Don't mean nothin'

[allthumbs]

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small

And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall

Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call

And call Alice, when she was just small

When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go

And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low

Go ask Alice, I think she'll know

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead

And the white knight is talking backwards

And the red queen's off with her head

Remember what the dormouse said

Feed your head, feed your head

You want me to throw it into the tub when White Rabbit peaks?

[Mr._Natural]

I thought he wanted he radio in the tub when the song peaks and the rabbit eats his own head?

[RobBob]

Mr. Natural's got it right.

 

"You should see what's happening in the elevator!"

for the recored Jefferson Airplane rocked

 

Jefferson Starship, not at all

[Mr._Natural]

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

 

Say you don't know me, or recognize my face

Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place

Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight

Too many runaways eating up the night

 

Ma Coley plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

 

chorus

 

Someone's always playing corporation games

Who cares they're always changing corporation names

We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage

They call us irresponsible, write us off the page

 

Ma Coley plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

 

chorus

 

It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street

Well if you got the toco, oh, then we just lost the beat

 

Who counts the money underneath the bar

Who writes the wrecking ball in two wild guitars

Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're just simple fools

Looking for America, coming through your schools

 

(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge

Out on a gorgeous sunny Saturday, I've seen that low amount of traffic)

 

Don't you remember (remember)

 

(Here's your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city

The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)

 

Ma Coley plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

 

chorus repeats 2x

 

(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)

(repeats out)

 

this is the first song I can remember hearing on the radio, age seven or so.

"for the recored Jefferson Airplane rocked--Jefferson Starship, not at all "

 

I agree that the Starship happened after they started to go downhill, but wasn't Blows Against the Empire one of their albums? That one was worthy.

YOU GOTTA FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT.....

[allthumbs]

 

Actually I was watching 'Platoon' last night and that song brought back memories.

[sk]

some seriously GREAT music came out of the 60's

[ScottP]

I thought he wanted he radio in the tub when the song peaks and the rabbit eats his own head?

 

All he got was a grapefruit!

(I love that part.)

[Off_White]

Grace Slick has one of the best women in rock voices.....

 

You mean "had" don't you? Not that she's dead, but the quality of her voice is. She can't hit those notes in White Rabbit anymore. The whole arc of the Jefferson Whatever band history would make for quite a soap opera.

[sk]

I have not heard Grace try and sing in quite some time... Stevie Nix still sounds awsome though saw her on VH1 a cupple of weekends ago.

[North_by_Northwest]

Actually I have it right according to the movie. I assume the biting head quote is from the book...
