[QUOTE="Evil Monkey, post: 3535679, member: 35447"] There are way too many songs that strike such a chord in me to post a complete list, and a vast majority of them would probably come too close to violating the 'no politics, no religion' rules if I were to post the lyrics. There are a couple, however, that fit me to a T and do not break that rule, and here they are. [B]My Own Way[/B] - [I]Pennywise[/I] From the album [B]Straight Ahead[/B]. I got my way of life And I won't back down or apologize For things I cannot change Guess I gotta do things my own way And I don't even care If you got a problem with who I am Cuz I don't give a *bleep* You wanna change me, you're out of luck. [chorus] I don't know if I Might never ever change And I don't think that I Would want to anyway And I don't care if I Never live to see the day We can compromise I'm doing things my own way [/chorus] It's so hard to believe That we could see the world so differently And we don't realize Cuz we can't see the world through each other's eyes We'll never understand And I don't think that anybody can I won't change anyway Guess we're both just stubborn, stuck in our ways [chorus] I don't care if you Never see the world like I do [repeat x3] [B]Who Will Help Me Break This Bread?[/B] - [I]Propagandhi[/I] From the album [B]How To Clean Everything[/B]. I speak my mind, I question theirs It seems to me like no one really cares Peripherally blind, intellectually numb Ignorant by choice? Or just plain *bleep*ing dumb? You're threatened by my mind You want everything the same But my questions still remain You boycott your brain You answer with fists But my questions still persist You can rearrange my face But you can't rearrange my mind You can beat this shell about me But you can't touch what's inside So now who will help me bake this bread? Who will be the first to speak and leave complacency for dead? I've done all that I can on my own But stagnant minds persist To squeeze blood from this stone but I won't bleed for you I have no need for you Bleed for you Death will be the day I concede to you Other songs that deserve mention, but which I won't post the lyrics for, include the following: [B]Jesus Christ[/B] - Pegboy [B]Don't Call Me White[/B] - NOFX [B]I Don't Wanna Die[/B] - Subhumans There are many, many more; I like music as much as I like D&D (which is to say, A LOT! :D). Even though all those songs I listed above are punk rock, I listen to just about everything (except country and 'easy listening'), but punk, ska, and industrial are my faves. And last but not least, a song that sums up just how much music means to me. I'm sure many other people will be able to relate. [B]Sound System[/B] - [I]Operation Ivy[/I] From the album [B]Energy[/B]. [chorus] Sound system gonna bring me back up (yeah) One thing that I can depend on Sound system gonna bring me back (alright) One thing that I can depend on [/chorus] Try to describe it to the limit of my ability It's there for a second, then it's given up what it used to be Contained in music, somehow more than just sound This inspiration coming and twisting things around Because you always know that it's gonna have to go You always know that you'll be back in the cold Point of departure sublimated in a song It's always coming to give me that hope for just a second then it's gone but [chorus] Static pulse inside of music bringing us escape It's always temporary, changing nothing in it's wake Just a second where we're leaving all this *bleep* behind Just a second but it's leaving just this much in mind To resist despair that second makes you see To resist despair cuz you can't change everything To resist despair in this world is What it is, what it is, what it is to be free [chorus] Wake up, turn my box on Bust the shades, let the sun in Times' gettin' tough Bout time to start running Box in my hand, music by my side Skankin' to the rhythm of the music by my side [chorus] [/QUOTE]
