Lyrics I love

These aren’t necessarily lyrics that come from my favourite songs, just a few that identify how I’ve been feeling lately.

Bro – Goldfinger: You use your fake friends, use them then throw them away. So now it’s the end! Don’t fucking smile, just get the fuck away from me, get the fuck away

Neighbourhood # 3 (Power Out) – Arcade Fire: And the power’s out, in the heart of man. Take it from your heart, put it in your hand. What’s the plan? What’s the plan? Is it a dream? Is it a lie? I think I’ll let you decide. Just light a candle for the kids, Jesus Christ, don’t keep it hid!

Light Grenades – Incubus: Survived the plague, floated the flood, just peeked our heads above the mud, no one’s immune, deafening bells, my god, will we survive ourselves?

Forever Song – Josh Pyke: I wanna know that I know what I’m talking about, until I do, all the walls seem white. But when I know that I know what I’m talking about, I’ll take your burden if you’ll say it’s mine

The Irrationality of Rationality – NoFX: When one makes 20 million, ten thousand people lose. What stops that one from swallowing a shotgun?

Riot – Mad Caddies: This empire’s crumbling down, greed of the nations will burn to the ground again. But will we understand? Raise our hands for equality?

Consequential Apathy – RxBandits: Where you going? What’s this life for? How do you wanna be when you grow old? What you wanna say, what you wanna do? Nobody’s a victim, it’s only up to you. Wise man say you reap what you have sown, only what you have sown

Let’s Face It – The Mighty Mighty Bosstones: Why were we put here? What for? We’re unsure. We sure weren’t put here to hate. Be racist, be sexist, be bigots, be sure: we won’t stand for your hate

All The Young Fascists – Shihad: They’re taking all the colours away, can’t put it back together again. They’re taking all the colours away, we will never forgive, and we will never forget. Chop the tree down and replace it with nothing, they kill ideas at the push of a button; pull your strings, do your thing – you’re just a puppet, right?

As you may be able to tell, for some reason I’m feeling a bit disgusted with humanity at the moment. Not sure why. It may have something to do with the fact that I saw Sweeny Todd tonight. Do yourself a favour, and don’t see that movie. I didn’t like it at all, and I very rarely actively dislike a film. I’m seriously considering becoming a vegetarian. I can’t believe shit like this movie gets voted best film and gets to be called art – yes, I really consider serial killing and cannibalism to be art.  What a standard to aspire to! I wish the world would just wake the fuck up some days. Complacency gets us absolutely nowhere.
