"Well I've been to Hiroshima, Nagasaki too
And the things I've done to them, babe, I can do to you
'Cause I'm a Fujiyama Mama, and I'm just about to blow my top
And when I start erupting, baby, nobody's gonna make me stop"
- Wanda Jackson
"You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look it, and far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure there's anything left of me"
- Blue Oyster Cult
"In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and stepping out over the line"
- Bruce Springsteen
"You're living in your own Private Idaho
Where do I go from here to a better state than this
Well, don't be blind to the big suprise
Swimming around and around like a deadly hand
of a radium clock, at the bottom, of the pool"
- the B-52's
"I got it one piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style, I'm gonna drive ever'body wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around"
- Johnny Cash
"Don't tell me you don't know the difference between a lover and a fighter
With my pen and electric typewriter
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
I'd still own the film rights and be working on a sequel
I 'm giving you a long look
Everyday...everyday...everyday...everyday I write the book"
- Elvis Costello
"I put a spell on you...because you're mine
You better stop that thing that you do - you better watch out
I ain't lyin'
Ain't gonna take none of you're foolin' around
Ain't gonna take none of your puttin' me down
I put a spell on you...because you're mine"
- Creedence Clearwater Revival
"nihilistic mystics, apostolic alcoholics
messianic manics, cataclysmic and prolific
in the age of super boredom - hype and mediocrity
celebrate relentlessness - menace to society...
refuse is our inspiration, terrorism our trade
sabotage and piracy - chaos our mental state
mesmerizing festering, intended for the faint of heart
cultish and anthemic - until death us do part"
- KFMDM
"I'm just an average man, with an average life
I work from 9 to 5 - hey hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone - in my average home
But why do I always feel - like I'm livin' in the Twilight Zone?"
- Rockwell
