This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I'll let the door, hit you right in the face
And when the check comes, I'll make ya pay
Don't have a car, I guess you're picking me up
And in the backseat, we'll be falling in love
My only job is, to lie on this couch
And while you're working, I'll be hanging out
Now don't get mad 'cause, you knew from the start
I was an asshole who would never go far
'Cause when you're really good to girls
Give them your entire world
They end up walking away, hey hey
They don't want a stand up guy
Rather have you cheat and lie
And do something they hate
Girls don't want a gentleman
They say they do but in the end
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
Girls don't want a gentleman
If you want to get to them
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
Your parents cry
When you bring me around
They raised you up
Just so I could take you down
There goes your life
Right before their eyes
I'll have ya barefoot
Pregnant going out of your mind
'Cause when you're really good to girls
Give them your entire world
They end up walking away, hey hey
They don't want a stand up guy
Rather have you cheat and lie
And do something they hate
Girls don't want a gentleman
They say they do but in the end
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
Girls don't want a gentleman
If you want to get to them
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
I used to be a nice guy
But that don't get you anywhere
So now I am just a piece of shit, idiot
Who's too stupid to care
When you give a girl respect
Treat her like she is the best
You're nothing to her
She'd rather have you playing games
Piss her off and make her wait
If you want to do her
Girls don't want a gentleman
They say they do but in the end
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
Girls don't want a gentleman
If you want to get to them
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
Girls don't want a gentleman
They say they do but in the end
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
Girls don't want a gentleman
If you want to get to them
Girls don't want a gentleman
They want a loser like me
They want a loser like me
They want a loser like me
And when the check comes, I'll make ya pay
Don't have a car, I guess you're picking me up
And in the backseat, we'll be falling in love
My only job is, to lie on this couch
And while you're working, I'll be hanging out
Now don't get mad 'cause, you knew from the start
I was an asshole who would never go far
'Cause when you're really good to girls

They want a loser like me
They want a loser like me
They want a loser like me

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
even though i'm a girl and (seriously if any guy treats a girl like this what the hell?) i have to agree with this song. every girl wants this perfect handsome sweet guy but it's the badass idiots that get every girl going. every girl wants a gentlemen but it's always going to be the bastards that treat them like crap that they'll chase and never feel complete without. i really hope i do find that "gentlemen" but seriously, more girls fall for the idiot stuff guys pull.
"Cause when you're really good to girls, give them their entire world They end up walking away, hey hey They don't want a stand up guy They'd rather have you cheat and lie And do something they hate"
so true...so true
This song is totally true of a relationship I was in this time last year. I gave her everything, and she just acted free, and cheated on me. I treated her great, but I guess she just wanted to be with a jackass...being the nice guy got me screwed over. All I know is that it took me a year to find Ms.Right.
