What do you think??

This is by Midnight Oil.
Its called When The Generals Talk.......

Up there on the platform
He is speaking to the people
The people are responding
With clapping and a cheering
But the meaning of the message
Not revealed to those assembled
They're taken for a ride
Taken in his stride

When the generals talk
You better listen to him
When the generals talk
You better do what he say

There's a rumour in the ranking
Someone talking insurrection
So the general has a purge
'Cos he wants to win elections
With the certain satisfaction
That the people are appeased
Long live the revolution
The general's very pleased

Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground
The fat cat's still push the thin cats around

I think you are skating on very thin ice...but skate away, it's always fun to watch when they fall.


Ever heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Oooh! Are we posting songs we like?
This exerpt's from a song called 'Gotta Get Away', it's by The Offspring.

"I?m getting edgy all the time
There?s someone around me just a step behind
It?s kinda scary, the shape I?m in
The walls are shakin? and they?re closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
I?m paranoid of people and it?s starting to show
There?s one guy that I can?t shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There?s demons in my head
And it?s more than I can take.....

.....I tell you something just ain?t right
My head is on loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends cause they all bug
Life is a riddle and I?m really stumped
If you reason, don?t you know
Your own preoccupation is where you?ll go
I think I?m being followed, I look around
It?s only my shadow creepin? on the ground"
:wink:

Then there's the other point of view!

"Gimme one good reason why I should listen to you
I need one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Gimme some air or I can't breathe
I can't see so I can't believe
Show me just a little more
Oh oh gimme one

Gimme one good reason why I should listen to you
I need one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Under your thumb ain't no place to hide
I can't choose and I can't decide
Gotta be a better way
Oh oh gimme one

I keep making the same mistake
No win no lose no give and no take
I'm just playing a simple game
And I don't wanna ask you again and again

For one good reason why I should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Under your spell ain't no place to be
Don't mess around with a fool like me
Help me just a little more
Oh oh gimme one, gimme one

Well I keep making the same mistake
No win no lose no give and no take
And I'm just playing a simple game
And I don't wanna ask you again and again

For one good reason why I should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Pull on the string you hold in your hand
Making me jump like a one man band
Gotta be a better way
Oh oh gimme one"

Who sings that?? The lyrics seem familiar but I can't place it.

It's A Mistake
Men At Work

Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin' up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time?
If it is can we all come

Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow
It's no use after crying
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

After the laughter as died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
They've got the bad guys on the run

Don't try to say you're sorry
Don't say he drew his gun
They've gone and grabbed old SLATEY
He's not the only one saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

Tell us commander, what do you think?
'Cos we know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
We wish you'd all throw in the towel

We'll not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistle your favourite tune
We'll send a card and flower
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

:lol: <------

 

[instar]

some of this one from my POV :lol:

I only like dreaming
All the day long
Where no one is screaming

Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good be good (Johnny)
Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
be good be good be good
be good be good be good
be good be good be good
Johnny!
