"Money, it's a hit [...]
Money, it's a crime
share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
money, so they say
is the root of all evil today"
Pink Floyd - Money


"So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cold breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here"
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here


"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one"
John Lennon - Imagine


"Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today [...]

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today"
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On


"War is hell, when will it end,
When will people start gettin' together again"
Marvin Gaye - What's Happening Brother


"Don't criticise what you can't understand"
Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A Changin'

The climate's unhealthy
Flies and rats thrive
And sooner or later the end will arrive.

"Bad Habit" by The Offspring

Quote:

Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease
Something’s odd
I feel like I’m god
You stupid dumbsh_t goddam motherf_cker!

"16 held such better days, Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home to pass the time in my room alone." Adam's Song by blink-182
The song that got me into them like in the 3rd or 4th grade.
