Dave_Schuldt Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Bright Eyes (Coner Oberst) "When The President Talks To God" When the president talks to God Are the conversations brief or long? Does he ask to rape our women’s' rights And send poor farm kids off to die? Does God suggest an oil hike When the president talks to God? When the president talks to God Are the consonants all hard or soft? Is he resolute all down the line? Is every issue black or white? Does what God say ever change his mind When the president talks to God? When the president talks to God Does he fake that drawl or merely nod? Agree which convicts should be killed? Where prisons should be built and filled? Which voter fraud must be concealed When the president talks to God? When the president talks to God I wonder which one plays the better cop We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke That's what God recommends When the president talks to God Do they drink near beer and go play golf While they pick which countries to invade Which Muslim souls still can be saved? I guess god just calls a spade a spade When the president talks to God When the president talks to God Does he ever think that maybe he's not? That that voice is just inside his head When he kneels next to the presidential bed Does he ever smell his own bullshit When the president talks to God? I doubt it I doubt it Quote
glacier Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 When the Generals Talk -Midnight Oil Up there on the platform He is speaking to the people The people are responding With clapping and a'cheering But the meaning of the message Not revealed to those assembled They're taken for a ride Taken In his stride When the Generals talk You better listen to him When the Generals talk You better do what he say There's a rumour in the ranking Someone's talking insurrection So the General has a purge 'Cos he wants to win elections With the certain satisfaction That the people are appeased Long live the revoluton The General's very pleased Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground The fat cats still push the thin cats around (Hirst/Moginie/Garrett) Quote

Thinker Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Put no stone at my head, no flowers on my tomb No gold plated sign in a marble pillared room The one thing I want when they lay me in the ground When I die tear my stillhouse down Oh tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust Don't leave no trace of the hiding place Where I made that evil stuff For all my time and money no profit did I see That old copper kettle was the death of me When I was a child way back in the hills I laughed at the men who tended those stills But that old mountain shine, it caught me somehow When I die tear my stillhouse down Oh tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust Don't leave no trace of the hiding place Where I made that evil stuff For all my time and money no profit did I see That old copper kettle was the death of me Oh tell all your children that Hell ain't no dream 'Cause Satan he lives in my whisky machine And in my time of dying I know where I'm bound So when I die tear my stillhouse down Oh tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust Don't leave no trace of the hiding place Where I made that evil stuff For all my time and money no profit did I see That old copper kettle was the death of me Quote
Squid Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Nada Surf- Happy Kid I'm just a happy kid Stuck with the heart of a sad punk Drowning in my id Always searching like it's on junk No matter who i hang out with I can hear the clack clunk Of the chains that pull the cars up The roller coaster mountain top so high When it comes down it shoots back up Straight back to the sky I gotta laugh and then i'm asleep And then i walk around and wanna cry Out at night to do the strand The little candles make the bottles glow Got ink all over my right hand Getting crushes with no chance to grow It's like i'll never ever land There's always too much sun Or too much snow I get slow days and no days I get rusty and it's hard But i get notions that oceans Are coming to my call You can learn to get along I'm just a happy kid Stuck with the heart of an old punk Drowning in my id Always hungry like it's on junk I'm just a happy kid Quote
