Songs that have Jedi Teachings, etc...

And finally for me:

True Faith by New Order

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

and almost forgot:

It's In The Way That You Use It - Eric Clapton

It's in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
It's in the way that you use it,
Boy don't you know.


And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don't you ever abuse it,
Don't let it go.


Nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong.
No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone.


I've seen dark skies, never like this.
Walked on some thin ice, never like this.
I've told you white lies, never like this.
Looked into true eyes, never like this.

New here, but this place gives me the same kind of feel I get from this song.

Awesome by Darling Violetta

Somewhere in cyberspace,
the minutes turn to hours.
The world is in my hands,
Unfolding like a flower.
A golden energy is rising out of my head.
I shed my evil skin,
And found myself again.

I was wrong.
I don't mind.
The impossible seems possible this time.
I'm an electric wire.
If the sun can radiate then so can I.

This is a good day for,
a revolution of the mind.
Voices ride the wind,
And take me to the night.
I crawled over broken glass,
To find a place in the sun.
It was with me all along,
The circle had begun.

I was wrong.
I don't mind.
The impossible seems possible this time.
I'm an electric wire.
If the sun can radiate then so can I.

Salt and sea,
I will stay free.
Fire and air
Draw down to me.
Round and round,
Love circles down.

I'm an electric wire.
If the sun can radiate then so can I.

I don't mind.
The impossible seems possible this time.
I'm an electric wire.
If the sun can radiate then so can I.
Then so can I.

I have been listening to a EminEm channel on my Pandora app... they mix other artists in there as well...

I have recently discovered a liking for 2Pac...

Ya have to like Rap for this, but I do, so it was easy for me...

\"Changes\"
[1]
Come on come on
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black
my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers
give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin' changes
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
and that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed, and that's the way it is

[Bridge w/ changing ad libs]
Come on come on
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
aww yeah
[Repeat]

[2]
I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
\"I made a G today\" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. \" I gotta get paid,\"
Well hey, well that's the way it is

[Bridge]

[Talking:]
We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

[3]
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the facts givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimp smack you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
& I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some punk that I roughed up way back
comin' back after all these years
rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh

[Bridge 'til fade:]
Some things will never change

'So, I'm not the only one who looks for songs to express faith and teachings.' Jack mused. It was comforting -- to see that there were some things that just came to humans, naturally. Things that seemed unusual on an individual basis were actually a universal trait.

\"Dude, A.T., can you think of any songs that would sum up the Jedi religion and it's teachings?\" Jack called to her sister on the couch. In reply, her sister pulled the headphones out of her computer, and Jack heard the familiar Green Day rock of '21 guns':

Do you know what's worth fighting for/
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away/
And you feel yourself suffocating?

Does the pain weigh out the pride/
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins.

One, twenty-one guns/
Lay down your arms, give up the fight/
One, twenty-one guns/
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I.

When you're at the end of the road/
And you've lost all sense of control/
And your thoughts have taken their toll/
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul/

Your faith walks on broken glass/
And the hangover doesn't pass/
Nothing's ever built to last/
You're in ruins.

One, twenty-one guns/
Lay down your arms, give up the fight/
One, twenty-one guns/
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I.

\"Awfully calm song for the punks who did 'American Idiot', huh?\" Jack muttered. A.T. shrugged.

\"Isn't that what the Jedi are about? Peace, not war, and how it's better to surrender honorably than keep fighting and keep hurting other people? And, you know... not being proud or self-centered and other **** like that?\"

Did you try to live on your own/
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire/
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?

\"I guess.\" And, as she listened, it seemed more and more relevant. Maybe it was just her, or maybe it was other anecdotes about people finding faith, but it just worked: How trying to keep everything under control would always set someone up for a fall, or how trying to escape the real world through drugs made it worse. And balance was returned by letting go of selfish desires and anger and hatred.

\"Now, shaddup. I wanna listen to the music.\"

When it's time to live and let die/
And you can't get another try/
Something inside this heart has died/
You're in ruins.

One, twenty-one guns/
Lay down your arms, give up the fight.
One, twenty-one guns/
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I.

One, twenty-one guns/
Lay down your arms, give up the fight.
One, twenty-one guns/
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I.

\"You know what I'D like to hear?\" A.T. said, \"A choir singing a version of this song, including the instruments in the background.\"

\"That would be cool.\"

You are all following the wrong path. this is not the way his noodleness would want us to live. you should all convert to Pasatfarianism.

The central belief is that an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe \"after drinking heavily\". According to these beliefs, the Monster's intoxication was the cause for a flawed Earth. Furthermore, according to Pastafarianism, all evidence for evolution was planted by the Flying Spaghetti Monster in an effort to test Pastafarians' faith—parodying certain biblical literalists.When scientific measurements such as radiocarbon dating are taken, the Flying Spaghetti Monster \"is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage\".The Pastafarian belief of Heaven contains a beer volcano and a stripper factory.The Pastafarian Hell is similar, except that the beer is stale and the strippers have sexually transmitted diseases.


may you reach out and touch his noodley apendage on this day of higher learning.

Sounds awesome

Ride On- AC\DC

It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head
That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep dragging on
Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat
But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do -
Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days
Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on

Man, I thought I was the old foggie around here...

Values Here, by Dagnasty

Whatdya say?
When I say
We'll be here through tomorrow
In my heart and in my head

Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems
I never had
Never doubted what I had inside
What I had inside

Values Here
In my heart
We'll be here through tomorrow
Every day and brand new start

Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems, I never had
Never doubted what you had inside
What you had inside

Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems, I never had
Never doubted what we had inside
What we had inside

Still deciphering the stanzas but the chorus of Diamond Eyes by Shinedown is pretty awesome

I'm on the front line
Don't worry I'll be fine
The story is just begining
Say goodbye to me weekness
So long to regrets
Now I know that I'm alive
I'm on the front line
don't worry I'll be fine
The story is just begining
Say goodbye to my weekness
So long to regrets
Now I see the world through Diamond Eyes
