System of a down - Toxicity     (2002)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
Conversion, software version 7.0
Looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub

[Pre-Chorus]
Eating seeds as a pastime activity
The toxicity of our city, of our city

[Chorus]
You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder, disorder?
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence, sacred silence and sleep
Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep
Disorder, disorder, disorder

[Verse 2]
More wood for their fires, loud neighbors
Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck

[Pre-Chorus]
Eating seeds as a pastime activity
The toxicity of our city, of our city

[Chorus]
You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder, disorder?
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence, sacred silence and sleep
Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep
Disorder, disorder, disorder

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder?
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence, sacred silence and sleep
Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep
Disorder, disorder, disorder

[Outro]
When I became the sun, I shone life into the man's hearts
When I became the sun, I shone life into the man's hearts

Miley Cyrus - Party In The USA    (2009)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
I hopped off the plane at LAX
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess (Woah)
Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time
Look to my right, and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous

[Pre-Chorus]
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a JAY-Z song was on
And a JAY-Z song was on
And a JAY-Z song was on

[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
They're playin' my song, the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, "Yeah"
Movin' my hips like, "Yeah"
I got my hands up, they're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.

[Verse 2]
Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin' at me now
Like, "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks?"
"She gotta be from out of town"
So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a Nashville party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo

[Pre-Chorus]
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on

[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
They're playin' my song, the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, "Yeah"
Movin' my hips like, "Yeah"
I got my hands up, they're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.
[Bridge]
Feel like hopping on a flight (On a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (Town tonight)
Something stops me every time (Every time)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright (Hey, hey)

[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
They're playin' my song, the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, "Yeah" (N-n-n-noddin' my head)
Movin' my hips like, "Yeah" (Ooh, yeah)
I got my hands up, they're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be okay (Gonna be okay)
Yeah (Na-na, na-na), it's a party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.
So I put my hands up
They're playin' my song, the butterflies fly away (Flying away)
I'm noddin' my head like, "Yeah" (Noddin' my head like, "Yeah")
Movin' my hips like, "Yeah" (Movin' my hips like, "Yeah")
I got my hands up, they're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be okay (I'm gonna be okay)
Yeah (Yeah), it's a party in the U.S.A.
Yeah (Ha-ha-ha-ha), it's a party in the U.S.A.

Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy   (1992)

from genius.com

[Intro: Zack De La Rocha]
Huh
Yeah, we're comin' back in with another bombtrack
Think ya know it's all of that, huh
Ayo, so check this out, yeah

[Chorus: Zack De La Rocha]
Know your enemy
Come on

[Verse 1: Zack De La Rocha]
Born with insight and a raised fist
A witness to the slit wrist
As we move into '92
Still in a room without a view
Ya got to know, ya got to know
That when I say go, go, go
Amp up and amplify, defy
I'm a brother with a furious mind
Action must be taken
We don't need the key, we'll break in
Something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Fist in ya face in the place and I'll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy

[Chorus: Zack De La Rocha]
Know your enemy
Yeah
Ayo, get with this, ugh

[Verse 2: Zack De La Rocha]
Word is born
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence
With the D, the E, the F, the I, the A, the N, the C, the E
Mind of a revolutionary, so clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The "land of the free"?
Whoever told you that is your enemy
Now something must be done
About vengeance, a badge, and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Now action must be taken
We don't need the key, we'll break in

[Bridge: Maynard James Keenan]
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of you
Time has come to pay
[Chorus: Zack De La Rocha]
Know your enemy

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro: Zack De La Rocha]
Come on
Yes, I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity
Assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy
Brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams

Leave The Pieces - The Wreckers    (2006)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go
Baby, it ain't fair you know to just keep me hangin' 'round
You say you don't wanna hurt me, don't wanna see my tears
So why are you still standing here just watching me drown?

[Chorus]
And it's alright, yeah, I'll be fine
Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go

[Verse 2]
Now you can drag out the heartache
Or baby, you could make it quick
Really get it over with and just let me move on
Don't concern yourself with this mess you've left for me
I can clean it up, you see, just as long as you're gone

[Chorus]
And it's alright, yeah, I'll be fine
Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go
See country shows near Charles Town

[Bridge]
You not making up your mind is killing me and wasting time
I need so much more than that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
And it's alright, yeah, I'll be fine
Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go

[Outro]
Leave the pieces when you go
Oh yeah
Leave the pieces when you go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Joe Walsh - No Man's Land     (2016)

[Nightcore」→ Endless War (Nathan Wagner) - (Lyrics)   (2022)

https://open.spotify.com/track/6pFG1gWHLMcVtRxt6NX4Ms

They told stories and legends of old, ever since I was young
Of protectors, our saviors, our heroes, that you have become

Said
Give your heart
And your strength
To the cause
Never break
You can be like them too
Take your gun
And you flag
Hold it strong
Take the land
We can show them the truth

What is it for?
An endless war
Just toil away
To spread our plague
Keep devastating
All in vain
What's it for?

So, they sent us away on their mission, thinking heroes we'll be
Through the smoke saw a man looked suspicious, so I put him to sleep

Oh it
Woke me up
From this daze
Killed a man
He had a name
For which sake, I don't know
Constantly
It's in my head
The memory
It never left
Can't escape, it won't go

What is it for?
An endless war
Just toil away
To spread our plague
Keep devastating
All in vain
What's it for?

I don't want to fight no more
Watch my brothers die no more
Everything feels so out of place
I don't want to cry no more
See another life get torn
Tell me what's the point of this pain
I don't want to lie no more
Just don't want to try no more
Gotta be a different way
I just can't stay quiet no more
Been twisted with my mind since birth
It's looking like we're all being played

What is it for?
Endless war
Just toil away
To spread our plague
Keep devastating
All in vain
What's it for?

Tear Away-Drowning Pool    (2002)

from genius.com

[Intro]
I'm tearing away
Pieces are falling
I can't seem to make them stay
You run away
Faster and faster
You can't seem to get away

Break!

[Verse 1]
Hope there's a reason
For questions unanswered
I just don't see everything
Yes, I'm inside you
Tell me, how does it feel
To feel like this just like I do?

[Chorus]
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone

[Verse 2]
Do I really want this?
Sometimes, I scare myself
I just can't let it go
Can you believe it?
Everything happens for
Reasons I just don't know
See rock shows near Washington D.C.

[Chorus]
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone or anything but me

[Guitar Solo]
Goddamn, I love me

[Chorus]
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone or anything

[Outro]
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
