Poisoning Their Brainwashed Minds

War Pigs icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 01 from the Paranoid LP by Black Sabbath icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Generals gathered in their masses just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction: the sorcerer of Death’s construction
In the fields are bodies burning as the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind—poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why shouldn’t they go out to fight?
Leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power-mad minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait until their judgment day comes

Now in darkness the world stops turning
With ashes where there were bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power
The hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees the War Pigs are crawling and begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord!

Crash to the Other Shore or Swim to the Ocean Floor

Madonna's "Ray of Light" album cover. [Formatted]

Put your head on my shoulder, things can’t get any worse
The night is getting colder
Sometimes life feels like it’s a curse

I can’t carry these sins on my back
I don’t want to carry any more
I’m going to careen this train off the tracks
I’m going to swim to the ocean floor

Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

Children killing children
Students rape their teachers
Comets fly across the sky
Churches burn their preachers

We can’t carry these sins on our backs
We don’t want to carry any more
We’re going to careen this train off the tracks
We’re going to swim to the ocean floor

Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

Let the water wash over you—wash it all over you
Swim to the ocean floor
So that we can begin again
Wash away all our sin
And crash to the other shore

I can’t carry these sins on my back
I don’t want to carry any more
I’m going to careen this train off the tracks
I’m going to swim to the ocean floor

Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

We can’t carry these sins on our backs
We don’t want to carry any more
We’re going to careen this train off the tracks
We’re going to swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

We Are the Hungry Ones On a Lightning Raid

Animal icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 03 from the Hysteria LP by Def Leppard icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Def Leppard's "Hysteria" album cover. [Formatted]

A wild ride over stony ground
Such a lust for life
The circus comes to town
We are the hungry ones on a lightning raid
Just like a river runs—like a fire needs flame—I burn for you

I’ve got to feel it in my blood
I need your touch
I need your love

And I want
And I need
And I lust
Animal

I cry wolf to feel the mouth to mouth
Like a moving heartbeat in the witching hour
I’m running with the wind
I’m a shadow in the dust
And like the driving rain—like the restless rust—I never sleep

I’ve got to feel it in my blood
I need your touch
I need your love

And I want
And I need
And I lust
Animal

Cry wolf
Cry tough
Gonna hunt you like an animal
Gonna take your love and run

I’ve got to feel it in my blood
I need your touch
I need your love

And I want
And I need
And I lust
Animal

I Tried Levitation, and Flying in Formation

Falling Down icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 02 from the Raoul and the Kings of Spain LP by Tears for Fears icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Tears for Fears' "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" album cover. [Formatted]

Is this world spinning round?
Has this ship run aground?
What’s that shape?
What’s that sound?
That’s just me falling down

Some of us are free and some are bound
Some will swim and some will drown
Some of us are saints while some are clowns
Just like me they’re all falling down

I lied to the nation while my reputation ran dry
From my lungs to my liver, I clung to the river bank’s side
Now I’m back in the water doing what I ought to and trying to lead an ordinary life

Is this world spinning round?
Has this ship run aground?
What’s that shape?
What’s that sound?
That’s just me falling down

Some of us are green while some are brown
Some are lost and some are found
Sight unseen and sound on sound
Pray for me, I’m falling down

I was lost in the jungle and crossed over enemy lines
I got a red nose by sleeping under hedgerows at night
I tried levitation, and flying in formation, but heaven knows the weight of these crimes

Is this world spinning round?
Has this ship run aground?
What’s that shape?
What’s that sound?
That’s just me falling down

Falling down
