    No real reason for posting this, i just always liked it for its simplicity. if anyone can give the band and song title, I will be impressed. Just some excerpts:

    Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
    I am he and she is she but you’re the only you
    No one else has got your eyes, can see the things you see
    It’s up to you to change your life and my life’s up to me
    The problems that you suffer from are problems that you make
    The s**t we have to climb through is the s**t we choose to take
    If you don’t like the life you live, change it now it’s yours
    Nothing has effect if you don’t recognise the cause
    If the programme’s not the one you want, get up, turn off the set
    It’s only you that can decide what life you’re gonna get
    ...
    If you don’t like the rules they make, refuse to play their game
    If you don’t want to be a number, don’t give them your name
    If you don’t want to be caught out, refuse to hear their question
    Silence is a virtue, use it for your own protection
    They’ll try to make you play their game, refuse to show your face
    Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
    I am he and she is she but you’re the only you


    Any others?

    The Marine Corps recruitment song.

    It ends:

    I'm proud to be an Amer----i---can.
    Where at least I know I'm free.

    Rhyme-a-dime time! Rhyme all of the tiiiiiiiimmme.

    I have some different wisdom through song. It goes like this:

    You didn't have to love me
    But you did but you did but you did
    unnnhhh
    And I thank you
    You didn't have to squeeze me
    But you did but you did but you did
    unnnhhh
    And I thank you

    Now that's some wisdom! [​IMG]

    That question is irrelevant. Your first post requires you to be impressed by me.

    I am always impressed by you, but I meant if anyone knew who that was...

    I'll still give you a "wow" because you were able to find it so fast. [​IMG]

    It's an old Sam & Dave song that ZZ Top covered a few years ago.

    This might be a little more difficult.

    SING A SONG OF VIOLENCE
    AND LISTEN FOR THE SOUND
    OF ALL THE LITTLE SOLDIERS
    START TO COME AROUND

    START IT WITH A RUMOUR
    A WHISPER IN AN EAR
    SUSPICION DONT TAKE VERY
    LONG BEFORE IT TURNS TO FEAR

    THEY DONT NEED A REASON
    THEY DONT WANNA KNOW
    WHAT THEIR FIGHTING
    JUST TELL THEM WHERE TO GO

    GIVE THE CHANCE A GLORY
    GIVE THE CHANCE A FAME
    GIVE THE BOY AN ENEMY
    GIVE THE DOG A NAME

    KEEP THE FACTIONS FIGHTING
    START THEM OFF AT SCHOOL
    KEEP THE FACTIONS FIGHTING
    SO YOU DIVIDE AND RULE

    FOOTBALL TEAMS ARE SPLENDID
    AND FASHION JUST A TOOL
    KEEP THE FACTIONS FIGHTING
    SO YOU DIVIDE AND RULE

    FEAR CAN BE A BUM THING
    A SILLY AND A DUMB THING
    FEAR CAN BE THE ONE THING
    THAT KEEPS US IN THE DARK

    FRIGHTENED OF THE HUMANS
    FRIGHTENED OF THEIR STARES
    FRIGHTENED OF THE POISONS
    THEY PUMP INTO THE AIR
    FRIGHTENED OF THE CHEMICALS
    THEY SPRAY UPON THE LAND
    FRIGHTENED OF THE POWER
    THEY HOLD WITHIN THEIR HANDS
    FRIGHTENED OF THE BUEROCRACY
    FRIGHTENED OF THE LAW
    FRIGHTENED OF THE GOVERNMENT
    AND WHO THEYRE WORKING FOR
    FRIGHTENED OF THE CHILDREN
    WHO WONT KNOW HOW TO COPE
    WITH A WORLD IN RACK AND RUIN FROM THEIR TECHNOCRATIC DOPE

    Who's Got the Herb
    2 for 1, 5 for 4, half ounces
    Quarter pounds, LB's and kilos
    What are we looking for
    Sinsemilla
    What are we hoping for
    What are we hoping for
    Sinsemilla
    Who's got the herb is what the young boys ask me
    Who's got the herb and then elders tell me
    Who's got the herb is what the young girls ask me
    Whos' got the herb not thee dread-locks
    Skunk, bud, indica
    Sativa, my reefer, la arriba
    Skunk, bud, indica
    Sativa, my reefer, la arriba
    When we roll a big one
    it feels so right
    When we smoke it in our bong
    it feels so nice
    Whos' got the herb is what the young boys ask me
    Who's got the herb and then the elders tell me
    Who's got the herb is what the young girls ask me
    Who's get the herb not thee dread-locks
    Who's got the herb
    Who's got the herb
    Who's got the herb
    Who's got the herb What I'm talkin' 'bout
    Cramacaca cayaca die shocka fryaca
    From a coppa yes I'm tellin' you
    Cramacaca cayaca die shocka fryaca
    From a coppa
    What are we looking for
    Sinsemilla
    What are we hoping for
    Sinsemilla
    Here we go!
    Skunk, bud, indica
    Sativa, my reefer, my reefer
    Who's got it Who's got the herb
    Who's got it Who's got the herb
    311 whoa Who's got the herb

    311's got the herb and you can't avoid that
    and ya do want your hands with a fat blunt sack
    chill with indica and guiness, steer clear of white powder
    kick it you sing it in a space, go out to play it louder

    Plague my brain with no cocaine
    I don't wanna, I don't wanna go insane

    Roll up the bones if you can affix a word to smoke it
    except for you're doomed in the morning if you bake the hills
    Oh and I get up to the sun and then I smoke out
    It's begining to smell like Mota and I'm down with no doubt, sing

    Plague my brain with no cocaine
    I don't wanna, I don't wanna go insane

    If you want to harm the
    world then you can stop the
    herb and you can use the
    serve and use the warrant.

    Several beers to anyone who knows this...and you all are missing something, as It's the best rock song of the last few years!!!!

    Whatever you want, whatever makes you happy
    You can’t ruffle any feathers,
    don’t forget to stir the gravy
    Well Even though our youth, it’s all part of the procreation
    You try to hide the truth, with your procrastination
    But Individuality, thrives on the carnage
    Suiciety, never reaps the harvest

    The times and the place, keep on moving on like the ocean
    So wipe that fuc#en stupid look off your face
    Cause it's just like I imagined
    Everything I do, just adds to your dissatisfaction
    You look at my ideals, to hide your morbid fascination

    But Individuality, thrives on the carnage
    And that suicide, suiciety, it never reaps any harvest
    Individuality, thrives on the carnage
    And that suiciety, it’s never gonna reap any harvest
    Well that Individuality, thrives on your carnage
    And that suicide - suicide - suiciety, it’s never gonna reap any harvest
