Lazy - Deep Purple

Lazy just stay in bed

You're lazy just stay in bed

You don't want no money

You don't want no bread



If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw, no

If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw

You don't want to live you don't want to cry no more



Well my trying ain't done no good

I said my trying ain't done no good

You don't make no effort no not like you should



Lazy you just stay in bed

Lazy you just stay in bed

You don't want no money

You don't want no bread

Icarus - Ani DiFranco

It seems like you just started noticing

How noticeably bad things really are

And then you walk past this couple arguing

In a rolled up window parked car



And all that gesticulated bitterness

And all of that muffled yelling hell

It's like it just starts wafting at you

Like a big furry rat died inside of that wall kinda smell



Bad dreams like this roll in like a cold front

Thunderous thunder and lightning in tow

And your tiny little life gets even smaller

As you heed the heavens' mighty show



And I don't mean heaven like godlike

'Cause the animal I am knows very well

That nature is our teacher and our mother

And god is just another

Story that we tell



You're trying not to grasp

Not to start grasping

At straws or sticks or stones

You're trying to learn to just sit inside your sadness



Even if you're sitting there alone

'Cause just like icarus ascending

Never intending to look back

Nature's law and your tragic flaw



Send you flying into the arms of another Venus fly trap

Guzzle till the buzzing stops

Guzzle till the buzzing stops

Guzzle till the buzzing stops

For Once in Your Life - Hole

You just don't love me

And I just don't care

Oh, I never said I would play fair

Something so perfect and so rare

There is no cure

There's not a prayer, a prayer

Look what I can do



I am the only perfect choice

You've met your match

I've lost my voice

And when you're gone it gets so cold

I swear I'm too young to be this old, this old

Look what I can do



Oh, I've been cheated

Covered in diamonds and covered in filth

But I'm still breathing

Oh, please stick around and I'll build



Yes, I've crawled on glass

To grasp at straws

Stuttering, staggering through

And I've pierced the last hole in my arm

To gouge out the pieces of you



And your staggering, stuttering greed

And your never ending need

And your terrible awful deeds

And your lack of truth in these things



You know the whole thing is writ

You'll always quit

You always did

To the most delusional stare

And all that I have is out

And laid bare

And laid bare

Look what I can do

Look what I can do

Look what I can do



Oh, I've been bitter

You know what's true

And you know what's right

Oh, I'm forever

Oh, just do the right thing

For once

In your life

In your life



I know that I'm a hungry lost girl

But please stick around and I'll build you a world

I'll build you a world

I'll build you a world
