How Do You Like Me Now?!
Toby Keith



I was always the crazy one
Broke into the stadium
And I wrote your number on the 50 yard line
You were always the perfect one
And the valadictorian so
Under your number I wrote "call for a good time"

I only wanted to get your attention
But you overlooked me somehow
Besides you had too many boyfriends to mention
And I played my guitar too loud.

How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today?
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?

When I took off to Tennessee
I heard that you made fun of me
Never imagined I'd make it this far
Then you married into money girl
Aint it a cruel and funny world?
He took your dreams and tore them apart.

He never comes home
And youre always alone
And your kids hear you cryin down the hall
Alarm clock starts ringin
Who could that be singin
Its me baby, with your wake up call!

How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today?
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?

How do you like me now?
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today?
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?

Tell me baby...
I will preach on...

gas station

If I could have on the clouds a gas station
In the void to risk for my unfair star
The hearts, scraps in a convict body

Bring me glasses and break the glass
Cut the kiss, to drink, get drunk
All my favors you delayed them for too long
And I departed the crazyone high in the heavens

To forget, I could to reach the world again
It’s a heavy load for the time of the gypsies

Fires, hearts, scraps and a God above the unfair
Leave me in the clouds in an old gas station
If only I could raise my soul to the clouds
With thunders to serene the plaints I was putting forth
In my mind and to begin from the sadness having fun

Bring me glasses and break the glass
Cut the kiss, to drink, get drunk
All my favors you delayed them for too long
And I departed the crazyone high in the heavens

To forget, I could to reach the world again
It’s a heavy load for the time of the gypsies

Staind - It's been Awhile

It's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
Since I first saw you
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
Since I could call you
But everything I can't
remember as ****ed up as it
all may seem the consequences
that I've rendered I've stretched
myself beyond my means

It's been awhile
Since I could say that I wasn't addicted
Since I could say I loved myself as well
Since I've gone and ****ed things
up juts like I always do
But all that **** seems to
disappear when I'm with you
But everything I can't remember
as ****ed up as it may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and ****ed things up again
Why must I feel this way
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

It's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
Since I said I'm sorry
Since I've seen the way
the candle lights your face
But I can still remember
just the way you taste
But everything I can't remember as
****ed up as it all may seem to be
I know it's me I cannot blame this on my
father he did the best he could for me

It's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
and its been awhile since I said
I'm sorry

Terror X Crue

Awake inside some others' dreams.

I listen to the same 20 songs day and night
It’s the same sleaze, a lifetime on the air
The air that some polluted with smog
They’ve plunged a nation into a constant sorrow
**** it, there come times I feel
An intruder in my own land
I feel I become easy pray to the beasts
That have enclosed us in this land
To easily control us
Then again
Times come when I get dizzy
Because of the culture that they have enforced on me
This is also a factor
That systematically alienates me
From my Hellenic language
Throwing me deeper into hell
The pollution of the New World Order
Cannot be hidden
And I realize that perhaps
All these years I was awake
Inside some others’ dreams

I was awake inside some others’ dreams

My glare always falls
In an asymmetric world
An asymmetry is rising within me
From my birth
They ceaselessly water
My soul, body and spirit
With poison
And it is certain
That some push me to the downside
They want to kill each of my cerebral cells
They keep me in lethargy through a barren education
They barely teach me the essentials
So I can perform the work for them
Someone’s pulling me away from the essence
And throws me into the perishables’ vortex
My soul’s eye little by little closes
Someone doesn’t let me
To get away from this environment
And thus I remain awake
Inside some others’ dreams

I was awake inside some others’ dreams

Everything around me collapses
I fight to remain standing
Throwing with my torch Hellenic light
This dangerous for the darkness light
I want to erase from me
Each and everyone of their mark
I want to cut loose from their bonds
I’m not preaching
But to their bended construction
I will no longer be a pillar
I don’t sing cozy songs
I want to see it being demolished from its foundations
Let’s go!
None of us should be

Awake inside some others’ dreams

the day the world went away, nine inch nails.
(i'm thinking of a particular version, the one on 'still.')

i listen to the words he'd say
but in his voice,i heard decay
the plastic face forced to portay
all the insides left cold and grey
there is a place that still remains
it eats the fear, it eats the pain
the sweetest price he'll have to pay

the day the whole world went away.

eulogy for a pariah, this time in paradise
(instrumental, but it's got words that are meant to be read.)

i wish i had gotten to know him better. i passed by him every day, and he just seemd to fade into the background. the handful of his freinds always spoke very highly of him. for someone who tread so lightly on this world, he left an indellable mark on the lives he touched. but i just couldn't have been bothered to take the time to get to know him.

he gave his very soul to someone dear to him. and as far as i know, she still has it. he would like you to keep it as a reminder, not only to yourself, but to the world. i can only speculate as to why he would choose oblivion, so that you may keep his soul, but who am i to argue?

he was a man who opened himself up to whomever he met; his life an open book for all to read. maybe that's what scared everyone away. the fact that someone was willing to be honest with them for a change, and be themselves. there was no façade to him. no false pretenses of what he was about. and for that, i tip my hat to him.

he was difficult to anger, and carried a minimal amout of grudges. there's only one person that comes to mind that he would be loathed to forgive, and i can't say i blame him either. he was not blameless, and would tell you so, at that. he had done some terrible things, and admitted to it. honesty, to not only himself, but to anyone that spoke to him.

he will not be missed. his memory will be glanced over as he had been in life. but i have a funny feeling he'll be back for his soul eventually.

New York Mining Disaster 1941

In the event of something happening to me,
there is something I would like you all to see.
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew.

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound.
Maybe someone is digging underground,
or have they given up and all gone home to bed,
thinking those who once existed must be dead.

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

In the event of something happening to me,
there is something I would like you all to see.
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew.

Hvae you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

Children of the World


We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating
We are searchers of the truth, every man's a boy deep down
Gotta say it how you mean it - there ain't no easy way

Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born
To the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world - asking every question why
From arrival to survival - just to make it worth the waiting
We are faces in the night - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - there ain t no easy way

In the back of your mind there is always a mark
There's a wandering solo alone in the dark
You can keep it forever or tear it apart

We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changing my life, changing your life - keeps us all anticipating

We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born
Till the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating

We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating

Karvelas

Summer vacations

Remember the summer times at those times
With the gang in old Faliro
At Batis we gathered ‘round for a swim at mornings
In Amphitriti and in Adonis then for cinema

Summer vacations for ever
Summer vacations for ever

With some other gangs we had differences
And outside of Apollon clouts would fall

But at evening everyone sweet home
With the girls in our embrace
Some little party we arranged
And then at the movies

Summer vacations for ever
Summer vacations for ever

Best, Christmas song, ever.

Merry F--king Christmas - Mr Garrison

I heard there is no Christmas
In the silly Middle East
No trees, no snow, so Santa Claus,
They have different religious beliefs
They believe in Muhammed, and not in our holiday,
And so every December I go to the Middle East and saaaay

Hey there Mr Muslim, Merry F--king Christmas
Put down that book, the Koran,
And here's some holiday wishes.
In case you haven't noticed it's Jesus' birthday
So get off your heathen Muslim ass and f--king celebrate

There is no holiday season in India, I've heard
They don't hang up their stockings, and that is just absurd
They've never read a Christmas story,
They don't know what Rudolph is about.
And that is why in December I'll go to India and shout

Hey there Mr Hinduist, Merry F--king Christmas
Drink Egg Nog and eat some Beef and pass it to the Missus
In case you haven't noticed it's Jesus' birthday
So get off your heathen Hindu ass and f--king celebrate

Now I heard that in Japan everyone just lives in sin
They pray to several Gods, and put needles in their skin
On December 25th, all they do is eat a cake
And that is why I go to Japan, and walk around and say

Hey there Mr Shintoist, Merry F--king Christmas
God is going to kick your ass you infidelic Pagan scum
In case you haven't noticed, there's festive things to do
So lets all rejoice for Jesus, Merry F--king Christmas to you

On Christmas day,
I travel 'round the world and say
To all you Christians, Buddhists, and all you Atheists too
Merry F--king Christmas to you

Thank you Mr Hat

Arrogant Worms - Rippy The Gator

Hi kids!
Welcome to the Uncle Bobo show!
Are you ready to sing?
Come on, let's go!

Billy and his family went on a holiday
They went down to Florida to laugh and dance and
play
Bill went in for a swim, he didn't see the harm
But when he came back out again, he was short an arm

'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp!

Billy and his father went out to play some catch
But Billy missed the pass because his arm was
unattached
The ball flew past his shoulder and it rolled into
the swamp
When he went wading after it his leg became a stump

Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp!

Billy and his father joined a three-legged race
They were tearing up the field, no one could keep the pace
But Billy tripped and did a flip and landed in the muck
He was running out of limbs and also out of luck

Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp!

Billy was all dirty, he really had to wash
But he couldn't use a towel 'cause his limbs had been gnawed off
He went into the water to get all clean and bright
But when his bath was finished he was only half his height

Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp!

Billy's father rolled his wheelchair up upon a hill
He wanted to put Bill where he would not get killed
But he left him on a slope, and into the swamp he rolled
They dragged out his head but there was nothing left below

'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp!
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp!

Even Deeper, nine inch nails.

I woke up today
to find myself in the other place
with a trail of footprints
from where I ran away
it seems everything I've heard
just might be true
and you know me
(well you think you do)
sometimes, I have everything - yet I wish I felt something

do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have I become?
when I think I can overcome
it runs even deeper

and in a dream I'm a different me
with a perfect you
we fit perfectly
and for once in my life I feel complete
and I still want to ruin it
afraid to look
as clear as day
this plan has long been underway

I hear them call
I cannot stay
the voice inviting me away

do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have I become?
when I think I can overcome
it runs even deeper
everything that matters is gone
all the hands of hope have withdrawn
could you try to help me hang on?
it runs...

I straight
I won't crack
on my way
and I can't turn back
I'm okay
I'm on track
on my way
and I can't turn back
I stayed
on this track
gone too far
and I can't come back
I stayed
on this track
lost my way
can't come back

Seven Spanish Angels
Willie Nelson


He looked down into her brown eyes,
Said, " Say a prayer for me."
She threw her arms around him,
Whispered, "God will keep us free."
They could hear the riders comin,
He said, "This is my last fight.
If they take me back to Texas,
They won't take me back alive."

**Chorus**
There were seven Spanish Angels,
At the alter of the Sun.
They were prayin' for the lovers,
In the valley of the gun.
When the battle stopped,
And the smoke cleared.
There was thunder from the throne.
And seven Spanish angels,
Took another angel home.

She reached down and picked the gun up,
That lay smokin in his hand.
She said, "Father please forgive me,
I can't make it without my man."
And she knew the gun was empty,
And she knew she couldn't win.
Her final prayer was answered,
When the rifles fired again.

**Chorus**

The Big Come Down, nine inch nails.

there is a game I play
try to make myself okay
try so hard to make the pieces all fit
smash it apart
just for the f*ck of it

bye bye oooh
got to get back to the bottom
bye bye oooh
the big come down isn't that what you wanted?
bye bye oooh
find a place with the failed and forgotten
bye bye oooh
isn't that really what you wanted now?

there is no place I can go there is no way I can hide
it feels like it keeps coming from the inside

there is a hate that burns within
the most desperate place I have ever been
try to get back to where I'm from
the closer I get the worse it becomes
the closer I get the worse it becomes

there is no place I can go there is no place I can hide
it feels like it keeps coming from the inside


I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally

as black as the night can get
everything is safer now
there's always a way to forget
once you learn to find a way how

in the blur of serenity
where did everything get lost?
the flowers of naivete
buried in a layer of frost

the smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes

thought he had it all before they called his bluff
found out that his skin just wasn't thick enough
wanted to go back to how it was before
thought he lost everything
then he lost a whole lot more

a fool's devotion
swallowed up in empty space
the tears of regret
frozen to the side of his face

the smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes

I've done all I can do
could I please come with you?
sweet smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes


Where Is Everybody?

did you happen to catch
or did it happen so fast
what you thought would always last
has passed you by
is everything speeding up
or am I slowing down
just spinning around
and I don't know why
all the pieces don't fit
thought I didn't give a ****
I never wanted to be like you
but for all I aspire
I am really a liar
and I'm running out of things I can do

I'd like to stay
but every day
everything pushes me further away
if you couls show
help me to know
how it's supposed to be
where did it go?

pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding
exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and lying
defying denying
crying and dying
where is everybody?

well okay, enough,
you've had your fun
but come on thare has to be someone
that hasn't yet become
so numb and succumb
and god damn I am so tired of pretending
of wishing I was ending
when all I'm really doing is trying to hide
and keep it inside
and fill it with lies
open my eyes?
maybe I wish I could try

pleading and needing
and bleeding and breeding
and feeding exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and lying
defying denying
crying and dying
where is everybody?


edit: forgot it was three for thursday.

Maybe Just Once, nine inch nails.

i can't believe that what i feel is really happening to me.
make it hurt.
and point the finger at my insecurities.
well i guess i just don't understand about those complexities in your mind.
and i guess i just don't understand why this world seems so unkind.

maybe. maybe just once. i get what's coming.
maybe. maybe just once. i get what's coming to me.

so once again the way you feel will never ever stay the same.
and i'm to blame.
i wonder just who made the rules up for this game.
well i guess i just don't understand about what you want and what you need.
and i guess i just don't understand about how it has to be.

maybe. maybe just once. i get what's coming.
maybe. maybe just once. i get what's coming to me.

you sat down on this bed and you said
"Christ, what the hell do you think this place is?"
you know.
he just couldn't believe it!
and i said
"i don't know but it sure is something different"

so go ahead.
you say those thousand things you think you have to say.
look at me.
and tell me love's not such a hard word anyway.
well how can you count on me i thought you realized for sure.
and how can you just believe.
i thought i deserved just a little more.

maybe. maybe just once. i get what's coming.
maybe. maybe just once. i get what's coming to me.

oh God.
oh what's coming to me.

Thugz Mansion

by Tupac Shakur

A place to spend my quiet nights;
Time to unwind, so much pressure in this life of mine; I cry at times;
I once contemplated suicide -
I would have tried, but when I held that gun, all I could see was my mama's eyes.
No-one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble,
Not knowing it's hard to carry on when no-one loves you.
Picture me inside the misery of poverty - no man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived.
Prayin' hard for better days, promise to hold on;
Me and my dawgs didn't have no choice but to roll on.
We found a family spot to kick it -
Where we can drink liquor, and no-one bickers over trick s***;
A spot where we can smoke in peace.
And even though we G's, we still visualize places that we can roll in peace,
And in my mind's eye I see this place that players go in fast,
Got a spot for us all so we can ball at Thug's Mansion

Chorus:

Ain't no place I'd rather be,
Children, dead homies and family,
Sky high, iced out paradise,
In the sky.

Ain't no place I'd rather be,
Only place that's right for me,
Chromed out mansion in paradise,
In the sky.

Will I survive all the fights in the darkness? Trouble sparks!
They tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed.
I shed tattoo tears and couldn't sleep,
'Cause for multiple years, witnessed peers catch gunshots;
Nobody cares, see the politicians ban us; they'd rather see us locked in chains,
Please explain why they can't stand us!
Is there a way for me to change, or am I just a victim of things I didn't maintain?
I need a place to rest my head with the little bit of homeboys that remain, 'cause all the rest dead.
Is there a spot for us to roll? If you find it,
I'll be right behind you, show me and I'll go!
How can I be peaceful? I'm coming from the bottom,
Watch my daddy scream "Peace!" while the other man shot him.
I need a house that's full of love when I need
To escape the deadly places slinging drugs, Thug's Mansion

Chorus

Dear mama don't cry, your baby boy's doing good,
Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods.
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook,
Drinkin' peppermint schnapps with Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke.
Then some lady named Billie Holliday sang sittin' there,
Kickin' it with Malcolm till the day came.
Little LaTasha's sure grown, tell the lady in the liquor store she's forgiven
So come home.
Maybe in time, you'll understand only God can save us;
With Miles Davis cuttin' loose with the band.
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past -
They passed on, now in heaven found peace at last.
Picture a place that they exist, together.
There has to be a place better than this, in heaven.
So right before I sleep, dear God what I'm askin',
Remember this face, save me a place, in Thug's Mansion . . .

Chorus

I'm The Slime
Frank Zappa

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks.. Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livingroom floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
