Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world which they have to live in
Oh! The hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won and love comes flowing through

Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sunrise of tomorrow bring in peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

So you children of the world, listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in, spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive; you must be brave
Or you children of today are Children of the Grave, Yeah!

Lazy lightning
Sleepy fire in your eyes
Is it desire in disguise?
I keep on tryin' but I--
I can't get through

Lazy lightning
I'd like to find the proper potion
To kinda capture your emotion
You're right beside me but I--
I can't get through


You're a loop of lazy lightning,
Liquid loop of lazy lightning,
Must admit you're kinda fright'ning,
But you really get me high


So exciting,
When I hear your velvet thunder
Seems so near I start to wonder,
Would you come closer if I--
I asked you to?


So inviting,
The way you're messin' with my reason
It's an obsession but it's pleasin'
Tell me a lie and I will swear
I'll swear it's true


You're a loop of lazy lightning,
Liquid loop of lazy lightning,
Must admit you're kinda fright'ning,
Liquid loop of lazy lightning


Rope of fire 'round my heart,
Rope of fire ever tight'nin',
Rope of fire 'round my heart,
It's either lunacy or lightnin'


Lazy lightning
The way you always 'lectrify me
Someday I know you'll satisfy me
And all that lightning will be my lightning too
My lightning too


["Supplication"]

(Whoo-hoo-hoo) Dizzy ain't the word for the way that you're
Makin' me feel now
(Whoo-hoo-hoo) I need some indication if
All of this is real now
(Whoo-hoo-hoo) I've heard it said there could be something
Wrong in my head, now
(Whoo-hoo-hoo) Could it be infatuation or am I just
Bein' mislead, now
Little bolt of inspiration, right beside me now
Sparkin' my imagination, lightening now
Causin' instant excitation, cause you're frightening now
Come to heed my supplication, got to have it now
My light'nin' too, My light'nin' too

Dunno why, but I've been on a Dead kick the last couple of weeks.


"It Must Have Been The Roses" by the Grateful Dead

Annie layed her head down in the roses
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons
in her long brown hair
I don't know, it must have been the roses
All I know is I could not leave her there


I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know maybe it was the roses
All I know was I could not leave her there


Ten years the waves rolled the
ships home from the sea
Thinking well how it may blow
in all good company
if I tell another what
your own lips told to me
may I lay neath the roses
and my eyes no longer see


I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know maybe it was the roses
All I know was I could not leave her there


One pane of glass in the window
No one is complaining though,
come in and shut the door
Faded is the crimson from the
ribbons that she wore
and it's strange how no one
comes round anymore


I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know maybe it was the roses
All I know was I could not leave her there


Annie layed her head down in the roses
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons
in her long brown hair
I don't know, it must have been the roses
All I know was I could not leave her there


I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know maybe it was the roses
All I know was I could not leave her there

People going nowhere, taken for a ride
Looking for the answers that they know inside
Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme
Snow White's mirror said "partners in crime!"

Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again

Sunday's satisfaction, Monday's home and dry
Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie
All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
Hold back, `till it's ready, taking it slow

Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again

Don't you ever say die
Don't you ever say die
Never say die

Panic, silver lining, writing's on the wall
Children get together, you can save us all
Future's on the corner, throwing us a die
Slow down, turn around, everything's fine

There's no need to have a reason
There's no need to wonder why
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again

Take me through the centuries to supersonic years
Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears
All I have to give you is a love that never dies
The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes
Yeah

Mother moon, she's calling me back to her silver womb
Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb
Seventh night the unicorn is waiting in the skies
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies
Yeah

Take my hand, my child of love come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years
When our love will ride away into eternal skies
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies
Yeah

[try another castle]

When the earth was still flat
And the clouds made of fire
And mountains stretched up to the sky
Sometimes higher
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs
They had two sets of arms
They had two set of legs
They had two faces staring
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked: while they read
And they never knew nothing of love
It was before the origin of love.

The origin of love

And there were three sexes then
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back
Called the children of the sun
And similar in shape an girth
Were the children of the earth
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son

The origin of love

Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said
"I'm going to kill them all
with my hammer
Like I killed the giants."
And Zeus said "No,
You better let me
Use my lightning like scissors
Like I cut the legs off the whales
Dinosaurs into lizards."
And then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh
Said "I'll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half."
And the storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire

And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife.
And it ripped
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole
Pulled it round our belly
To remind us of the price we pay.
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane
To scatter us away
In a flood of wind and rain
And a sea of tidal waves
To wash us all away
And if we don't behave
They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping around on one foot
And looking through one eye.

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar
But I could not recognize
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same one as the one down in mine.
That's the pain
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening
Such a long time ago
When by the mighty hand of Jove
It was a sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures
It's the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.

Do you wanna
Do you wanna
Said do you wanna live your life
Without the groove
of the plastic fantastic machine?
To live a life like that
Well that's not for me
(?) just like me

Would you please?
Would you please?
Want you to turn the tables around
(Don't take my vinyl away)
I want the tables turning my sound
(Don't take my vinyl away)

Can't find my favorite record
'Cause they tell me they will never make it anymore
I wish someone could tell me
Just exactly what this generation's coming to

Do you wanna live a life
Without the groove
Of the plastic fantastic machine
To live a life like that
Well that's not for me

Don't take my vinyl away

Won't you turn the tables around
I want the tables turning my sound

Every time a hear a CD
Seems like someone's trying to shoot me
With a laser beam
I wish someone could tell me
Just exactly what this generation's coming to

Say you're
One man's taste
Want what? Fall and break
We've seen the dream folks
In our day
What?
Fought the father the pope
Finally sent away

Warden!
Lock it!
Free love's
Fought our battles through the day
We were full on idle
A lot of them say
Obey
Your colorist
Bleach it all the way

Free reign!
Good rest!
Break!
Every brunette in the way
We were full on idle
A lot of them say
Obey
Your violence
It's kinda late
Say! You're!
One man's date
Want what?
Fall and break
We were full on idle
A lot of them say
Obey your violence
Look close!
Hate!
Tide all white
Row!
On the glass surf
He pulled the paddle
It's okay with me

What I'd like to do
With your violin
And it's bow

"...I'm gonna make ya bleed, somehow-ow!!!..."

[Anonymous]

"...I'm gonna make ya bleed, somehow-ow!!!..."

This reminds me, I was just thinking of posting these lines by the DC Hardcore band, The Faith:

"I may be idle but I'm far from stagnant
The thoughts in my head have begun to fragment
I know what I want & I take what I need
I'm gonna make their society bleed!"

[try another castle]

1, 2, 3, 4!

Almost every day
I see the same face
On broken picture tube
It fits the attitude
If you could see yourself
You put you on a shelf
Your verbal masturbate
Promise to nauseate
Today I'll play the part of non-parent
Not make a hundred rules
For you to know about yourself
Not lie and make you believe
What's evil is making love
and making friends
and meeting God you're own way
The right way

We stand alone

The truth in right and wrong
The boundaries of the law
You seem to miss the point
Arresting for a joint?
You seem to wonder why
Hundreds of people die
You're writing tickets man
My mom got jumped -- they ran!
Now I'll play a public servant

To serve and protect
By the law and the state
I'd bust the punks
That rape steal and murder
And leave you be
If you crossed me
I'd shake your hand like a man
Not a god

Come meet your maker, boy
Some things you can't enjoy
Because of heaven/hell
A fucking wives' tale
They put it in your head
Then put you in your bed
He's watching say your prayers
Cause God is everywhere
Now I'll play a man learning priesthood
Who's about to take the ultimate test in life
I'd question things because I am human
And call NO ONE my father who's no closer than a stranger

I won't listen

To see
To bleed
Cannot be taught
In turn
You're making us
Ohhhh Fucking hostile

[webdiva]

ive always  liked this song, for the longest time i thought he was singing about a girlfriend not his mother.  

Hate Me

i have to block out thoughts of you
so i don?t lose my head
they crawl in like a cockroach
leaving babies in my bed

dropping little reels of tape
to remind me that i?m alone
playing movies in my head
that make a porno feel like home

there's a burning in my pride
a nervous bleeding in my brain
an ounce of peace is all i want for you
will you never call again

and will you never say that you loved me just to put it in my face
and will you never try to reach me it is i that wanted space

hate me today
hate me tomorrow
hate me for all the things i didn?t do for you

hate me in ways
yea ways hard to swallow
hate me so you can finally see what?s good for you

i?m sober now for three whole months
it?s one accomplishment that you helped me with
the one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing i wont touch again

in my sick way i want to thank you
for holding my head up late at night
while i was busy waging wars on myself
you were trying to stop the fight

you never doubted my warped opinions
on things like suicidal hate
you made me compliment myself
when it was way to hard to take

so i?ll drive so fucking far away
that i never cross your mind
and do whatever it takes in your heart
to leave me behind

hate me today
hate me tomorrow
hate me for all the things i didn?t do for you

hate me in ways
yea ways hard to swallow
hate me so you can finally see what?s good for you

with a sad heart i say bye to you and wave
kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that i had made
and like a baby boy i never was a man
until i saw your blue eyes cry and i held your face in my hand

and then i fell down yelling make it go away
just make her smile come back and shine just like it use to be
and then she whispered how can you do this to me

hate me today
hate me tomorrow
hate me for all the things i didn?t do for you

hate me in ways
yea ways hard to swallow
hate me so you can finally see what?s good for you for you for you for you...

a few GS tunes i really like awesome stress relievers! lol

Sick of Life

Paralyzed
Nothing's getting through to me
Hypnotized from all my surroundings
I wanna be something I could never be
I wanna say things that I could never say
Yeah, I'm gonna do it again

Sick of my life
I'm tired of everything in my life

Dragged down
Rubbing my face in the ground
No time for the undecided
I wanna know why I've always felt alone
And I wanna love
Why am I untouchable
Yeah, I'm gonna do it again

Sick of my life
I'm tired of everything in my life
I never wanted to be sick of my life
I'm tired of everything in my lifeback to top


Awake    
Wait another minute
Can't you see what this pain has fucking done to me
I'm alive and still kickin'
What you see I can't see
And maybe you'll think before you speak

I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you

Take another second
Turn your back on me
And make believe that you're always happy
It's safe to say you're never alive
A big part of you has died
And by the way
I hope you're satisfied

I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you

Tearing it back unveiling me
Taking a step back so I can breathe
Hear the silence about to break
Fear resistance when I'm awakeback to top

Greed
Two faced
I feel you crawling under my skin
Sickened by your face
By the way
To think that you're so fucking kind
You ain't

Hard to find how I feel
Especially when your smothering me
Hard to find how I feel
Please someone help me

I knew when an angel whispered into my ear
You gotta get him away
Hey little bitch
Be glad you finally walked away
You may have not lived another day

Hard to find how I feel
Especially when your smothering me
Hard to find how I feel
Please someone help me
Hard to find how I feel
Controlling me every step of the way
Hard to find how I feel
You greedy little baby
