"Truckin'"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Garcia, Lesh, Weir
Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission.

Truckin' - got my chips cashed in
Keep Truckin - like the doodah man
Together - more or less in line
Just keep Truckin on

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit it's all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings


Dallas - got a soft machine
Houston - too close to New Orleans
New York - got the ways and means
but just won't let you be


Most of the cats you meet on the street speak of True Love
Most of the time they're sittin and cryin at home
One of these days they know they gotta get goin
out of the door and down to the street all alone


Truckin - like the doodah man
once told me you got to play your hand
sometime - the cards ain't worth a dime
if you don't lay em down


Sometimes the light's all shining on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it's been


What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same
Living on reds, vitamin C and cocaine
all a friend can say is "ain't it a shame"


Truckin' -- up to Buffalo
Been thinkin - you got to mellow slow
Takes time - you pick a place to go
and just keep Truckin on


Sitting and staring out of a hotel window
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel
but if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in


Busted - down on Bourbon Street
Set up - like a bowling pin
Knocked down - it gets to wearing thin
They just won't let you be


You're sick of hanging around and you'd like to travel
Tired of travel, you want to settle down
I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying
Get out of the door - light out and look all around


Sometimes the light's all shining on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
what a long strange trip it's been


Truckin - I'm goin home
Whoa-oh baby, back where I belong
Back home - sit down and patch my bones
and get back Truckin on

Sleep Now in the Fire - Rage Against the Machine

The world is my expense
The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with it’s future
And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists
And march around
Don’t dare take what you need
I’ll jail and bury those committed
And smother the rest in greed
Crawl with me into tomorrow
Or I’ll drag you to your grave
I’m deep inside your children
They’ll betray you in my name

Sleep now in the fire

The lie is my expense
The scope of desire
The party blessed me with it’s future
And I protect it with fire
I am the nina the pinta the santa maria
The noose and the rapist
And the fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of hiroshima
The cost of my desire

Sleep now in the fire

For it’s the end of history
It’s caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take
So swallow the one
That made you ill
The nina the pinta the santa maria
The noose and the rapist
The fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of hiroshima
The cost of my desire

Sleep now in the fire

TOOL - Aenima

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless f**king hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any f**king time. Any f**king day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless f**king hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any f**king time. Any f**king day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim.

F**k L Ron Hubbard and
F**k all his clones.
F**k all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

F**k retro anything.
F**k your tattoos.
F**k all you junkies and
F**k your short memory.

Learn to swim.

F**k smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
F**k these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

Definatly KMFDM / MDFMK

notably "new american century", "stars and stripes", "WWIII", "American Dream", and "Beast".

also skinny puppy with "past present", and "optimissed"

and of course Iron Maiden with "Face in the sand" and "the nomad"

REALLY RECOMEND KMFDM b/c of relevent lyrics such as new american century:
[align=right]
Count your blessings
Walk the line
Don't move too fast
Or fall behind
There are rules you must obey
They get re-written by the day
Don't do this - don't say that
Your every move is logged and tracked
By the all oppressive eye
Spy satellites in friendly skies

The new american century
Has only just begun
No one exempt from the tragedy
Counterattack start pushing back

Fight the power
That chokes your speech
Fight the power
That makes you bleed
Fight the power
That propogates lies
To keep you weak
Keep you in line
Fight the power that reigns you in
Divides and conquers
Defines your sin
Fight the power
For one and all
Before the power swallows us whole

No one dares to say a word
Our panic drives all human herds
In the land where cash is king
Our silence bought and sold for free
The future's banging on our door
When real I.D. will be the law
Love thy neighbor and turn him in
It's call patriotism

The world is watching in disbelief
Chanting shame on you
How can you stand by so quietly
Letting them rape your liberties

You can't be bothered or concerned
You see no reason for alarm
Prejudice, religion hate
Usher in new mandate
Absolute and resolved
One nation under one god
Lack of interest has its price
As we're stripped of all our rights

Those who cannot learn from history
Are doomed to repeat it![/align]


Gee I cant wait to save up for my REX-84 condo in hell

Steely Dan - The Last Mall

Attention all shoppers
It's Cancellation Day
Yes the Big Adios
Is just a few hours away

It's last call
To do your shopping
At the Last Mall

You'll need the tools for survival
And the medicine for the blues
Sweet treats and surprises
For the little buckaroos

It's last call
To do your shopping
At the Last Mall

We've got a sweetheart Sunset Special
On all of the standard stuff
'Cause in the morning --that gospel morning
You'll have to do for yourself when the going gets tough

Roll your cart back up the aisle
Kiss the checkout girls goodbye
Ride the ramp to the freeway
Beneath the blood orange sky

It's last call
To do your shopping
At the Last Mall

[magician]

yesterday i was doing the whole industrial anger/electronic thing but today its
death in june - "she said destroy" on my mp3 playlist

heres a song I wrote for you guys because I believe what I see on TV:

abramoff and mohamed atta sittin in a casino boat
fucking the middle east
we want to believe
wages tended
our nation on mute
national discourse is ended

boom boom baby
we swallow the lies
turn the trick
but when its over
its still a demons dick

denial outrage
carefully managed media response
the time will come
oh to lick the blood
bloodlust oh phantom of empire
feed me till our next
theatre of desire


boom boom baby
we swallow the lies
turn the trick
but when its over
its still a demons dick

oh to join the sas and the osp
put on the prayer shawl
put on the world
low grade scam
fake the terror
create reality by holding the cam

boom boom baby
we swallow the lies
turn the trick
but when its all over
its still a demons dick

so this is it
warfare in the fourth generation
so this is it
there is no tommorow
time to eat your media bestowed reality
smoke the govt crack
checkin time on farewell ranch
freedom and democracy we lack

REX84 is the reality behind ill-informed nationalism

boom boom baby
we swallow the lies
turn the trick
but when its over
its still a demons dick

when they say its the arabs
remember its the Maine
when they say its too easy
remember our constitution
when they say its the guns
remember to hide them
when martial law is what you see
remember the tree of liberty

boom boom baby
how many petro-dollars does it take to get to the armageddon they believe in

[johnmarkos]

Well, I'm not exactly "awakened" but if I want to feel doomish or collapsish I like to listen to my friend Armon's instrumental band The Secrets of Family Happiness. They're best live, accompanied by the Point Blank slide show of rusting trains, bleak landscapes, and neglected buildings.

[alecifel]

Thanks, Free! The Pixies have another one that applies too...

"Stuck here out of gas, out on the Gaza strip, from driving in too fast..."

hahaha

REM has us all covered, though. It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

Five Years, David Bowie

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.’s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I’d need so many people

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn’t a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don’t think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you’re beautiful, I want you to walk

We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years

[Epyx]

I was actually listening to 'Menteroja'.

"Lets burn the whole town down, let fire be sign that represent
the breaking trough of the innocents.
’Cause we’re all convicts in governmental prisons,
And if you stay out of focus you’ll get raped by politicians.
And powerful people, the promoters of the evil
It’s ok to bomb kids, but bombing graff it’s illegal.
like your mind expressions, freedom of speech never existed
Or ask communists who’ve been booked since the sixties.
And that’s the process, how the hypocrisy goes on
But fuck that, I’m armed with mics, books and stones
Ready for combat against this Lego democracy
That’s down with sex-discriminations and police brutality
They tried to tire me but I got free by my comrades
Now I’m starting riot with my Intifada cats
For peace and happiness, ‘cause that’s my philosophy
I’m here to bring equality instead of hypocrisy

This is Classwar, if you don’t know what it stands for
It’s rugged and raw, it’s when the rich becomes poor
Classwar, let’s take the power from the front-door
And see all the cops getting beat on the floor

I’m tired of cops abusing their power on demonstrations
Tired of the ignorance I see trough the population
Tired of warfare that’s killing civilians
And I’m tired of the Jewish massacre of Palestinians
Media televises lies, and people swallow them
‘Cause their mind opinion follows what the television says
And when television lies they believe it any way
That’s why it’s easy being a politician these days
Is just be firm and dictate, steal cash and simulate
If people say no, give orders and incarcerate
Fit in the norms and you can go far as hell
But if you don’t you aint going no where like those without legs
Or those who think red, and demonstrate
And got to fight forces supported by the state
So I pick up my slingshot and shoot a stone away
Fuck your government I vote with a Molotov cocktail

This is Classwar, if you don’t know what it stands for
It’s rugged and raw, it’s when the rich becomes poor
Classwar, let’s take the power from the front-door
And see all the cops getting beat on the floor

Humanitarian warfare? And you’re killing children
Destroy a whole population and blame it on religions
Back in the days they blamed it all on the communists
Now the black sheep is called Muslim fundamentalists
They must portrait an enemy so they can justify
All the tortures and murders they have committed world wide
Give me three minutes of silence for those who fell
By the economic terrorism made by the United States
And the United Nations who watch quietly
When big brother invade and rob franticly
This is classwar, because it’s the only hope
To get rid of those pigs that got us hanging from a rope
‘Cause real democracy is made by the masses
Not the elite of politicians dividing us in classes
Sucking their blood and leaving them in the cemetery
My name is Menteroja, spell it revolutionary

This is Classwar, if you don’t know what it stands for
It’s rugged and raw, it’s when the rich becomes poor
Classwar, let’s take the power from the front-door
And see all the cops getting beat on the floor"

My contribution:

The Prophet (Queen)

Oh Oh people of earth
Listen to the warning
The seer he said
Beware the storm that gathers here
Listen to the wise man.

I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair
Spreading his hands on the multitude there
A man who cried for a love gone stale
And ice cold hearts of charity bare.
I watched as fear took the old man's gaze
Hopes of the young in troubled graves
I see no day, I heard him say
So grey is the face of every mortal.

Oh Oh people of earth
Listen to the warning
The prophet he said
For soon the cold of night will fall
Summoned by your own hand.

Oh Oh children of the land
Quicken to the new life
Take my hand
Fly and find the new green bough
Return like the white dove.

He told of death as a bone white haze
Taking the lost and the unloved babe
Late too late all the wretches run
These kings of beasts now counting their days.
From Mother's love is the son estranged
Married his own, his precious gain
The earth will shake, in two will break
And death all around will be your dowry

Oh Oh and two by two
My human zoo
They'll be running for to come
Running for to come out of the rain

Oh fear for your life,
Who heed me not
Let all your devils make you

Oh flee for your life,
Deceive you not
The fires of hell will take you

Should death await you.

(Many awesome vocal overlays)

God give you grace to purge this place
And peace all around will be your fortune

Oh Oh children of the land,
Love is still the answer take my hand
The vision fades, the voice I hear
Don't listen to the mad man

But still I fear and still I dare not
Laugh at the mad man

I agree with alot of the posts here. PO people have great taste in music! My soundtrack is 2 different CD's both from Nine Inch Nails. The first is "The Fragile" double CD released in 1999 and the other is his latest offering "With Teeth" from May 2005. Trent Reznor "IS" Inch Inch Nails and has been my Favorite Artist since 1991. Since I became Peak Oil aware in November 2004 and listened to the "With Teeth" CD in May 2005, I was shocked how PO aware Trent Reznor is and now my love for his music is even more deeply rooted in my soul. It gives me a strange feeling of hope because I actually found something real and truthful in this deceptive world. (just like this web site) Both of these pieces of work are truely amazing and has intellagent lyrics and the melodies, moods are incredible. Now I listen to 1999s The Fragile in a totally different light and I now understand what Trent was conveying. 1999 was the "Good old Days" No wonder the CD flopped commercially. People at the time could not connect to his view an reality, understandably. As I listened to The Fragile in 1999 I would feel the truth in it but could not understand that truth. Trent does not blantantly talk about PO or the coming American Police State but with our new "awareness" it opens up that door and everything becomes very clear as incredibly stark that reality may be. The comforting thing is now I least know the truth about this world. Listen to both these CD's on a good sound system by yourself and you will know exactly what I'm tring to express to you, since it's so hard to tell you in words. I'll do some future posts with some lyrics from a few of his songs from these CD's in the near future.

Only 25 years later do I get The Police. Zenyata Mendata and Ghost in the Machine have heavy songs about survivng war and a nuclear winter. Invisible sun, Omega man, and rehumanize yourself.

Turn on my V.C.R., same one I've had for years
James Brown on the Tammy show,
Same tape I've had for years
I sit in my old car, same one I've had for years
Old battery's running down, it ran for years and years

Turn on the radio, the static hurts my ears
Tell me, where would I go? I ain't been out in years
Turn on the stereo, it's played for years and years
An Otis Redding song, it's all I own

When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around

Plug in my M.C.I, to excercise my brain
Make records on my own, can't go out in the rain
Pick up the telephone, I've listened here for years
No one to talk to me, I've listened here for years

When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When I feel lonely here, don't waste my time with tears
I run 'Deep Throat' again, it ran for years and years
Don't like the food I eat, the cans are running out
Same food for years and years, I hate the food I eat

When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
