PP here, made me thing of Land of Confusion too. I prefer the Disturbed version, but the lyrics are the same obviously, and so appropriate for these times!!
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street. Now did you read the news today They say the danger's gone away But I can see the fire's still alight There burning into the night. There's too many men Too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see This is a land of confusion. This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in. Ooh Superman where are you now When everything's gone wrong somehow The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour. This is the time This is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go round Tell me why, this is a land of confusion. This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in. I remember long ago - Ooh when the sun was shining Yes and the stars were bright All through the night And the sound of your laughter As I held you tight So long ago - I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know, we'll never keep. Too many men There's too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see This is a land of confusion. Now this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth fighting for. This is the world we live in And these are the names we're given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to. |

Standing here baptized in all my tears
(Say, Say, Say) Hot damn. I see you licking frosting from your own hand (Cake by the Ocean) First things first I'm a realist (Fancy) Your lips are moving your lips are moving your lips are moving but you lie lie lie .... |

Original Creed poster here. I never knew much about him or band. The song just spoke to me as a parent. And now that I've learned about his mental illness. The last lines have even more meaning. |

One of my favorite lyrics just because I have absolutely no idea what the heck it means:
Windows are for cheaters Chimneys for the poor closets are for hangers winners use the door. |

Yea, there was a time I didn't like the love, I liked the climbers,
I was no sister then, I was running out of time and one liners, And I was afraid, like you are when you're too young to know the time, and So I watched the way you take your fear and hoard the horizon, You point, you have a word for every woman you can lay your eyes on, Like you own them just because you bought the time, And you turn to me, you say you hope I'm not threatened, Oh, I'm not that petty, as cool as I am, I thought you'd know this already, I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women So now we're at a club, you watch the woman dancing, she is drunk, She is smiling and shes falling in a slow, descending funk, And the whole bar is loud and proud and everybody's trying, yeah. You play the artist, saying, "Is it how she moves, or how she looks?" I say, its loneliness suspended to our own like grappling hooks, And as long as shes got noise, shes fine. But I could teach her how I learned to dance when the musics ended, Oh, and thats not petty, as cool as I am, I thought you'd know this already, I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women. You tried to make me doubt, to make me guess, tried to make me feel like a little less, Oh, I liked you when your soul was bared, I thought you knew how to be scared, And now its amazing what you did to make me stay, But truth is just like time, it catches up and it just keeps going, And so Im leaving, you can find out how much better things can get, And if it helps, Id say I feel a little worse than I did when we met, So when you find someone else, you can try again, it might work next time, You look out of the kitchen window and you shake your head and say low, "If I could believe that stuff, I'd say that woman has a halo," And I look out and say, "Yeah, shes really blond," And then I go outside to join the others, I am the others, Oh, and that's not easy, I don't know what you saw, I want somebody who sees me, I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women. Dar Williams - As Cool As I Am Lyrics |

I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls That hold me inside. I wanna reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name. I wanna feel sunlight on my face. I see the dust-cloud Disappear without a trace. I wanna take shelter From the poison rain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name. We're still building and burning down love Burning down love. And when I go there I go there with you (It's all I can do). The city's a flood, and our love turns to rust. We're beaten and blown by the wind Trampled in dust. I'll show you a place High on a desert plain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name. We're still building and burning down love Burning down love. And when I go there I go there with you (It's all I can do). |

"Come With Me Now" by the Kongos Come with me now Come with me now Walk, come with me now I'm gonna take you down Walk, come with me now I'm gonna show you how Walk, come with me now I'm gonna take you down Walk, come with me now I'm gonna show you how Afraid to lose control And caught up in this world I've wasted time, I've wasted breath I think I've thought myself to death I was born without this fear Now only this seems clear I need to move, I need to fight I need to lose myself tonight Walk, come with me now I'm gonna take you down Walk, come with me now I'm gonna show you how I think with my heart and I move with my head I open my mouth and it's something I've read I stood at this door before, I'm told But a part of me knows that I'm growing too old Confused what I thought with something I felt Confuse what I feel with something that's real I tried to sell my soul last night Funny, he wouldn't even take a bite Far away I heard him say (come with me now) Don't delay I heard him say (come with me now) Far away I heard him say (come with me now) Don't delay I heard him say (come with me now) Walk, come with me now I'm gonna take you down Walk, come with me now I'm gonna show you how Afraid to lose control And caught up in this world I've wasted time, I've wasted breath I think I've thought myself to death I was born without this fear Now only this seems clear I need to move, I need to fight I need to lose myself tonight Walk, come with me now Walk, come with me now I'm gonna take you down Walk, come with me now |

Take Me to Church -- Hozier
My lover's got humour She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshipped her sooner If the Heavens ever did speak She is the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week 'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me 'worship in the bedroom' The only heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well Amen. Amen. Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my lif |
