, the young long to be tougher
    When we pick on someone else it might make us feel rougher
    Abused by their fathers but was at home though
    so to prove to each other that they were not homos
    The exclamation of the phobic fury
    executioner, a judge and jury
    The mob mentality, individuality was nowhere
    Dignity forgotten at the bottom of a dumb old dare and a numb cold
    stare
    On the way home it was back to name calling
    Ten against one they had his back up against the wall and
    they reveled in their laughter as they surrounded him
    But it wasn't a game when they up jumped and grounded him
    They picked up their bats with their muscles straining
    and they decided they were gonna beat this fella's brain in
    with an awful, powerful, showerful, an hour full of violence
    Inflict the strictest brutality and dominance
    They didn't hear him screaming, they didn't hear him pleading
    They ran like cowards and left the boy bleeding
    in a pool of red 'til all tears were shed
    and his eyes quietly slid into the back of his head
    dead...

    You won't see the face 'til the eyelids drop
    You won't hear the screaming until it stops
    The boy's parents were gone and his grandmother had raised him
    She was mad she had no form of retaliation
    The pack didn't have to worry about being on a hitlist
    But the thing they never thought about was that there was a witness
    to this senseless crime, right place wrong time
    Tried as an adult one of them was gonna do hard time
    The first day of prison was always the hardest
    The first day of prison, the hallways the darkest
    Like a gauntlet
    the voices haunted
    Faggot, sissy, punk, queen, queer
    Words he used before had a new meaning in here
    As a group of men in front of him came near
    for the first time in his life the young bully felt fear
    He'd never been on this side of the name calling
    Five against one they had his back up against the wall and
    he had never questioned his own sexuality
    but this group of men didn't hesitate in their reality
    with an awful, powerful, showerful, an hour full of violence
    Inflict the strictest brutality and dominance
    They didn't hear him screaming
    They didn't hear him pleading
    They took what they wanted and then left him bleeding in the corner
    The giant reduced to jack horner
    But dehumanizing the victim makes things simpler
    It's like breathing with a respirator
    It eases the conscience of even the most conscious
    and calculating violator
    The power of words, don't take it for granted
    when you hear a man ranting
    Don't just read the lips, be more sublime than this
    Put everything in context, is this a tale of rough justice
    in a land where there's no justice at all ?
    Who is really the victim ? Or are we all the cause, and victim of it
    all ?

    You won't see the face 'til the eyelids drop
    You won't hear the screaming until it stops
