John Prine - Paradise

When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Prine was sooo good.

well I got my window shield so full of flags I couldn’t see

so I ran the car upside a curb, right into a tree

By the time they got the doctor down, I was already dead

I’ll never understand why the man standing at the pearly gates said

your flag decal won’t get you into heaven anymore
We’re already overcrowded from your dirty little wars

now Jesus don’t like killing no matter what the reasons for
And your flag decal won’t get you into heaven anymore

Vicarious by TOOL has never seemed so relevant to me. It's a downer but a pretty real look at what a society turns into without purpose.

Eye on the TV
'Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavour
It happens to be like;
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies
Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother
Holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying
Why, oh why?
'Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie
Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
The writers of stories sold
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain come down
Drawn on grave and ground
Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle
La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie
Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive.
So it is. So it's always been.
We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire
Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

Tyler Childers feathered indians or Charleston girl are both great lyrically.

Well my heart is sweating bullets
From the circles it has raced
Like a little feathered indian
Callin' out the clouds for rain
I'd go runnin' through the thicket
I'd go careless through the thorns
Just to hold her for a minute
Though it'd leave me wanting more
My buckle made impressions on the inside of her thigh
There are little feathered indians where we tussled through the night

Sound of a Million Dreams - David Nail


"My 18th summer I was a cocky up and come'er
Crankin' up "Born To Run"
Turn left out the drive with the pistons open wide
And I came back a prodigal son
My spirit was broken, she threw the door open
I love you not I told you so"

“Ain’t found a way to kill me yet..”. The Rooster Alice In Chains.

I’ll tell you, some of their lyrics are bone chilling. One of my favorite songs is Dirt.


I want to taste dirty
a stinging pistol
In my mouth, on my tongue
I want you to scrape me from the walls
And go crazy
like you've made me


i mean that shit gets right to the core of it.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band "Ripplin Waters"

"Cut the telephone line, the story's the same"

Faces "Ooo La La"

"Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la, ooh la la la la, yeah"

Social Distortion "All the Answers"

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7
You won't see these kids in heaven
Colored hair and funny clothes
They are the menace of today
And they won't listen to what you say
But don't forget that they're your future"
