Yuppers. Black Balloon is one of my favorite singles by them. A Boy Named Goo, Dizzy Up The Girl and Gutterflower are great albums I not only enjoy but have the pleasure to own. I have all their songs on repeat sometimes. Their music has a lot of content and meaning reason why I listen to'em. Was a big fan since the mid 90s and they're making a slow come back. Go Goo Goo Dolls!

This song is of the hook

 

Se väst hyckleri dom stöder demokrati/

men vägrar erkänna ett folkvalt parti/

Med andra ord är palestinas vilja inte fri/

tredje världen den förblir en förslavad koloni/

En slav ekonomi under västerländskt regi/

med sålda diktatorer som alltid får amnesti/

Medan äkta frihetskämpar som strider placeras i/

en terrorkategori hur vriden kan världen bli/

När värdet på våra liv/

värderas efter den delen i världen du föds i/

I den tredje är du körd Palestina är du död/

redan i din modersmage innan ens du blivit född/

Så FN var är dom var är alla trupper som/

försvarar freden i världen empatin var fan är den/

när palestiniernas städer blir koncentrationsläger/

och gravarna som dom gräver är fler för barn än för fäder/

 

reff:

 

Vem e terrorist?

Är det dom som förtrycker eller är det dom som förtrycks?

Vem e terrorist?

Är det han som tittar på eller han som vägrar va tyst?

Vem e terrorist?

Bror låt inte media manipulera dig med sitt gift!

 

Den största terroristen mannen e han i kostym/

Som sitter bakom sitt skrivbord och bombar sönder en by/

Han bombar och skiter för eliten aldrig blir/

Beskjuten ute på fälten och söndermejad med bly/

Istället lurar dom i vanligt folk att det är vi/

Som är hären som ska befria världen från tyranni/

Men det är inte det vi gör när vi dödar och förstör/

När vi rövar och förgör det vi gör är vi dör/

För att stjäla kapital åt dom som redan har/

Så pass på deras tal låt dom skicka sina barn/

Bror jag vägrar dö för opium nere i afganistan/

Politiker måste skoja när dom snackar om moral/

Dessa ******* hycklare har inte något samvetskval/

Dom vill bara ha betalt hyckla till sig nästa val/

Kalla mig för radikal hellre det än liberal/

Som Carl gömmer sig bakom sina falska ideal/

 

 

Fred till pirater som kapar och tar betalt/

Av gamar i deras hav som gapar och äter av/

Det som folket borde ha forsätt göra det ni ska/

Haffa era cash tvinga tjuvarna att dra/

Även i vårt land så vill han vi ska jobba åt Han/

Förut på plantage nu i fabriker med plåtband/

Så kan någon klaga på Mugabe/

Som jaga kolonisatörerna ut ur Zimbabwe/

Mandela gjorde en tabbe lät dom stanna kvar/

Nu är det samma folk som har och inte har/

För var du än är finns det guld är dom där/

Lurar fattiga till skuld och håller dom i misär/

Först med allmosor och i andra han gevär/

Den första är falldosen sedan säljer du din själ/

Det är så det är och dom som kämpar emot/

Stämplas som terrorister och målas upp som ett hot/

 

Brygga:

 

Svart man, vit man ställ dig upp och stig fram/

Låt oss ta tillbaka våran jord tillsammans vi kan/

Gul man, brun man skrik om du är lack fan/

Låt det eka världen runt så vi kan passa facklan/

playin' the best of acid jazz!

 

Sweet anticipation at the mention of your name

A feeling that I can’t describe

When you stole into the corner of my heart you lit a flame

And there’s something in me I can’t hide

I am dreaming of the joy you brought to me, yeah

Ooh, and I believe

That you are my destiny

Sweet as fantasy

 

Love will keep us together – nothing else could tear us apart

And I will never leave you – I’ll always keep you with my heart

 

Every move you make and all the things you say and do

May make the right connections in my mind

Got a little piece of heaven and it’s all wrapped up for you

I am so glad that you’re mine

Ooh, I’m still dreaming of the joy you bring me

Ooh, and I believe

That you are my destiny

Sweet as fantasy

 

Love will keep us together – nothing else could tear us apart

And I will never leave you – I’ll always keep you with my heart

 

I will be in your heart – you will be in mine

We’ll be together – ‘til the end of time

 

Really love this song, reminds me with a lot of love I’ve ever received. Missing those times. I wish I could go back to those times… Yeah… I wish I could.

Trunk air tight, speakers and them show lights

Holdin! Cops around, nigga get ya shit tight!

Lemme tell ya the meaning of coming through

When the seats off cream and the candy is dark blue (dark blue)

Approachin downtown, knockin doors down

Tint eleven slabs in a single file line

Flossin, swervin, the rims is glistening

They gotta see the wood 'cause the top is missing

I sleep on dreams 'cause it's paper I'm chasing

My roots come from Texas, this Pimpalation

The barre is tasty, the Benz is spacey

I gotta show my class so these haters can face me

Ridin up the Boulevard, crushin the sidewalk

Showin my chagrin while I'm knockin the doors off

It happened the moment

when you were revealed

'cause you were a dream

that should not have been a fantasy real

You gave me this beating baby

this ryhthm inside high

well you made me feel good

'n nice 'n feel lovely

gave me paradise

so...

 

Shouldn't I reallize

youre the highest of the high

'n if you don't know then i'll say it

so don't ever wonder

don't ever wonder (x2)

 

So tell me how long

how long it's gonna take until you speak baby

 

'cause I can't live my life

without you here by my side

 

......

 

You gave me the feelin' feelin', in my life so

 

Shouldn't I reallize

youre the highest of the high

'n if you don't know then i'll say it

so don't ever wonder

don't ever wonder (fade out)

Just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down

Sweet Mary Jane wont you lay me down

lost my heat in california

lost my mind

shot me down with a revlolver,

got me high

then a heart of gold came on the stereo

Mr Young made me cry

then all the colours of the rainbow

fell in my eyes

 

CHORUS:

I lost my mind long ago

down at yellow brick road

I lost my mind long ago

down at yellow brick road

 

VERSE 2

Took a train to the river where i dove right in

that skinny dipping girl made the blue bird sing

fell in love in california,

she blew my mind

she shot me down with her revolver

she got me high

then the weather man came on the radio

said there be sunshine

then all the colours of the rainbow

fell in my mind

 

CHORUS

I lost my mind long ago

down at yellow brick road

I lost my mind long ago

down at yellow brick road

For the eastern eyes of a life reborn

When the western skies of a broken dawn

In the first embrace of a haunted smile

With the hopeful eyes of an alien child

I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand

From the half-light to the day

I have come to find my way

I have come to find my way

 

In the burning sheets of a neighbour's pain

With the sweat of a night and the summer rain

In the cry of birth and the death of fear

For the hope of a light and the joy of tears

I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand

From the half-light to the day

I have come to find my way

I have come to find my way

 

From the tainted screen of a surgeon mind

From the tear-stained face of a haunted kind

From the shade of death and the flame of life

From the ??est blade of a surgeon's knife

I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand

From the half-light to the day

I have come to find my way

I have come to find my way

 

Eastern, eastern eyes... your eyes

For these eastern, eastern, eastern, eastern eyes

For these eastern, eastern eyes

For these eastern eyes

Eastern eyes (3x)

Eastern, eastern, eastern eyes (2x)

Eastern, eastern eyes

Lyrics to Sunset :

If I were never to leave you

If I were always alone

If I were never to see you

If I could set the sun

If I could set the sun

 

Keep movin’

Keep changin’

Keep flowin’ with the sun

Rivers rise

Oceans rise

People rise with the sun

 

If I were never to leave you

If I were always alone

If I would never to see you

If I could set the sun

If I could set the sun

 

Tears fallin’

Rain fallin’

Leaves are falling with the sun

Lives drifting

Seeds drifting

Worlds drifting with the sun

 

If I were never to leave you

If I were always alone

If I were never to see you

If I could set with the sunset, say it ...

 

If I

Never to leave here

 

If I

Always alone

If I

 

Oceans rise

Rivers rise

People rise

With the sun

 

 

Oceans rise

Rivers rise

People rise

With the sun

Little darlin' don't you see the sun is shining

just for you, only today

If you hurry you can get a ray on you, come with me, just to play

Like every humming bird and bumblebee

Every sunflower, cloud and every tree

I feel so much a part of this

Nature's got me high and it's beautiful

I'm with this deep eternal universe

From death until rebirth

 

This corner of the earth is like me in many ways

I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play

On the face of this I'm blessed

When the sunlight comes for free

I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me

So inspired of that there's nothing left to do or say

Think I'll dream, 'til the stars shine

 

The wind it whispers and the clouds don't seem to care

And I know inside, that it's all mine

It's the chorus of the breakin' dawn

The mist that comes before the sun is born

To a hazy afternoon in May

Nature's got me high and it's so beautiful

I'm with this deep eternal universe from death until rebirth

 

[chorus]

You know that this corner of the earth is like me in many ways

I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play

On the face of it I'm blessed

When the sunlight comes for free

I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me x5

 

This corner of the earth, is like me in many ways

I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play

When the sunlight comes for free

I know the corner of this earth it smiles at me

Amen to all of that. I have mixed emotions about this song. I'm shocked and glad all at the same time. Shocked he had the balls to say half of the things he said and glad that he found the courage in spilling'em out. This is the definition of a real emcee.

 

 

 

It's so loud inside my head

with words that I should have said

As I drown in my regrets

I can't take back the words I never said

 

I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit

Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets

How much money does it take to really make a full clip

9/11 building seven did they really pull it?

 

And a bunch of other cover ups

Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts

If you think that hurts, then wait here comes the uppercut

The school was garbage in the first place that's on the up and up

 

 

Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the upper crust

You get it then they move it so you never keepin up enough

If you turn on TV, all you see's a bunch of what the ****s

Dude is dating so and so, blabbering about such and such

And that ain't Jersey Shore, homie that's the news

and these the same people supposedly telling us the truth

Limbaugh was a racist, Glen Beck is a racist, Ghaza strip

was gettin bombed but Obama didn't say shit

That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either

I'm a part of the problem, my problem is I'm peaceful

And I believe in the people! Yeah!

 

It's so loud inside my head

with words that I should've said

As I drown in my regrets

I can't take back

the words I never said

 

Now we can say it ain't our fault

If we never heard it

but if we know better, then we probably deserve it

Jihad is not holy war, where's that in the worship?!

Murdering is not Islam and you are not observant

And you are not a Muslim

Israel don't take my side cuz look how far you've pushed em

Walk with me into the ghetto, this is where all the kush went

Complain about the liquor store, well whatchu drinkin liquor for?

Complain about the gloom but when'd you pick a broom up?

Just listenin to Pac ain't gonna make it stop

A rebel in your thoughts ain't gonna make it whole

If you don't become an actor, you'll never be a factor.

Pills with a million side effects, take em when the pain's felt

Wash em down with Diet soda, killin off your brain cells

Crooked banks around the world will gladly give a loan today

so If you ever miss a payment, they can take your home away.

 

 

It's so loud inside my head

with words that I should've said

As I drown in my regrets

I can't take back

the words I never said

 

I think that all the silence is worse than all violence

Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it

We're scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth

So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even telling you

Sometimes I'm like the only person I feel safe to tell it to

I'm locked inside a cell in me, I know that there's a jail in you

Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath inhale a few

My screams is finally gettin free, my thoughts is finally yellin through!

 

It's so loud inside my head

with words that I should've sad

As I drown in my regrets

I can't take back

the words I never said
