[dezdimona]

(Joan Jett/Kenny Laguna)

 

Machismo doesn't wanna know macho, macho, macho

It's always such a show, when anyone is watchin'

Even when you're wrong, you just won't admit it

You think you're bein' strong, so you take it to the limit

 

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'

It's time to play the fool again

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'

You think you're cool but baby you're not

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'

You gotta rule and call the shots

 

Machismo doesn't understand macho, macho, macho

What makes a man a man, it ain't about your ego

You have to make your point but where the hell's it got ya

You're just a bunch a noise, but that ain't nothin' new

 

Always so macho, always so macho

If you could only see yourself

Always so macho, always so macho

You ain't got the balls to be yourself

Always so macho, always so macho

You take it out on everyone else

Always so macho, always so macho oooohh

 

Machismo loves to fight macho, macho, macho

That you think might is right!

But I know that it just ain't so

Bravado is veneer, and yours is one I see through

You're really insecure and you're afraid I know you

 

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'

You gotta rule an' call the shots

Always so macho, always so macho

If you could only see yourself

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'

You thing you're cool but baby you're not

Always so macho, always so macho ooooohh

 

You've got to have your say

Always have to get your way

Don't want Machismo anymore

[Sniperwhere]

REVIVAL!

 

Yellowcard - Believe

 

Think about the love inside the strength of heart

Think about the heroes saving life in the dark

Climbing higher through the fire

Time was running out

Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive

 

But you still came back for me

You were strong and you believed

 

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong believe

 

Be strong believe

 

Think about the chance I never had to say

Thank you for giving up your life that day

Never fearing only hearing voices calling out

Let it all go the life that you know

Just to bring them down alive

 

And you still came back for me

You were strong and you've believed

 

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong believe

 

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong believe

[radio voice]

again today,

we take into our hearts and mind

Those who perished on this site one year ago

and also,

those who came to toil in the rubble

To bring order out of chaos,

to help us make sense of Our despair

 

Wanna hold my wife when I get home

Wanna tell the kids they'll never know

How much I love to see them smile

Wanna make a change right here right now

Wanna live a life like you somehow

Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile

 

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong believe

 

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong believe

 

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong believe

(background voice):Think about the love inside the strength of heart

Think about the heroes saving lives in the dark

 

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong believe

(background voice):Think about the chance I never had to say

Thank you for giving up your life that day

 

(radio voice): The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

Been awhile but I have been increasingly dependent on music since I started driving 6 months ago. Mostly because blasting my music while alone in my car helps me to deal with the massive traffic problems in and around Atlanta. One song I have been very addicted to lately:

 

Tool - Aenema

 

Some say the end is near.

Some say we'll see armageddon soon.

I certainly hope we will.

I sure could use a vacation from this

Bulls*** three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks

Here in this hopeless f*****g hole we call LA

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

Any f*****g time. Any f*****g day.

Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

 

Fret for your figure and

Fret for your latte and

Fret for your lawsuit and

Fret for your hairpiece and

Fret for your prozac and

Fret for your pilot and

Fret for your contract and

Fret for your car.

It's a

Bulls*** three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks

Here in this hopeless f*****g hole we call LA

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

Any f*****g time. Any f*****g day.

Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

 

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.

Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.

Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still.

Followed by millions of dumbfounded dips***s.

Some say the end is near.

Some say we'll see armageddon soon.

I certainly hope we will.

I sure could use a vacation from this

Stupid s***, silly s***, stupid s***t.

One great big festering neon distraction,

I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim x3.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.

Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

 

Learn to swim x8.

F*** L Ron Hubbard and

F*** all his clones.

F*** all those gun-toting

Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim x8.

F*** retro anything.

F*** your tattoos.

F*** all you junkies and

F*** your short memory.

Learn to swim x7.

F*** smiley glad-hands

With hidden agendas.

F*** these dysfunctional,

Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim x8.

 

'cause I'm praying for rain

And I'm praying for tidal waves

I wanna see the ground give way.

I wanna watch it all go down.

Mom please flush it all away.

I wanna see it go right in and down.

I wanna watch it go right in.

Watch you flush it all away.

 

Time to bring it down again.

Don't just call me pessimist.

Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't

Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.

Put it down.

Suck it down.

Flush it down.

Wow it's been forever since I've been on these forums and what do you know, My favorite thread hasn't died.

 

I recently started listening to someone I've known about for several years but never really paid attention too. He's an Underground Nerd Rapper called MC Chris. If you've ever watched Aqua Teen Hunger Force he's the voice of the the semi reocurring character MC Pee Pants. He's also does voice work for other Williams Street shows the only one I can think of off the top of my head is the Brak show and Space Ghost Coast to Coast. He's Brak.

 

This song is called Never Give Up and it from his CD MC Chris is Dead

 

A regular arachnid,

back with the hat trick,

a rappin' maniac was a little rappin' fat kid,

now I pack venues

like they was a bowl,

microtrash, microblast, from my mighty microphone.

 

Rap for my mom's Bridge club,

back in the day,

at Bible camp I would rap

so maybe I could get laid,

backstage it was a blaze,

different days of rehearsal,

before I smoked the purple

with a circle of Earkles.

 

Took my rappin' to Manhattan,

where the motto's do or die,

didn't know a single soul,

and soon it's suicide,

I'm feelin' microscopic down on Madison Ave.,

I could jump from a window,

or in front of a cab,

then, mc chris arrives

said I'll surely survive,

if you feel like you can't function,

start shuckin' the jive,

don't drown in the sound

of your certain demise,

just be a different person if you're hurting inside.

 

(Never give up, never surrender,

I'm gonna pick you up like they did in Defender,

no shame in your game,

'cause your name ain't Ender,

never give up,

never surrender!)x2

 

Felt like I was weird,

like I didn't belong,

like I was broken and wrong,

and better off gone,

it's hard to see the future when the present tense is suckin',

it's hard to keep truckin' when you're stuck at loser junction.

 

You can't call it quits,

don't throw in the towel,

you can take a lot of licks,

so never listen to the owl,

don't listen to the pundits,

the haters or the critics,

you can suck my di-d**k,

take a leap at Chappaquiddick,

the Chronicles of Riddick,

watched the movies and the credits,

wouldn't leave the theater

'cause I felt like I'd regret it,

the city was so big,

and frankly it wasn't feelin' right,

and besides I wanna find out who's the dolly grip on Demon Night.

But then I met a friend and he kinda showed me music,

NOFX and MTX it mixed me up like Rubix,

I found a path and called it rap,

it helped me escape,

if you feel rotten and forgotten,

remember there'll be better days.

 

(Never give up, never surrender,

I'm gonna pick you up like they did in Defender,

no shame in your game,

'cause your name ain't Ender,

never give up,

never surrender!)x2

 

(You can never give up,

you can never surrender,

fight the good fight

'till the end of the night and,

always remember.)x4

 

That you can never give up,

NEVER SURRENDER!

 

As always is my style here's a link to the song for you to enjoy

[worm82075]

That's great. I watch Adult Swim every night so I can appreciate that.

 

"It's for the shorties"

 

Thanks.

When ever I find good music I like to share it with others. Instead of creating a new thread I'll just revive this one. The song I'd like to share is Everlast-Stone in my hand

 

Ride with the devil, hide with the lord

I got no pistol, ain't got no sword

I got no army, ain't got no land,

Ain't got nothing but the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

Ain't got nothing but the stone that's in my hand

 

You say you want a revolution, well get on board

We'll start a new crusade; we'll start a holy war

Don't need no orders, don't need no plan

I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand

 

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand

 

You build your fighter jets, you drop your bombs

You kill our fathers, you kill our moms

You kill our brother and our sisters, and our uncles and our aunts

Still I'm fighting with the stone that's in my hand

 

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

Still I'm fighting with the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

All the love that's in my heart and the stone that's in my hand

 

Blood runs in the gutters, smoke fills the sky

Every son that suffers, every mother cries

So if you've had enough and you're ready for your stand

I'll be waiting with the stone that's in my hand

 

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

I'll be waiting with the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

All the love that's in my heart and the stone that's in my hand

 

As I usually do here's a the vid so you can listen while you read.

Wish You Were Here (Waters, Gilmour)

 

So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from Hell,

Blue skys from pain.

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

 

And did they get you to trade

Your heros for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

And 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 fish bowl,

Year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have we found?

The same old fears.

Wish you were here
