Me llaman calle

(by Manu Chao)

Me llaman calle, pisando baldosas,
la revoltosa y tan perdida.
Me llaman calle,
calle de noche, calle de día.
Me llaman calle,
hoy tan cansada, hoy tan vacía,
como maquinita por la gran ciudad.

Me llaman calle, me subo a tu coche,
me llaman calle de malegría.
calle dolida, calle cansada de tanto amar.

Voy calle abajo, voy calle arriba,
no me rebajo ni por la vida.
Me llaman calle y ese es mi orgullo,
yo sé que un día llegará,
yo sé que un día vendrá mi suerte,
un día me vendrá a buscar
a la salida un hombre bueno
pa to la vida y sin pagar
mi corazón no es de alquilar.

Me llaman calle, me llaman calle
calle sufrida, calle tristeza de tanto amar.
Me llaman calle, calle más calle.

Me llaman calle siempre atrevida
me llaman calle de esquina a esquina.
Me llaman calle, bala perdida
asi me disparó la vida.
Me llaman calle del desengaño
calle fracaso, calle perdida.

Me llaman calle, vas sin futuro
Me llaman calle, va sin salida
Me llaman calle, calle más calle
la que mujeres de la vida
suben pa bajo, bajan pa arriba
como maquinita por la gran ciudad.

Me llaman calle, me llaman calle
calle sufrida, calle tristeza de tanto amar
Me llaman calle, calle más calle.

Me llaman siempre y a cualquier hora,
me llaman guapa siempre a deshora,
me llaman puta también princesa
me llaman calle sin nobleza.
Me llaman calle, calle sufrida,
calle perdida de tanto amar.

Me llaman calle, me llaman calle
calle sufrida, calle tristeza de tanto amar.

Leaving Jesusland

(by NoFX)

We call the heartland not very smartland,
IQ's are very low but threat levels are high

They got a mandate, they don't want man-dates,
they got so many hates and people to despise


In the dust bowl, cerebral black hole,
the average weight is well over 200 pounds

I hate to generalize, but have you seen the thighs,
most haven't seen their genitalia in a while


Maybe that's why they're so pissed at us
They're all jealous we're having better sex

Queers, transgends, and lesbians, vegans and vegetarians
All you brownish red and yellow ones come out and join us on the coast

No longer svelte, they gotta punch new holes in the Bible belt
They've blown out the fire under the melting pot,
the red blood of America is starting to clot

No compromise, no sight thru others' eyes,
they're just flies spreading pieces of shit

You gotta emigrate, stop living in hate,
what makes this country great is dwelling on either side


They don't want visitors in Jesusland
They want life bland and canned in the fatherland

We want people with college degrees, drug use experience and STD's
People with open-minded philosophies, come hug California trees
Cultural revolution now, neo-conservatives run outta town
We're gonna burn Orange County down,
And then we're off to Riverside, Bakersfield and Fresno too,
then we're comin' after you


The fear stricken, born again Christian, they got a vision a homogenized state
Texas textbooks, Bibles, and prayer books,
They want them memorized, but don't want you to think

They don't want visitors in Jesusland
They want life bland and canned in the fatherland

Punk Rockers and emo kids, people doin' things the church forbids
Buddhists, agnostics, and atheists we're moving out of jesusland
Art students and thespians, (excluding country) all the musicians
We want all hookers and comedians, nihilists are welcome too

No longer svelte, they gotta punch new holes in the Bible belt

Mass destruction

by Faithless_
My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
he sat on my bed told me some facts, son.
I have a duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye

In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight

Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

The skin under my chin is exploding again
I'm getting stress from some other children
I'm holding it in.
We taking sides like a politician
And if I get friction, we get to fighting
I defend my dad, he's the best of all men
And whatever he's doing, he's doing the right thing
It's frightening, but it makes me mad
Why do all these people seem to hate my dad
And if that aint enough now I got these spots
I go to sleep every night with my stomach in knots
And what's more, I can hear momma next door
Explore the radio for reports of war
And all we ever seem to do
Is hide the tears
Seem like daddy been gone for years
But he was right
Now I'm geared up for the fight
And he would be proud of me
If my daddy come home tonight
Listen me calmly

Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

My story stops here, lets be clear
This scenario is happening everywhere
And you ain't going to nirvana or farvana
You're coming right back here to live out your karma
With even more drama than previously, seriously
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free
And we refuse to see
That people overseas suffer just like we
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed one the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight
There's only now, do it right.
Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight
