I'd Love to Change the World - Ten Years After

Everywhere is freaks and hairies Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity Tax the rich, feed the poor Till there are no rich no more I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you Population keeps on breeding Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy Life is funny, skies are sunny Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you World pollution, there's no solution Institution, electrocution Just black and white, rich or poor Them and us, stop the war I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you

Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday

Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop

Uninvited - Alanis Morissette

Like anyone would be I am flattered by your fascination with me Like any hot-blooded woman I have simply wanted an object to crave But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Must be strangely exciting To watch the stoic squirm Must be somewhat heartening To watch shepherd need shepherd But you you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Like any uncharted territory I must seem greatly intriguing You speak of my love like You have experienced love like mine before But this is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight I don't think you unworthy I need a moment to deliberate

Love Walked In - Thunder

So tired of waiting I walked an empty land I was looking for something to help me understand But bad luck kept turning my dreams into sand I didn't want pity, I had my share of friends I wanted somebody more special than the rest I was aching inside like I was approaching the end Just about that moment the timing was so right You appeared like a vision sent down to my life I thought I was dreaming when I saw you that night   That's when love walked in through my door That familiar feeling I had once before  love walked in through my door And it felt so strange It's hard to remember being on my own That kind of loving makes a hard man lose control But I sleep so much better now I'm not alone So promise me baby you're always gonna stay I don't think I could take it seeing you walk away You don't need to doubt it, I remember that day That's when love walked in through my door That familiar feeling I had once before love walk

Heroine - The Velvet Underground

I don't know just where I'm going But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my vein And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know I have made the big decision I'm gonna try to nullify my life 'Cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the dropper's neck When I'm closing in on death And you can't help me not, you guys And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk You can all go take a walk And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that Put on a sailor's suit and cap Away from the big city Where a man can

Cool To Hate - The Offspring

I hate a lot of things I hate a lot of people that are lame I like to hate stuff Cause then I don't have to try and make a change I hate teachers I hate school I hate the cheerleaders And anyone who's cool I hate the office I hate the quad Don't wanna learn nothing I want to be a slob It's cool to hate It's cool to hate I don't like nothing and I like that fine It's cool to hate It's cool to hate I don't like nothing and I like that fine I don't like nothing and I like that fine Yeah I hate everything I even hate you, too So fuck you I'm always thinking bad I never have nothing good to say I'd rather tear things down Than build them up It's easier that way I hate the jocks And I hate the geeks I hate the trendies But I also hate the freaks I hate Dr. Martens and muscle T's I'm only happy when I'm in my misery It's cool to hate It's cool to hate Liking something's just
