Genius words/lyrics

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out, the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, baby blue

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, baby blue

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Your empty-handed army is all going home
You lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, baby blue

Leave your stepping stones behind now, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, baby blue

Bob Dylan
 
The year is 94, in my trunk is raw
In my rearview mirror is the motherfuckin law
Got two choices, y'all pull over the car or
Bounce on the devil, put the pedal to the floor
And I ain't trying to see no highway chase with Jake
Plus I got a few dollars I can fight the case
So I pull over to the side of the road
I heard son do yoou know why i'm stopping you for
Cos I'm young and I'm black and my hat's pulled low
Do I look like a mind reader, Sir, I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some more
Well you was doing 55 in a 54
License and registration and step outta the car
Are you carrying a weapon I know a lot of you are
I ain't steeping outta shit, all my paper's legit
Well do you mind if I look aroound the car a bit
My glove compartment's locked, so's the trunk in the back
And I know my rights so you gonna need a warrant for that
Aren't you sharp as a tack
Some type of lawyer or something
Someone important or something
Well I ain't passed the bar but I know a little bit
Enough that you wonxt illegally search my shit
Well we see how smart you are when the k9 come
I got 99 problems but a woman ain't one
 
I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
You're slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen
You've never seen the lonely me at all
 
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long-stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Oh, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
When you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
Everybody knows

Leonard Cohen
 
Thought Wanderingwolf would do it but I have to add just a smidgeon of Joni Mitchell. For an insight into relationships I could put the whole song down but for descriptive succinctness I'll just put this.

I know no one's going to show me everything
We all come and go unknown
Each so deep and superficial
Between the forceps and the stone

Well I looked at the granite markers
Those tribute to finality to eternity
And then I looked at myself here
Chicken scratching for my immortality
In the church they light the candles
And the wax rolls down like tears
There's the hope and the hopelessness
I've witnessed thirty years
We're only particles of change I know I know
Orbiting around the sun
But how can I have that point of view
When I'm always bound and tied to someone
White flags of winter chimneys
Waving truce against the moon
In the mirrors of a modern bank
From the window of a hotel room

Hejira
From the album Hejira

Oasis - Rockin Chair

Which adult over the age of 30 doesn't resonate with that lyric!!
 
No fuck that - you won't take me
You won't break me and you'll never make me
Step in line or step march in time
Well you can violate my body but my soul is still mine
You must think that I'm fucking stupid, man
If you think I'm gonna hang with the program
Some fool schedule
I don't give a shit about
What is or what isn't cool
I make the rules, I stand alone
And if they try a tap I leave 'em hangin' on the telephone
One of these days I'm gonna get sectioned
I bet they even say it's for my own protection
Rejection leads straight to correction
Look out, here comes a strange injection
They've got a drug to numb my erection
But they won't take this from me:
My state of mind
