And who the hell are you to tell me that I can’t leave my kid in the car?

"The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had" Mad World, Tears for Fears.
Stuck with me from when I listenerd originally.
Hey man, nice shot.
Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right
You've come far
and though you're far from the end,
You don't mind where you are,
cause you know where you've been
“Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage”
&
“So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you could tell?
Did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here”
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
You can just replace company store with whatever capitalist institution owns you. 🫠
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me! x14
Stuffing corpses full of shit and pain.
They bloviate about a future beyond the moon. To bring about another planet's doom
To discover peaceful life and beat our war-drum to its tune Unless my prayers are answered
Our end is coming soon.
Protest the Hero - Sequoia Throne
The rest of their discography is fantastic, but their lyrics in this album which penned by their former bass player is just another league.
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
- Pink Floyd, Time
The older I get the less I like that one
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
The unfortunate thing about this lyric is that people who have been asked to do nothing more than help keep our fellow citizens safe, healthy, and educated, think this is for them.
And some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office.
From wikipedia:
Zack de la Rocha sometimes changed the lyrics in the second verse from "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses" to "Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office" when playing live.
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. - Freewill by Rush.
It's when murder is justice that martyrs are made

If you tolerate this, then your children will be next.
Manic Street Preachers are massively underrated. That's a fucking killer song.
Di-de-di-da-di-de-do-do

All coppers are bastards
Ten million dollars in a losing campaign
Twenty million starving and writhing in pain
Big, strong people, unwilling to give
Small in vision and perspective
One in five kids below the poverty line
One population running out of time
Bad Religion, Punk Rock Song from the album The Gray Race.
Abracadabra boom-shacka-dae
I'm Violent J and I'm back like a vertebrae
And I come with a hat full of tricks
Trunk full of Faygo, car full of fat chicks.
ICP. Hocus Pocus
And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun
-Pink Floyd
I almost cry every time I hear those lyrics.
You can check out, but you can never leave.
Deine Gewalt ist nur ein stummer Schrei nach Liebe
Deine Springerstiefel sehnen sich nach Zärtlichkeit
Du hast nie gelernt, dich zu artikulieren
Und deine Eltern hatten niemals für dich Zeit
Oh-ho-ho, Arschloch!
I only lived in Germany for a bit, but this one stuck in my head pretty hard. Schrei nach Liebe by Die Ärzte
"Fuck the police"
They call me the hiphoppopotamus
Flows that glow like phosphorus
Poppin' off the top o' this esophagus
Rockin' this metropolis
I'm not a large water dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Steve told me.
The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming
I've been waiting for the next Vengabus since 1998. Our public transport infrastructure is a fucking joke.
Ask not for whom the Vengabus comes, for it comes for thee.
Better, it hits harder every year.
I just wanna fuckin sleep
Bath Salts by Highly Suspect
The sun ablaze as Maria's foot touches the surface of sand
On northern land, as human contraband
Some rico from Jalisco passed her name to the Boss
She stuffed into a truckbed, she clutches her cross
Here comes the exhaust and it rips through her lungs
She's off fast to the pasture, like cattle she'll cross
Degree 106, sweat and vomit are thrown And she prays and suffocates upon the memories of home
Of Yanqui guns for blood, debts on the loans
Of smoldering fields, rape, rubble and bones
Of graves hidden, trapped up in visions of war
Of nothing, no one, nobody, no more
Hard to pick a RATM song, but Maria is one of my favourite lyrically. Also topical right now
Yes I know my enemies; They're the teachers who taught me to fight me.

The Clash's "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais"
All over people changing their votes
Along with their old codes
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine straight away
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"
"Funky life, I've been told, all that glitters is not gold"
"All that's black is really white, if you can see it"
It is recent, but
There's no joy in my life There's no joy when I'm right I know what they say when I walk in the light There's no joy
