Sent a telegram today Tomorrow you'll be on your way Could be Memphis or L.A. No questions, just get out and play Wake up call to catch the plane You know you're on the road again Someone's bangin' in your head Why did you get so late to bed? Runnin' late and feelin' bad That breakfast was the worst you've had Make the gate no time to spare Before you know you're in the air 747 flies us high Much higher than we're meant to be You're six miles high but feelin' down You wish you could be on the ground Find your bags and walk for miles Customs man is waiting there Immigration cause delay You wonder if you'll ever play Limousine is standing by We get inside and drive a while FM station soundin' good And gettin' better every mile Hotel lobby looks the same With all the same old girls in town Press reception takes the day With all the same old things to say "Need your picture, smile this way, And will you tell me what you play?" So you wanna be a rock and roll star Just listen now to what i say Get yourself an electric guitar And take some time and learn how to play.... Your roadies call to say OK The sound check can get underway Sound check over, had some fun A waste of time for everyone Time has come to start the show It's boogie time for everyone Check guitars before you go CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ROCK AND ROLLAH! The lights are low, the crowd is high Much higher than their meant to be We take the stage and start to play The lights come up for all to see... Telegram - Nazareth Reply #181. Jan 24 19, 12:04 PM |

Here's a little fistful of heavy metal food for thought.... Mankind The public enemy's not the man who speaks his mind The public enemy's the man that goes and acts blind Searching for an answer that he'll never find An action from reaction and you can't make a retraction Once you've put your head out And then you're blue in the face As you try to state your case You can think with your d**k, but it can't shout Yo, I try to understand what the hell is going on I can't imagine how things ever got so far gone You separatists, say you want your own state I'll give them a state - a state of unconsciousness Retribution, no solution, constitution Discrimination, through the nation, raining hatred I yell, when there's schism you must rebel I yell, SO YOU'LL HEAR I yell, I refuse to live in your hell I am what you fear I'm the truth, I don't keep it in the family Live your life, take someone else Keep it in the family The real world's outsise your door You can't keep it in the family You've got the longest way to fall Keep it in the, keep it in the, keep it in the family Don't even try to tell me what you think is right When to you blacks are n****rs, and Jews are kikes And you expect to be taken seriously But your actions, they're more than curiously Juvenile You emulate what you hate And you don't even know why you feel this way 'Cause daddy hated this, and mommy hated that And your own ability to reason's like a tire gone flat Yo, I try to understand what the hell is going on I can't imagine how things ever got so far gone You separatists, say you want your own state I'll give them a state - a state of unconsciousness Retribution, no solution, constitution Discrimination, through the nation, raining hatred I yell, when there's schism you must rebel I yell, SO YOU'LL HEAR I yell, I refuse to live in your hell I am what you fear I'm the truth, I don't keep it in the family Live your life, take someone else Keep it in the family The real world's outside your door You can't keep it in the family You've got the longest way to fall When you keep it in the family.... Acting out of pure cold hatred 'Cause of what another's race is Color of another's face is Different and your own frustrations Taking on a violent nature Full of hate, so full of hate You'd kill a man, is that your fate Your street becomes a police state WHY THE HELL DO YOU HATE?! I'm not gonna stand for it Someone's gonna pay for it I yell, we rebel We're the truth and we won't keep it in the family Live your life, take someone else Keep it in the family The real world's outside your door You can't keep it in the family You've got the longest way to fall Keep it in the family I'm the thing that you most fear I don't keep it in the family I'm the truth you won't hear Keep it in the family The real world's outside your door You can't keep it in the family You've got the longest way to fall Keep it in the family Keep it in the Family - Anthrax Reply #182.

I like music, it makes me feel so good And all of my children are gonna like it like they should Some don't like it, yes it's true They can't do what they wanna do..... Children's Heritage - Bloodrock Check this one out sometime, Jen, and you will really see what an old hippy rock and roller I am. :-p I wrote what I feel is a pretty cool poem about the evolution of heavy metal on the first post of page 3 on my Buddy Holly blog, and these groovy cats are mentioned in the first verse. This stuff goes back to before metal even really got started. Reply #183. Jan 25 19, 12:29 PM |

Numb by Linkin Park : "I'm tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface I don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow Every step that I take is another mistake to you Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow I've become so numb, I can't feel you there Become so tired, so much more aware By becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you Can't you see that you're smothering me? Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control 'Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow Every step that I take is another mistake to you Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow And every second I waste is more than I can take! I've become so numb, I can't feel you there Become so tired, so much more aware By becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you And I know I may end up failing too But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you I've become so numb, I can't feel you there Become so tired, so much more aware By becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you I've become so numb, I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be I've become so numb, I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be" Reply #185.

It's easy to take everyday things for granted, isn't it? Like having shelter for example. Something every human being deserves to have at the very least. A lot of people give their money to politicians and lobbyists. That's all fine and having the freedom to do so is part of what makes America a great nation, but there are those who need our money a lot more. Close your eyes to the horror Close your eyes to the pain When you live in a box No one knows your name Living in the street Moms and kids with nothing to eat Welfare hotels Who says there's no place called hell? I can't see you I can't hear you You don't see me You couldn't be me Who cares wins There but for the grace of God There but for the grace of God Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares There but for the grace of God There but for the grace of God Go you or I Open your eyes You don't see me You couldn't be me Invisible could be my name Your excuses are so lame Real pleas fall on deaf ears Look away when I'm near Freezing cold in winters heat Burning up can be a treat Blisters breaking on my feet At least I get a subway seat I can't see you I can't hear you You don't see me You couldn't be me Who cares wins Self help and preservation Not now, I'm on vacation Priority is you And screw all those around you Now's the time for you to share Indifference you have to care Deep inside you know it's true How do I get through to you? Open your eyes to the horror Open your eyes to the pain When you live in a box No one knows your name Who Cares Wins - Anthrax Excellent video. Reply #187. Jan 26 19, 3:59 AM |

Levon wears his war wound like a crown He calls his child Jesus 'Cause he likes the name And he sends him to the finest school in town Levon, Levon likes his money He makes a lot they say Spends his days countin' In a garage by the motorway He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day When the New York Times said God is dead And the war's begun Alvin Tostig has a son today And he shall be Levon And he shall be a good man And he shall be Levon In tradition with the family plan And he shall be Levon And he shall be a good man He shall be Levon....

In the heart of holy see In the home of Christianity The seat of power is in danger There's a foe of a thousand swords They've been abandoned by their lords Their fall from grace will pave their paths to damnation Then the 189 In the service of Heaven They're protecting the holy line It was 1527 Gave their lives on the steps to Heaven Thy will be done! For the grace, for the might of our Lord For the home of the holy For the faith, for the way of the sword Gave their lives so boldly For the grace, for the might of our Lord In the name of His glory For the faith, for the way of the sword Come and tell their story again Dying for salvation with dedication No capitulation, annihilation Papal commendation, reincarnation Heaven is your destination In the name of God For the grace, for the might of our Lord In the name of His glory For the faith, for the way of the sword Come and tell their story Gave their lives so boldly Come and tell the Swiss Guards' story again The Last Stand - Sabaton Just now discovering this and I am seriously pumped, man!

Believe it or not...… You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs I look around me and I see it isn't so Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs And what's wrong with that I'd like to know 'Cause here I go again...… Silly Love Songs - Wings What do you think about that, Jo? Can you believe a metalhead like me would actually like a song like that? :-p Reply #196. Feb 08 19, 8:17 PM |

How can people be so heartless How can people be so cruel Easy to be hard Easy to be cold How can people have no feelings How can they ignore their friends Easy to be proud Easy to say no Especially people who care about strangers Who care about evil and social injustice Do you only care about the bleeding crowd How about a needy friend I need a friend...… Easy to be Hard - Three Dog Night Reply #200.
