Somethings Are Better Said In Song

One Pill - Nya Jade
Do you remember?
How love could get you by
Do you remember?
The joy in the moonlit sky
People we're to visit for coffee and conversation
We're racing through the city
We're a quick fix nation

And there's one Pill just to kill the pain
And there's one pill to make you feel sain
And there's one pill for a cheap thrill
And it's all down hill

Do you remember?
What it's like to be a child
Or how your first love could always drive you wild
People we're forgetting love is a free sensation
Instead we're all just betting on a pharmacy vacation

And there's one pill just to kill the pain
And there's one pill to make you feel sain
And there's one pill for a cheap thrill
And it's all down hill

Take me back
To the melody
Simply way
To relax
Let your energy wash over me.

One pill just to kill the pain
And there's one pill to make you feel sain
And there's one pill for a cheap thrill
And it's all down hill

Yes it's all down hill

Everybody's Gone To War - Nerina Pallot
I've got a friend, he's a pure-bred killing machine
He says he's waited his whole damn life for this
I knew him well when he was seventeen
Now he's a man, he'll be dead by Christmas

And so, everybody's going to war
But we don't know what we're fighting for
Don't tell me it's a worthy cause
No cause could be so worthy

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober
If hope is a song, I guess it's all over
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don't want to die
If God is on our side, then God is a joker
Asleep on the job, his children fall over
Running out through the door and straight to the sky
I don't want to die

For every man who wants to rule the world
There'll be a man who just wants to be free
What do we learn, but what should not be learned?
Too late to find a cure for this disease

And so, everybody's going to war
But we don't know what we're fighting for
Don't tell me it's a worthy cause
No cause could be so worthy

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober
If hope is a song, I guess it's all over
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don't want to die
If God's on our side, then God is a joker
Asleep on the job, his children fall over
Running out through the door and straight to the sky
I don't want to die
I-I-I-I don't want to die
I-I don't want to die

Dear Mr. President - Pink
Dear Mr. President, come take a walk with me. Let's pretend we're just two people and you're not better than me. I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly. What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street? Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep? What do you feel when you look in the mirror? Are you proud? How do you sleep while the rest of us cry? How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye? How do you walk with your head held high? Can you even look me in the eye and tell me why? Dear Mr. President, were you a lonely boy, are you a lonely boy? How can you say no child is left behind, we're not dumb and we're not blind. They're all sitting in your cells, while you pave the road to hell. What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away. And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay? I can only imagine what the first lady has to say, you've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine. How do you sleep while the rest of us cry? How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye? How do you walk with your head held high? Can you even look me in the eye? Let me tell you bout hard work. Minimum wage with a baby on the way. Let me tell you bout hard work. Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away. Let me tell you bout hard work. Building a bed out of a cardboard box. Let me tell you bout hard work, hard work You don't know nothing bout hard work, hard work! Dear Mr. President you'd never take a walk with me. Would you?
