Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

—John Lennon

what he said too

Here, here!

And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up. Keep Ya Head Up - Tupac

I was lookin for a father he was gone
I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
I moved out and started really hangin
I needed money of my own so I started slangin
I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
It feels good puttin money in your mailbox. Dear Mama - Tupac

life as a baller
alchol and booty calls
we usta do them as adolecents
do you recall?
raised as G's
loc'ed out and blazed the weed
get on tha roof
let's get smoked out
and blaze with me
2 in tha morning
and we still high assed out
screamin' 'thug till I die'
before I passed out. Life Goes On - Tupac

And in my mind I'ma blind man doin time
Look to my future cause my past, is all behind me
Is it a crime, to fight, for what is mine?
Everybody's dyin tell me what's the use of tryin
I've been Trapped since birth, cautious, cause I'm cursed
And fantasies of my family, in a hearse
And they say it's the white man I should fear
But, it's my own kind doin all the killin here
I can't lie, ain't no love for the other side
Jealousy inside, make em wish I died. Only God Can Judge Me - Tupac

I was raised by thugs, schooled by killers
Learned my mathematic skills from real drug dealers. Fuckin Wit The Wrong Nigga - Tupac

A picture of perfection, the object of a nigga affection
Partners in passionate sex, a place to put my erection
Fantasies of you in submission, freaky positions
Pushin permanent twistin I'm on a mission got me on the mash
Tried to dig, you was screamin when I did
Steady yellin out spots for me to hit, and aww shit. Fair Xchange - Tupac

A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind
So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times
I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried
But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes
No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
Picture me inside the misery of poverty
No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived
Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on
Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on. Thugz Mansion - Tupac

I hate this song with it's candy apple oversentimentality, it's maybe a good idea at first sight but the reality is that variety is the spice of life and if we all thought the same and we all behaved the same I would probably be so bored I would put a bullet through my head.People like Lennon are hypocrites preaching the humble life whilst residing in luxury.

If I'm too rough, tell me
I'm so scared your little head will come off in my hands ~ Alice Cooper

And I laugh to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies ~ Alice Cooper


Just tried to have fun
Raised Hell and then store
I'm a dirt talking , beer drinking woman chasing minister's son
Slap on the make-up
And blast out the music
Wake up the neighborns with a roal like a teenage heavy metal elephant gun
If you call that guilty then that's what I am ~ Alice Cooper ( There's a pattern forming here :D )

And one last one.

You better ask my momma how to make a monster. ~ The Cramps:thumbsup: :cool: :D

You're reading too far into the man. Look at the lyrics, it's an anti-war and anti-hate message. It doesn't say everyone should be the exact same. And the world will live as one? It's about peace, not uniformity.

It reminds me of greyness, no progress is ever made in a stagnant world and the unfortunate truth is that adversity is what drives the human animal to invent ever more ways to ease the existence of people on this planet.
Another truth of the matter is the fact that disease is a natural phenomenon
and old age and death and sadness.
Without dark there can be no light.

Umm, where does it say everybody should think the same? Quite the contrary, he imagines a world without religion, materialism and patriotism, all things which try to get large groups to think in the same way.

Maybe so, but I still agree with the basic idea behind the song. There just aren't very many musicians trying to spread real messages that get at the root of society's problems. Most songs I hear on the radio are just mindless blather about "oh baby I want you girl why did you break my heart". And when some musician does try to get a message out there and make a change, they too often couch a poor understanding of the problem in lyrics which make you wonder if the song has any meaning at all. There just seems to be a complete absence of any intelligent thought or social analysis in modern popular music. To illustrate, here are the lyrics of the top 3 songs on the current Billboard charts:

Quote:

Mmmm mmm yeah
Do do do do do do do-do
Ohh Yeah

Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
Cuz right now it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
Cuz you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
(it's ridiculous)
It's been months
And for some reason I just
(can't get over us)
And I'm stronger then this
(enough is enough)
No more walkin round
With my head down
I'm so over being blue
Cryin over you

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Gotta fix that calender I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be

That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)
Dont make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
Let it go
Turning off the radio

Cuz I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio?)

Said I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio?)

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishin you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
Why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio?)
Why can't I turn off the radio?

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

I read all those words and learned nothing new about my universe. What is the point of this music? They have absolutely nothing meaningful to say.

again, how did this come from that song?

Sadness is necessary, disease is the earth's natural process of thinning out the numbers, I get you there. You may see it and think of greatness. I see it as a world where everyone can put aside differences and live as one. The three verses are the three biggest reasons people go to war, or have any sort of problems at all. Religion, nations, and posessions. Utopia, my friend, not grey.

Sorry about that oneironaut. After I posted it showed that you had already posted.

I just sorta reinforced you point. Yeah, that's what I'll say...

I don't disagree with your thoughts on the majority of pop songs (they are mindless (but for some mildly entertaining) drivel).

I prefer music with a message wether that be global as in Billy Joels "We Didn't Start the Fire
http://www.teacheroz.com/fire.htm
Or more on a personal level such as Alice Coopers "Teenage Frankenstein".


I'm the kid on the block
With my head made of rock
And I ain't got nobody
I'm the state of the art
Got a brain a la carte
I make the babies cry

I ain't one of the crowd
I ain't one of the guys
They just avoid me
They run and they hide
Are my colors too bright
Are my eyes set too wide
I spend my whole life
Burning, turning

I'm a teenage Frankenstein
The local freak with the twisted mind
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
These ain't my hands
And these legs ain't mine
Oh no!

Got a synthetic face
Got some scars and a brace
My hands are rough and bloody
I walk into the night
Women faint at the sight
I ain't no cutie-pie

I can't walk in the day
I must walk in the night
Stay in the shadows
Stay out of the light
Are my shoulders too wide
Is my head screwed on tight
I spend my whole life
Burning, turning

I'm a teenage Frankenstein
The local freak with the twisted mind
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
These ain't my hands
And these legs ain't mine

It grew strong
And enegy has its own will
And people think they make music still
But music is there with out you or me we just manipulate
For better or worse so let it situate
I get to make records and dough
Paid out the ass hole
And still seen as another face on the totem pole
Conquer, my sponsors are monsters
And everybody thinks that I owe them one
I'm glad I love music and life
cuz it's easy to see the pain and strife and end it all tonight
-Del Tha Funkee Homosapien

All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars.
All of us do time in the gutter, dreamers turn to look at the cars.
Turn around, turn around, turn around. -Rush

Iâ??ve seen a rich man beg
Iâ??ve seen a good man sin
Iâ??ve seen a tough man cry
Iâ??ve seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
Iâ??ve seen the good side of bad
And the downside of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
And smoked the finest green
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start

The Greatest Adventure from Rankin/Bass' The Hobbit animated movie:

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
The chances the changes are all yours to make
The mould of your life is in your hands to break.

The greatest adventure is there if you're bold
Let go of the moment that life makes you hold
To measure the meaning can make you delay
It's time you stop thinkin' and wasting the day

The man who's a dreamer and never takes leave
Who thinks of a world that is just make-believe
Will never know passion; will never know pain
Who sits by the window will one day see rain.

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
The chances the changes are all yours to make
The mould of your life is in your hands to break.

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.

Then she reminds me time and again, lol!

I had to add that...

Your mother came up to me,
She wanted answers only she should know,
Only she should know.
It wasn't easy to deal with the tears that rolled down her face.
I had no answers 'cause I didn't even know you.

But these words
They can't replace,
The life you,
The life you waste.

How could you paint this picture?
Was life as bad as it should seem, that there were no more options for you?
I can't explain how I feel.
I've been there many times before.
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me.

But these words
They can't replace,
The life you,
The life you waste.

Did daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?

Well fuck them,
and fuck her,
and fuck him,
and fuck you,
for not having the strength in your heart to pull through.
I've had doubts,
I have failed,
I've fucked up,
I've had plans,
Doesn't mean I should take my life with my own hands.

But these words
They can't replace,
The life you,
The life you waste
But these words
They don't replace,
The life you,
The life you waste.

Waste by Staind, if u can't tell it's a song that the lead singer wrote when a woman came up to him after a gig and asked why her son killed himself through listening to their music (amongst other bands too).

just look at my sig.


and the lyrics to Cradle Of Filths "suicide and other comforts"
