Rise Up With Fists

What are you changing?

Who do you think you're changing?

You can't change things, we're all stuck in our ways

It's like trying to clean the ocean

What do you think you can drain it?

Well it was poison and dry long before you came

But you can wake up younger under the knife

And you can wake up sounder if you get analyzed

And I better wake up

There before the grace of God go hide!

It's hard to believe your profits

When they're asking you to change things

But with their suspect lives we look the other way

Are you really that pure, Sir?

Thought I saw you in Vegas

It was not pretty, but she was

But she will wake up wealthy

And you will wake up

45 And she will wake up with babies

There before the grace of God go hide!

What am I fighting for?

The cops are at the front door I can't escape that way, the windows are in flames

And what's that on your ankle?

You say they're not coming for you

But house arrest is really just the same

Like when you wake up behind the bar

Trying to remember where you are

Having crushed all the pretty things

There before the grace of God go hide!

But I still believe

And I will rise up with fists

And I will take what's mine mine mine

There before the grace of God go hide!

There before the grace of God go hide!

There before the grace of God go hide!

There before the grace of God go hide!
(Jenny Lewis Rise Up With Fists Lyrics)

Haig

"Good-morning; good-morning!" the General said

When we met him last week on our way to the line.

Now the soldiers he smiled at are most of ’em dead,

And we’re cursing his staff for incompetent swine.

"He’s a cheery old card," grunted Harry to Jack

As they slogged up to Arras with rifle and pack.
But he did for them both by his plan of attack.

Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

(Stand, REM, Around The Sun 2004)

Wild Wild Life

- Here on this mountaintop - Woahoho - I got some wild, wild life -

- I got some news to tell ya - Woahoho -

- About some wild, wild life -

- Here comes the doctor in charge - Woahoho -

- She's got some wild, wild life - Ain't that the way you like it? -

- Ho, ha! - Living wild, wild life -

(Talking Heads, Once in a Lifetime, 1984)
