LiveMusic Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 What songs come to mind? Could be more mild or not mild at all. Zager & Evans (did P.F. Sloan right it?) "In The Year 2525" leads the pack. I think even Tom T. Hall wrote one. Can't remember right now. > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 With more of a suicide angle, but somewhat applicable, "Take The Long Way Home" by Supertramp. Sting's "Russians". I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantasticsound Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Michael Jackson's real nose hit it right on the... well.. the nose! I was thinking individually. How about (In A) New York Minute by the Eagles. Awesome song! There's a beautiful song by a group you never heard of named The Peregrins called Empty Air that also applies.

Phait Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 the deadlights - sweet oblivion (actually an upbeat sounding song) Sweet oblivion Don't leave me waiting too long Once we were a tease We had everything we could ask for, here in your cold embrace There is no distance or time But in such sweet solitude My pain starts to fade away Meet me in the bathroom and I'll show you everything I'll give you something that you can belive in You kept me waiting Waiting for oh so long Don't leave me standing here Sweet oblivion Don't leave me waiting too long Cuz when I lost my mind You're the only one I could turn to Perpetuate, but I'd be wasting my time I've finally realized you're the only on that I needed Meet me in the bathroom and I'll show you everything I'll give you something that you can believe in You kept me waiting Waiting for oh so long Don't leave me standing here All this filth and disease that brought us all to our knees, but the faithful will keep holding on When all that they're living for is gone to never see the sun mudvayne - internal primates forever (drug addiction?) Cop provisions feed my addictions mistakes I made then I opened up the holes and they crawled in, Now when it's time for the feed they won't let me forget, They ride upon my back and they'll fuck me with their need, My invisible enemies all my monkeys Their coming they're coming their coming they're coming to take me away. Disgusted with my position so submissive I am the only way we get away is give in sharpen up the razors stab the needles into pipes to kill cravings so sick of this in me can't stand the want to need can't get free always got a grip on me There's no use to fight this wrenching tourniquet of deprivation obedience subservience leads to substance Do you want more give it to me Leave my motivation to chemical dependency no room for patience Don't want it need it come on right now [chorus voice 2] Everything I've become now is everything I didn't want to be Every time I try to run away I fall on my face they drag me back Every time I try to run away I fall on my face Help! They won't leave me alone If I would have known back then what I know now I 'd take it back If I would have known back then what I know now I 'd take it back, I'd take it back I'd take it all fuckin' back Stay away stay away Hold me I'm shaking violently Pull me out of my covering Mold me into a new man Lull me into a deep sleep There's no use to fight this wrenching tourniquet of deprivation obedience subservience leads to substance Even if you want you can't stop Internal primates forever nine inch nails - the downward spiral He couldn't believe how easy it was He put the gun into his face Bang! (So much blood for such a tiny little hole) Problems have solutions A lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash Everything's blue In this world The deepest shade of mushroom blue All fuzzy Spilling out of my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you tell me, over and over and over again You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction." ....Barry McGuire, The Eve of Destruction A little less outright, but nevertheless: "With five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains And I wonder, still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain." ...John Fogarty, Who'll Stop the Rain To the tune of "I Fought the Law": I fought Iraq and Iran won.

fantasticsound Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 On the other side... there's a wonderful song about the apocolyse by Toy Matinee called Last Plane Out. Greetings from Sodom. How we wish you were here. The weather's getting warmer now.. that the trees are all cleared. No time for a conscience. And we recognize no crime. Yeah, we got dogs and valvoline.. it's a pretty damn good time. Men of reason, Not of rhyme, Keep the spoils but share the crime. Good men, bad men, Lost without, Hope for passage on a last plane out. There was one repressed do-gooder, And a few who still believed. Yes I think there were 5 good men here yesterday.. but they were asked to leave. So we kept the good old vices, And labored to invent a few. With cake in vulgar surplus, We can have it.. and eat it too Men of reason, Hide you face. Walking faster, Plays his ace. Good men, bad men, Lost without, Hope for passage on a last plane out. (Bridge) So here's a concept you can't dance to, A deed you cannot harm. There may not be an empty seat when all is said and done. I'm not the guy who sings the hymns, No bleeding hearts to mend. But I like the part where Icarus.. highjacks the little red hen Someone said the Big Man, Maybe joining us soon. But I never was the type to hang.. with the harbingers of doom. This party is addictive. Self destructive no doubt. So I hope they save an empty seat for me on the last plane out. (Repeat Chorus') It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Soundcrafter Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Year Of The Car Crash by Warsawpack. I'm betting none of you have heard of theses guys, but I could be wrong. Many tunes on their 2 albums, Gross Domestic Product and Stocks & Bombs speak things to that effect. Valdez is another prime example.
