Alanis Morissette - Citizen Of The Planet

I start up in the north I grow from special seed
I sprinkle it with sensibility
from French and Hungarian snow
I linger in the sprouting until my engine’s full

Then I move across the sea
To European bliss
To language of poets
As I cut the cord of home
I kiss my mother’s mother
look to the horizon

wide eyed, new ground
humbled by my new surroundings

I am a citizen of the planet
My president is kwan yin
My frontier is on an airplane
My prisons homes for rehabilitating

Then I fly back to my nest, I fly back with my nuclear but everything is different
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened, patriotism expanded by callings from beyond
So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred

I am a citizen of the planet
My laws are all of attraction
My punishments are consequences
Separating from source the original sin

I am a citizen of the planet
democracy’s kids are sovereign
Where the teachers are the sages
And pedestals fill with every parent

And so, the next few years are blurry, the next decade’s a flurry of smells and tastes unknown
Threads sewn straight through this fabric through fields of every color one culture to another

I come alive and I get giddy I am taken and globally naturalized
I am a citizen of the planet
From simple roots through high vision
I am guarded by the angels
My body guides the direction I go in

I am a citizen of the planet
My favorite pastime edge stretching
Besotten with human condition
These ideals are borne from my deepest within

Avril Lavigne - Skater Boy

He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?

He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?

He wanted her, she’d never tell
Secretly she wanted I’m as well

But all of her friends stuck up there nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes.

He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
He wasn’t good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth.

Alicia Keys - Teenage Love Affair

Baby dial your number
Can you pick up the phone
Cause I wanna holla
Daydreamin about you all day in school cant concentrate
Wanna have your voice in my ear till mama come and say its too late
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause I just don’t want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don’t really care what nobody tell me
I’m gonna be here
Its a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair

Amy Winehouse - You Know I’m No Good

Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt,
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull t-shirt,
You say “what did you do with him today?”,
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray,
’Cause you’re my fella, my guy,
Hand me your stella and fly,
By the time I’m out the door,
You tear men down like Roger Moore,

I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would,
I told you I was trouble,
You know that I’m no good,

Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy,
He’s in a place, but I can’t get joy,
Thinking on you in the final throes,
This is when my buzzer goes,
Run out to meet you, chips and pitta,
You say “when we married”,
’cause you’re not bitter,
”There’ll be none of him no more,”
I cried for you on the kitchen floor,

Ah, ah ah
You’re so good to me baby, baby

I wanna lock you up in my closet when no one’s around
I wanna put your hand in my pocket because you’re allowed
I wanna drive you into the corner and kiss you without a sound
I wanna stay this way forever I’ll say it loud

Now you’re in, and you can’t get out

[Chorus]
You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
It’s so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You’re so fabulous
You’re so good to me baby, baby
You’re so good to me baby, baby

I can make you feel all better, just take it in
And I can show you all the places you’ve never been
And I can make you say everything that you’ve never said
And I will let you do anything again and again

Now you’re in, and you can’t get out

[Chorus]

Kiss me gently
Always I know
Hold me, love me
Don’t ever go
Ooh, yeah yeah

[Chorus X2]

You’re so good

Where does it hurt
Tell me ’cause I understand the words of a heart
Beating like winds in my hand
We can hide
We’ll never lie
I’ll always see into you

There’s nothing wrong with coming up empty and cold
Staying too long and try to change rocks into gold

I’ve been there too
I’ve wasted myself
And you were there for me
So whenever you crash, where ever you lay, that’s where I’ll be

And for ever endless midnight, there’s a sky for a broken star
And there’ll always be a place for you, inside my arms

Where does it hurt
When you open your heart theres always so much to lose
So far to fall and no where to go when it’s true

But if you let me in, I won’t let you down. Put your faith in me

’Cause whenever you crash, where ever you lay, that’s where I’ll be
And for ever endless midnight, there’s a sky for a broken star
And there’ll always be a place for you, inside my arms
And there’s a million streets to walk down, in this city of broken hearts
But there’ll always be a place for you, inside my arms
Where does it hurt. [2x]

And for ever endless midnight, there’s a sky for a broken star
And there’ll always be a place for you, inside my arms
And there’s a million streets to walk down, in this city of broken hearts
But there’ll always be a place for you, inside my arms
Where does it hurt. [3x]

Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
For me to take what’s mine, until the end of time?
We were more than friends, before the story ends,
And I will take what’s mine, create what
God would never design

Our love had been so strong for far too long,
I was weak with fear that
Something would go wrong,
Before the possibilities came true,
I took all possibility from you
Almost laughed myself to tears,
Conjuring her deepest fears

Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times,
I can’t believe it,
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes,
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it

She was never this good in bed
Even when she was sleepin’
Now she’s just so perfect I’ve
Never been quite so fucking deep in
It goes on, and on, and on,
I can keep you lookin’ young and preserved forever,
With a fountain to spray on your youth whenever

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold that’s why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it’s not your time
But bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it’s over but it’s just begun
But baby don’t cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody’s gotta die sometime, we fell apart
Let’s make a new start
’Cause everybody’s gotta die sometime yeah
But baby don’t cry

Now possibilities I’d never considered,
Are occurring the likes of which I’d never heard,
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave,
To repossess a body with which I’d misbehaved

Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears

Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times
I can’t believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Eyes over easy
Eat it, eat it, eat it

Now that it’s done I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave

I gotta make up for what I’ve done
’Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
While you burned in hell, no peace forever

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold that’s why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it’s not your time
But bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it’s over but it’s just begun
But baby don’t cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody’s gotta die sometime, we fell apart
Let’s make a new start
’Cause everybody’s gotta die sometime yeah
But baby don’t cry

I will suffer for so long
(What will you do, not long enough)
To make it up to you
(I pray to God that you do)
I’ll do whatever you want me to do
(Well then I’ll grant you one chance)
And if it’s not enough
(If it’s not enough, If it’s not enough)
If it’s not enough
(Not enough)
Try again
(Try again)
And again
(And again)
Over and over again

We’re coming back, coming back
We’ll live forever, live forever
Let’s have wedding, have a wedding
Let’s start the killing, start the killing

Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
(Yes, I do.)
Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
(I do)
I now pronounce you…

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold that’s why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it’s not your time
But bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it’s over but it’s just begun
But baby don’t cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody’s gotta die sometime, we fell apart
Let’s make a new start
’Cause everybody’s gotta die sometime yeah
But baby don’t cry

You’re indecisive when it comes to making any plans
you’re on the fence
you give me reasons I never seem to understand,
they don’t make sense
maybe ain’t enough for my heart
we’ll see, ain’t off to a great start
baby, I want you to be mine,
you better hurry ‘cause if I change my mind

[Chorus]
You will never know,
what it means, to love me
and you will never know,
what these two lips taste like to kiss
you can just suppose to what my body feels like to hold
hope you can deal with, all you will never know

I wanna know you, what’s hiding behind this wall
who you really are
I wanna meet you on the other side of this charade
wherever the cards may fall
I’m ready to give you my heart
yea I’m willing to show up for my part
baby, I want you to be mine,
you better hurry ‘cause if I change my mind

[Chorus/bridge]
You will never know,
what it means, to love me
and you will never know,
what these two lips taste like to kiss
you can just suppose to what my body feels like to hold
hope you can deal with, all you will never know
about me, what I see, what I believe in,
how I breathe, when I weep

[Chorus]

Don’t want to be an American Idiot,
Don’t want a nation under the new media,
Can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America

Welcome to a new kind of tension,
All across the alienation,
where everything isn’t meant to be ok,
Television dreams of tomorrow,
We’re not the ones meant to follow,
For that’s enough to argue

well Maybe I am the faggot America,
I’m not a part of a redneck agenda,
Now everybody do the propaganda!
And sing along to the age of paranoia

Don’t want to be an American Idiot,
One nation controlled by the media,
Information age of hysteria
is Calling out to idiot America
