LET'S ROCK
[WARNING: I shall not censor myself here! No s*** and f*** here!]
LET’S ROCK
I.
Lately I’ve been thinking about the
past
About the good times
And have they all come and gone
And are there more years behind than
ahead
Then I say to myself
Fuck it let's rock
Let's rock let's rock
Let's rock let's rock let's rock
II.
Lately I’ve been thinkin’ who’s in
charge
About who they are
And are they looking down and laughing
hard
And are they aliens or robots or humanoids
or gods
I think I’m just paranoid
Fuck it let's rock
Let's rock let's rock
Let's rock let's rock let's rock
BRIDGE:
What if someone takes my cat what
if she runs away
What if she gets hit
What if someone takes my chick what
if she runs away
I won’t be blue
Cuz I know what to do
III.
Lately I’ve been thinking about my
vices
And about the prices
That I’ll later have to pay
I’ve been thinking about myself
And about my health
Then I’ll say what the hell
Let's rock let's rock let's rock
Let's rock let's rock let's rock
Let's rock let's rock let's rock
Let's rock let's rock let's rock
In my opinion, this is the most thought-provoking song in the whole album. It is so simple, so beautiful, so spiritual (I'm serious). It’s also my favorite song in the album.

“Ohmmmmm.....”
Seriously, this song is the very essence of the whole “Fush Yu Mang” album. In fact, I’m feeling so philosophical that I just want to say four words about this whole song:
FUCK IT, LET’S ROCK!
But, no. I’m gonna analyze, and I’m gonna friggin’ ANAL-yze, dammit! (I hate it when I can only temporarily reach nirvana...)
Verse 1: Regrets and fear...FUCK IT,
LET’S ROCK!
Verse 2: Questions about role in universe;
religion; philosophy; meaning of life...FUCK IT, LET’S ROCK! (1)
Bridge: Loss of loved ones...FUCK
IT, LET’S ROCK!
Added note: I loved how they equally
compared the value of an animal and a human being.
Verse 3: Sins, their repercussions,
and one's health...FUCK IT, LET’S ROCK!
Personally, this is my favorite song
in the album. (I think I already said that.) When I think of Fush Yu Mang,
I think of this song.....

[from a lost x-files episode] (a)
MULDER: "Even though the smell
of this corpse is about to make me faint, I shall take a very deep breath
so that I may be able to exhaustively explain my findings...According to
my heightened paranoia, intense distrust for institutionalized establishments
(though I ironically work for the U.S. government), and keen yet schizophrenic
insight, I have come to conclude that some form of extraterrestrial lifeform
has penetrated this man's anus to render him incapable of excreting his
bowels. Why is this of importance? You see, the missing stench from this
man's biological excess wastes will not attract houseflies--the very insects
whose rapid beatings of wings are vital for the continuation of life in
our planet for they provide the necessary cycle of oxygen and nitrogen.
We may have to do some cross-referencing work on the chaos theory--"
SCULLY: "--Mulder?"
MULDER: "Yes, agent Scully?"
SCULLY: "Shut the fuck up and
let's rock!!!"

Fush Yu Mang ZenA man travelling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.
Two mice, one white and white black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!
