"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Mucho gusto me llamo bradley I'm hornier than Ron Jeremy
And if you wanna get popped in your knee
Just wipe that look off your bati face
You hate me 'cause I got what you need
A pretty little daughter that we call mexi
If you wanna get beat physically, it will be over in a minute if ya
So she told me to come over and I took that trip
And then she pulled out my mushroom tip
And when it came out it went drip drip drip
I didn't know she had that gi joe kung-fu grip
And it went uuh, and the girl carresed me down, uhh, and thats that loving sound
When I kiss mexi it makes me feel horny
Cause i'm the type of lover with the sensitivity
When she kiss my neck and tickle me fancy
She give me the right kind of love on Sunday morning
En otro lado es donde viví con mijita que se llama mexi
Y su hermana si me quiere
Y ahorita tenemos un bebé
Sus padres sus padres me trataron matar
But they did not get to far
Un poco después tuve que regresar
Con un chingo de dinero 'cause you know I'm a star
Yo fui a costa rica para tomar y sufear
Practicaba con la raza 'cause they know who we are
Sí no me dió cuenta than I bet you never will
You must be a muñeca if you're still standing still
And it went uuh, and the girl carresed me down, uhh, and thats that loving sound
Me gusta mi reggae
Me gusta punk rock
Pero la cosa que me gusta más es panochita
Pon la nalga en el aire if you know who you are
Pon el nalga en el aire empieza gritar
No tenga miedo I'm your papí
Take your chones y los manden a mí
Levanta levanta tienes que gritar
Levanta levanta tienes que bailar
And it went uuh, and the girl carresed me down, uhh, and thats that loving sound
And if you wanna get popped in your knee
Just wipe that look off your bati face
You hate me 'cause I got what you need
A pretty little daughter that we call mexi
If you wanna get beat physically, it will be over in a minute if ya
So she told me to come over and I took that trip
And then she pulled out my mushroom tip
And when it came out it went drip drip drip
I didn't know she had that gi joe kung-fu grip
And it went uuh, and the girl carresed me down, uhh, and thats that loving sound
When I kiss mexi it makes me feel horny
Cause i'm the type of lover with the sensitivity

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."

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
the song is about sex
Punkrockr, something tells me you're right.
YES!!! THE GREATEST SEX SONG IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!
LOL, yep yep. It's so dirty but its a great song.
SUBLIME KICKS ASS! Ans so does this song. It is the best sex song

First of all, this is my FAVORITE song by Sublime, and this person fucked it up!!!! First of all, you got some of the lyrics wrong, and you mistranslated some of the spanish!!!! Muneca means doll, not fucker and in the part where he goes to Mexico, no where does it say 'Estuve,' it is supposed to be, "Yo fue a Costa Rica para comer y sufiar," then it goes to , "Practacaba con la raza if you know who we are!" GOD!!! If you're going to write Sublime's lyrics, at least honor the memory of Brad, and GET THEM RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great song.... man did he ever love his sex
