The bashing, the racism, the arguments, the fears, the jokes, the laughter....where is it all sumed up in one song?

I think it;s "Where is the Love" by the Black Eyed Peas

--

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how angers works and operates
*beep*, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our own direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love

We only got one world (one world)
That's all we got (one world, one world)
Somethings wrong with it, somethings wrong with it

I was thinking on "I still haven't found what I'm looking for"... Don't know why though. :?

What's that Chumbawumba song...oh, yeah, Tubthumping or whatever it is.

I think it celebrates the scrappiness of many states that just keep coming back for more, even when the entire forum turns against them.

That, and I think many of us are drunk when we post here. :D

That seems like a fairly appropriate song, Colodia.

'Where is the love' fits the NS forums like a glove, and the other portions of the song relate to many of the things we discuss here.

Hush you!

Song for the deaf by Queens of the Stone Age

or

On deaf ears by One minute Silence

or

I Feel so lonesome I could cry by Hank Williams

lyrics would be good peoplE!

Nothing Ever Happens by Del Amitri

Lyrics later when the server's less busy...

Now I know why! :D :x

Does anyone care to guess?

"Funkytown" sums up the NationStates general forum perfectly.

I’m not sure about the general forum itself but for the server I would have to say Cruel Mistress by Flogging Molly. :x

I went through two of those by the time I was able to type my message

De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
From the album Zenyatta Mondatta (A&M)
Words and music by Sting

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
The only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no one's jamming their transmission
'Cos when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

whatever that old slogan/commercial song for the "can of spam" was.

How about "It's driving me craaazy..."? Can't remember the singer, sorry.

NS sometimes makes me laugh, almost makes me cry and other times just drives me up the wall (and not only because of the server lags *g*), but then again I'm here voluntarily... Anyone know the address to the Anonymous Masochists page...?

From the immortal Tom Lehrer:

The Masochism Tango Lyrics



{Another familiar type of lovesong is the passionate or firy variety, usually in tango tempo, in which the singer exhorts his partner to haunt him and taunt him and, if at all possible, to consume him with a kiss of fire. This particular illustration of this genre is called The Masochism Tango. }

I ache for the touch of your lips, Dear,
But much more for the touch of your whips, Dear.
You can raise welts
Like nobody else,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.

Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
Say it's me that you want to dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.

At your command
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand. Ecch!
It's here that I must be.
My heart entreats,
Just hear those savage beats,
And go put on your cleats
And come and trample me.
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany,
That's why I'm in such exquisite agony.

My soul is on fire,
It's aflame with desire,
Which is why I perspire
When we tango.

You caught my nose
In your left castanet, Love,
I can feel the pain yet, Love,
Ev'ry time I hear drums.
And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, Love,
With the thorns underneath, Love,
Sticking into your gums.

Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
The last time I needed twenty stitches
To sew up the gash
That you made with your lash,
As we danced to the Masochism Tango.

Bash in my brain,
And make me scream with pain,
Then kick me once again,
And say we'll never part.
I know too well
I'm underneath your spell,
So, Darling, if you smell
Something burning, it's my heart.
Excuse me!

Take your cigarette from its holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that you're mine,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.

:lol: I guess I'm not the only one who used to listen to Dr. Demento regularly. Collaboration, I think you found our winner.

Or perhaps Pink Floyd...I forget, but it went something like:

"We don't need no education.....we don't need no mind controllllll"

say it really slow and deep

That's it! The Monty Python Spam song!

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM...

The bashing, the racism, the arguments, the fears, the jokes, the laughter....where is it all sumed up in one song?

I think it;s "Where is the Love" by the Black Eyed Peas

GOD I HATE THAT SONG.


I would say, "Welcome to the Jungle" -- Guns N Roses

Well the title to this song fits anyway: "Wasted Days and wasted Nights" by Freddie Fender. :lol:

I think the Spooks - Bitch Blood probably sums up the nature of debates well. Try saying the following really quickly and harshly through gritted teeth. A flavour:

What, look at you!
Getting all in your feelings trying to think of a way to downplay anything I say
You're just a bitch, acting like you ain't a bitch
Hoping never to be exposed for being a bitch
Soon as you find yourself in the company of individuals who for the most part got their shit together
You start telling stories about cool shit that other people do
Then insert yourself in their shoes like we're going think it was you
But you're not that clever!
You can't slip past our radar - not even in stealth mode
Cause once you cross the threshold you're zapped with a barcode
So now we all know, and you can never go incognito
Cause your I.D. reveals your past and untold truths
You a Bitch Blood carrier
You're not contagious, but NOBODY wants to be around you!

wow, the power of the mods never ceases to amaze me.... I wish I had the ability to post such vulgarities without a guilty conscience.

*Rubs eyes*

*Stretches*

Two whole weeks of my life...

"Free Speech For The Dumb" by Discharge:

"Free speech free speech for the dumb/Free speech free speech for the dumb/Free speech free speech for the dumb/Free speech free speech for the dumb."

I wish I could say it was Blind Guardian's "And then there was silence" :)


But I think it's more like Iced Earth's "Pure Evil" lol

On...Second Thought, Megadeth's Holy Wars works too


1. Holy Wars...The Punishment Due

Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand

Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?

A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand

The end is near, it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be in your homelands

Holy wars

Upon my podium, as the
Know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgement
Gavel's bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God

Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die.

They killed my wife, and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake...last mistake!
Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
Next mistake...no more mistakes!

Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't
Thinkin'it
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings.
