I've been listening to a lot of music lately, I love to make playlists. I'll call it my top ten of the week.
1. Captain Kelly's Kitchen- Dropkick Murphys
2. Paralyzed- The Used
3. Honor among Thieves- Suicide Machines
4. Misery Business- Paramore
5. Buzz Kill- Sage Francis
6. I'm the one- Descendents
7. Let them Eat War- Bad Religion
8. Devil in a Midnight Mass- Billy Talent
9. Lean On Sheena- The Bouncing Souls
10. Fight to Live- The Bouncing Souls.
There. I feel better. I actually like a rap song for once, the lyrics just make sense to me. It's "Buzz Kill" by Sage Francis. I don't know if what he writes could be considered beat poetry, but the lyrics are amazing. He actually helped co-write "let them eat war" with Greg Gaffin.
It's not only a time I'm kept
Busy with shivers and cold shakes
Sitting on snow banks
Waiting to be delivered some soulmates
Or wait
Lift and tuck my fate for several levels
Fill my body till they send me an empty face with the head of devils
My breath resembles the smell of flowers
Yanked from life and placed in a vase
Sits and wilts and rots and dies in the name of grave mistakes
That we all make
Believe that we're getting by treating ourselves wrong
and...
This is the buzz kill, jump into the saddle
Emerge from the dust kicked up in the uphill battle
With my guns drawn and sword out
Pointed towards the couthouse
I sort out words from my war torn mouth
I disassociate the actions with their meanings
On some "ends justify the means" mentality
and...
Color me confused when they paint issues black and white
Resuscitate their grey matter right back to life
It's my destiny, she wants me she beckons
She left me for dead but death didnt want no sloppy seconds
I'm certified fresh
Our freedom kiss the French for their political dissent
Like *mwah* I do it with tongue this time
And take that bovine blood out of your wine
And take that statue back to the land it was created at
Your huddled masses yearning to breath free
Take 'em back!
Your homeless tempest-tossed to me
Take 'em back!
The U-S-A has cracked...
It isn't exactly amazing, but I like it. It's better than "Grillz." Hah. The exam stuff, "You only get it right if you spell Grills with a z!"
